Completely up to you. Recent work, your best work from years ago, work that tells a great story—whatever you're excited to share.

How to Present

Also up to you. Make it as fun or as formal as feels right for your work and your style. The goal is to showcase what makes your agency great.

Tips for Success

Presenting

  • Start strong — lead with your most compelling work
  • Tell the story — brief context helps people appreciate the work
  • Show, don't tell — let the work speak
  • End with impact — finish with something memorable

Technical

  • We prefer Keynote, but Google Slides and Canva work
  • Use large, readable fonts
  • Include video files within your presentation
  • Have a backup plan if tech fails (rare, but happens)

Everyone in the room is indie—or a fan of indies. You're among friends.
