Capital raise or strategic partnership: Post Series A opportunity.

InContext is a leader and pioneer in building virtual shopping environments, allowing teams to dream up ideas, make decisions and roll out activations quickly and at lower costs. With this technology a retail category manager can simulate merchandising scenarios with incredible accuracy, faster test times and fewer dollars invested.

InContext came to Presentation Partners after a successful round of Series A funding. This led to a business-model pivot which changed the narrative around revenue-growth metrics.

Distance not only gives nostalgia, but perspective, and maybe objectivity.

Font size, color and position of copy all play an important role in allowing the reader to quickly engage.

Bringing EQ & IQ into "The Pivot"

The client’s business model pivot was certain to raise a few investor eyebrows. It had to be explained in a succinct, EQ-based, memorable way. “An unfolding drama of growth, in three acts.” Then the following IQ-based statements had to validate the strategy and that this company was not re-inventing the wheel with the pivot model.

Give Data a Soul

Metrics can be complicated. Here we needed to illustrate that, over a three-year period, the effects of the business-model pivot, the trending nature, and the cash flow improvements, as well as the continued ascension of recognized onboarded clients... all in one visual.
