White-Label Deck Production Retainer (7-12 days)
A productized offer that lets an agency produce and resell branded pitch decks, proposal documents, and diagram-heavy slides under its own name, using a template system plus an AI-assisted build step instead of a full-time designer. The agency keeps the client relationship and the margin; the platform stays invisible. Time: 7-12 days.

White-Label Deck Production Retainer (7-12 days)
A productized offer that lets an agency produce and resell branded pitch decks, proposal documents, and diagram-heavy slides under its own name, using a template system plus an AI-assisted build step instead of a full-time designer. The agency keeps the client relationship and the margin; the platform stays invisible.
- A signed scope covering deck volume per month (for example 6 to 15 decks) and revision rounds per deck; client brand assets in editable form (logo files, type stack, color tokens, approved imagery); one named client-side approver with authority to sign off on final slides; a chosen white-label or export-capable platform with the agency's domain and logo applied; a written AI disclosure and data-handling note for any client whose material is processed by a third-party model.
- 1.Inventory the client's last 10 decks and tag each by purpose: sales pitch, proposal, QBR, or internal
- 2.Record current turnaround time and who touches each deck before it ships
- 3.Confirm the approver, the escalation path, and the maximum revision rounds per deck
- 1.Extract the client's brand tokens (type, color, spacing, logo clear-space) into a single reference sheet
- 2.Map which slide types repeat across decks so they can become reusable masters
- 3.Flag any deck that carries regulated or confidential content and route it to a separate handling track
- 1.Build 8 to 12 master slides covering title, agenda, data, comparison, timeline, and closing
- 2.Apply the agency's own logo and domain to the platform so the client sees an agency-owned tool
- 3.Test export to editable PowerPoint and PDF and confirm fonts survive the round trip
- 1.Draft the intake form the client fills for each new deck request
- 2.Write the prompt or source-file pattern that turns intake answers into a first-draft slide set
- 3.Run one real deck end to end and time each stage
- 1.Fix layout breaks the first draft produced and log each fix as a template rule
- 2.Add a diagram step for architecture or process slides so visuals are generated from text source rather than drawn by hand
- 3.Confirm every exported file carries the agency's branding, not the platform's
- 1.Produce two live client decks through the full pipeline with no manual design intervention beyond review
- 2.Measure hours per deck against the pre-project baseline
- 3.Document the review checklist the account manager runs before sending anything to the client
- 1.Hand the intake form and master template to the delivery team with a one-page runbook
- 2.Set the monthly deck quota and the overage rate in the retainer terms
- 3.Schedule the 30-day review to compare actual turnaround against the committed SLA
Agencies bill presentation work at $150 to $400 per hour while the marginal cost of a templated deck drops to roughly one to two hours of review time, so a retainer priced at $2,000 to $6,000 per month can carry 70 percent or better gross margin. The margin holds because the client is buying the agency's brand and turnaround commitment, not a software seat, and the agency controls the intake, the review, and the final export. Charging per deck rather than per hour also removes the incentive to pad production time.
- A rebranded deck production environment running under the agency's domain and logo
- A master slide library of 8 to 12 reusable layouts with brand tokens applied
- A client-facing intake form and a written turnaround SLA
- A diagram generation step that converts text source into exportable SVG or PNG visuals
- A one-page delivery runbook covering intake, build, review, and export
Two client decks have been produced end to end through the pipeline, exported to editable PowerPoint and PDF with agency branding intact, and delivered inside the committed turnaround window without a designer touching the layout.
