After working with the award-winning Sales Graphics design team and using CustomShow to create their successful Digital Roadshow Presentation in 2009, Bravo chose to roll out CustomShow to their entire sales team in 2010. Now the Bravo account executives can customize their presentations quickly and easily, making their Upfront presentations even more targeted, more engaging, and more effective than ever.

Bravo also turned to Sales Graphics to create their 2010 Upfront Presentation. Designed to match Bravo’s new on-air branding, the 2010 Bravo Upfront is a rich and engaging cinematic experience that takes full advantage of the Sales Graphics design team’s video and Flash expertise.

Finally, Sales Graphics even helped Bravo invite clients to their Upfront Party by creating an interactive Flash email that let people engage with the Bravo brand and find out more about the event.

With CustomShow, Sales Graphics’ world-class designs, and an interactive email invitation, Bravo is getting a great start in 2010!

BusinessWeek contributor and communications coach Carmine Gallo has a interesting article and book about how Steve Jobs creates such effective and engaging presentations.

And to help launch this First Annual Origins Issue, Scientific American teamed up with Sales Graphics’ DesignStudio to ask some experts on curiosity how to make this issue as interesting and exciting as possible.
