What an investor pitch deck should include for consumer brands
For consumer health, beauty and lifestyle brands, your deck needs more than features. I shape the story, my creative production team designs it to your brand.
You're raising for a consumer health, beauty or lifestyle brand. The deck has forty slides, but investors stop reading after slide six. The story that sets you apart, the belief system customers buy into, is still in your head, not on the page.
Your deck is a product tour, not a position. For consumer brands, investors bet on the brand, not the ingredients. If they can't repeat your one big idea after the first few slides, you've lost them. A deck that lists features and market size but skips the belief system fails because it sounds like every other brand in the category.
The scope depends on how much story shaping you need. If your position is clear in your head, it's about translating that into a tight narrative and a few clean slides. If the thinking isn't done, we start there, which takes more time. No matter the size, the output is a deck that feels like one brand, not a collage of templates.
This week, cut your deck to ten slides. If you can't tell the story in ten, you don't have a story. Then call me. I work with you to shape the narrative, and my team at SliiceXR designs the deck so every slide reflects your brand. The do-not-do: don't hire a generic designer who doesn't understand consumer brands.
You walk into the meeting with a deck that investors remember. Each slide reinforces one idea. The look and voice match your website, your social, your product. You're not just another brand with good ingredients. You're a belief system they can invest in.

Her professionalism and commitment to our product was refreshingly impressive. She delivered high levels of creativity and technical skills. Catherine was also responsible for creating our invitations and post cards for our fundraiser. She is fluent in all the appropriate graphic design software and has shown initiative in learning new skills and expanding her talents outside of traditional print-based media."
"Catherine is an extremely talented and creative designer and marketing professional. The projects we have worked on together have been productive, profitable and enjoyable. I would relish the opportunity to work with Catherine again."
"A few years ago I had the privilege of working with Catherine Oaks in the early stages of her Company, Image Base International. She is an inspiration. I love the way that she expresses her optimistic approach to any situation. Good or bad, Catherine just goes after it with a "Can Do" attitude. However, I think her greatest strength is her creativity. When we worked together, she always had an innovative, creative solution to any circumstance."
"Catherine has been a core part of LifeActive Bio for the past five years. From the beginning, I was impressed by her trustworthiness, creativity, discipline, and exceptional marketing expertise. She has brought strategic thinking and original ideas to our PR, marketing, campaign strategy, channel development, and client initiatives, with a unique ability to see challenges from multiple dimensions. Catherine is one of the most professional marketing visionaries I’ve encountered, and her creativity is beyond compare. Her passion for art is reflected in the originality she brings to everything she does. Catherine is an incredibly valued member of our team."
"Catherine built my website, then rebuilt it as my consulting thesis sharpened. Each time, she turned a moving target into a brand that showcases my work. She has a gift for taking an idea I only half articulate and giving it a clear, modern, confident form. What I did not expect was how much I would enjoy the process: she is generous with her talent, quick to champion my success as if it were her own, and somewhere along the way she went from collaborator to friend. Working with Catherine is one of the easiest and happiest yeses in my business."
"Catherine and the Team at SliiceXR are excellent to work with. They took the time to understand our needs, and execute our vision. Their constant support and patience in designing and adjusting a website that works for both our customers and employees has helped transform our business."
