EJ Pitch Review- Round 4

See the News
Pros:
  • Slide 2: thoroughly, well-explained, shows potential for growth.
  • Slide 6: love the idea of an end-of-year print collector's edition.
  • Slide 10: I like that one of your future goals is "changing multimedia in journalism." Dream big!
Cons:
  • Slide 3: does the font change or just get bigger?
  • Typos! Slide 5: highlights
  • Slide 8: Large news sources like the Globe and the Herald aren't competition? They take photos as well.
Overall I though your PP was nicely presented with a simple and clear background that conveys a solid idea.

The News Stand 
Pros:
  • Background: love the color blocking.
  • Slide 6: great graphics and layout, just make sure you don't cover any text.
  • Slide 8: I like the tangible quality of this. It adds variety and mixes up the textual slide patter.
  • Slide 10: I don't think I even have to say why this is on the "pro" list.
Cons:
  • Title Slide: I think I need some explanation to understand your company name.
  • Overall Slides: good info, but way too wordy. Use bullet points and voice the rest during your pitch
  • Slide 7: teeny, tiny font.
I enjoyed the color scheme and general content of the PP, but it looked a bit cluttered at times. Also, you end with a solid "next step" slide, but I think getting a bit inspiration could work.

Well Now
Pros:
  • Slide titles: your headings really pop.
  • Slide 2: I like that you told us what you're all about right away.
  • Slide 3: shows the market opening does exist and why it needs to be filled.
  • Slide 7: the conferences and workshops sound really cool. Would the field professionals be contributors to Well Now?
Cons:
  • Slide 9: as a reader of Self Magazine, I'm not fully convinced that Well Now is different. Can you expand?
I liked your PP very much! It was informative and interesting and most of the questions I had coming in were promptly answered.

Choice News
Pros:
  • Slide 2: very enticing introduction to your product.
  • Slide 10: citing experts gives you credibility.
  • Presentation: very animated in your text; keeps the audience engaged.
Cons:
  • Title slide: lovely background, but the words are a bit too small.
  • Spacing: careful on the spacing- some slides looked squished and other had too much white blank.
  • Typos! Slide 6: 1 one these choices.
  • Maybe one too many ! in there. Reserve for the big moments!
It looks like your site would appeal to news junkies, historians, fiction writers, and conspiracy enthusiasts. Nice range! And i really like your idea. I would definitely check this out.
