No matter the topic, the event, or the deadline – and no matter where you are in the process, from scribbled notes on a napkin to an early draft – you can count on The Writers For Hire to craft a captivating and compelling presentation that resonates with your audience.
Our diverse team includes writers with backgrounds in fields like oil & gas, education, and software engineering – to name just a few. We have written speeches and created PowerPoint presentations for a wide range of high-profile, industry events, including:
We have prepared presentations for C-suite communications, company meetings, annual award ceremonies, and employee and customer training sessions.
Our talented team of multi-skilled writers understands the complexities of the scientific principles, structure, language, and nuances that shape great speeches. There are vast differences in the skill sets required to write copy that will be read and copy that will be heard — skills our writers have mastered over the years.
The first step is working with you to understand your audience. This helps ensure we consistently use the appropriate language, tone, and vocabulary throughout your speech. Audience demographic information also tells us how formal, relaxed, or edgy we can be in our writing and what examples, analogies, jokes about current events, and stories are appropriate to incorporate.
Once we know your audience, our focus becomes capturing the essence, personality, and traits of the speaker. This step ensures that your speech is fluid and not artificial or robotic.
We understand the time constraints involved in delivering your speech. Whether you have 10 minutes or 60 to make your case or get your message across, every word counts. Our approach is to start your speech with a powerful opening that captivates your audience’s attention right off the bat. We avoid using filler words and redundancies, keeping your speech fresh, clear, and focused on the core messages you want to convey.
Our writers know that the structure of your speech will determine its success and impact. We ensure that every word, every sentence, and every paragraph flows logically. We vary sentence length to maintain a good cadence. And we use the active voice whenever we can.
Unless you are one of those lucky few with a photographic memory, it’s unlikely you will be able to memorize your entire speech and recite it verbatim. Tell us the format that works best for you — bullet point cue cards, a full script, or both — and that’s what we’ll deliver.
Whether you’re kicking off an awards ceremony, training your employees, or presenting your company’s product or service offerings to a potential client or investor, The Writers For Hire will work with you to create a clear and engaging presentation that’s tailored to the event and audience. We meticulously craft the following:
Communicating with employees, potential clients, and investors? Sharing the latest company news? Discussing new policies or strategies? We can help you write a memorable speech and create an accompanying PowerPoint presentation to convey your message.
Preparing for that make-or-break shareholder meeting to announce a merger? Need to write a stakeholder presentation and supplementary report? Our writers craft powerful and persuasive presentations geared to win over any audience, from top-level execs to your backbone employees.
Attending a trade show or industry event? We can help you write a keynote speech or an engaging product- or service-specific PowerPoint that will help position your company as an industry leader.
Sharing a heartfelt acceptance speech or opening and/or closing a conference session? We’ll help you ensure that you have the right words for the occasion.
You’ve made the shortlist with a potential new client and it’s time to impress them with an RFP response presentation. How do you make sure you shine? That’s where we come in. We have helped many vendors secure lucrative contracts by developing detailed, persuasive, and compelling RFP response presentations. We use the right words to help win you the right contracts.
Looking for a contractor to complete a new project? Need to describe the complexities of the project in detail in your RFP presentation? We’ll help you define the scope and objectives of the project, and we use clear and concise language that is easy to understand. We will even help you develop all your supporting documentation.
Need funding for your latest endeavor? You need more than just a standard sales pitch. We will work with you to create an inspiring, compelling speech or presentation that makes a strong case for investing in your product, service, or company.
Once we have crafted your speech or presentation, we work seamlessly with your design department or agency to map our words onto your PowerPoint slides, video scribe animation, or other presentation media.
