Background

APM (Agile Project Management) is a Queensland-based project management consultancy working across water infrastructure, transport, resources, government, defence and commercial projects. Their creative agency had just developed a new brand look, which raised the question that always follows a rebrand: how does this actually work in Word and PowerPoint?

Which is where we come in. APM needed the concept translated into templates their teams could use every day without a designer looking over their shoulder. It also had to flex across the eight divisions within the business, each with its own colour identity, all still recognisably APM.

What we did

Starting from the agency's concept, we rolled the design out across a 100+ slide PowerPoint template and a 55+ page Word template, then built eight colour themes so any deck or document can be switched to the right division in a click. Same layouts, same structure, different colourway.

The PowerPoint included a multitude of layouts, with a pre-styled chart library and icon sets and on top of including the usual content slides, we also created layouts for the way APM actually reports - organisational structures, project status updates, resourcing summaries, design review processes and package interfaces.

The Word template covers the full document journey, from cover options and section dividers through to internal pages, appendices and back pages, so reports and proposals hold together from front to back.

In addition, we converted APM's existing slide library into the new brand, transforming over 1,200 animated slides of accumulated diagrams, dashboards, timelines and infographics.

The result

APM now has a suite of templates that behave themselves, all eight divisions covered by one design system, and a slide library that's ready to go.

The team's reaction was the one we like best: these templates are going to make producing reports and presentations so much quicker and easier.

Which is the whole point, really.

These templates are going to make producing reports and presentations so much quicker and easier!
