RENS Original approached us with a presentation challenge that was anything but ordinary. Their mission? To create a brand deck that could explain—clearly and convincingly—why their coffee-based sneakers aren’t just eco-friendly, but also culturally future-proof. This wasn’t just about product features. It was about showing how sustainability and digital fashion can live side by side in both the physical and virtual worlds.
We took on the full creative direction for the presentation. From story structure to visual storytelling, every slide was built to do one thing: make people care about what RENS is doing—and get excited about where they’re going.
The Ask
RENS makes performance sneakers using coffee waste and recycled PET plastic. That alone is a conversation starter. But their bigger goal is to bring sustainable streetwear—like parachute pants and other bold designs—to both mass-market consumers and avatar-based communities in the Metaverse.
They wanted a deck that could do two things:
- Explain the science and sustainability behind their materials.
- Show how their brand is crossing into digital spaces with vision, not hype.
The Challenge
It wasn’t just about building a presentation that looked clean. The information had to land with different types of audiences—investors, fashion insiders, digital culture folks, and maybe even someone who’s hearing about the brand for the first time.
We had to:
- Break down a complex product story into bite-sized, visual moments.
- Give the business case behind why digital fashion isn’t just a trend—it’s a growth channel.
- Make sure every slide supported RENS’ brand as both innovative and credible.
What We Delivered
We built a cohesive, high-impact PowerPoint deck that pulled from editorial-style visuals, startup storytelling, and investor-focused structure. The final result gave RENS a tool that helped them pitch, educate, and inspire—all in one go.
Here’s how we broke it down:
Slide Flow Strategy
We started by organizing the flow into five main acts:
- The Problem: Why fast fashion and synthetic materials are creating massive waste.
- The Product: What makes RENS’ sneakers different—from the coffee grounds to the tech.
- The Vision: Where RENS is going, including future collections and Metaverse integration.
- The Traction: Metrics, press, and community stories that prove people are paying attention.
- The Ask / Opportunity: What support RENS is seeking and how others can get involved.
This helped us balance emotional appeal (the problem and vision) with hard proof (traction and strategy).
Visual Style
We leaned into a clean, streetwear-inspired aesthetic. Think minimal layout, bold typography, and layered graphics. We wanted the deck to reflect RENS' brand ethos: rooted in culture, conscious in design.
To communicate both the sustainability angle and tech-forward thinking, we used:
- Earth-toned gradients to hint at organic materials
- Futuristic overlays to hint at digital fashion
- Bold infographics for material breakdowns and performance data
Motion and Animations
Subtle transitions helped move the story along without feeling gimmicky. We used dynamic entrance effects for statistics, layered object fades for layered storytelling, and parallax-inspired visuals where it made sense.
No dizzying animations—just storytelling that moved with rhythm.
Tone and Copy
The copy wasn’t trying to be cute or fluffy. It was direct, modern, and easy to understand. We avoided buzzwords and kept the voice confident, with enough personality to feel human.
Example:
“We turned 21 cups of coffee waste into one high-performance sneaker. Here’s how.”
It didn’t just say what RENS does—it made people care about it.
Going Beyond the Physical Product
A big part of the deck focused on what’s next: how RENS is extending its product line to digital fashion in the Metaverse. That’s a space filled with noise, but RENS isn’t approaching it as a gimmick.
We positioned this section around strategy, not spectacle:
- Fashion NFTs: The plan to create limited-edition wearables for avatars and digital platforms.
- Community-first launches: Emphasis on co-creation and fan-led releases.
- Brand collaborations: Highlighting potential crossovers with crypto-native brands and creators.
Instead of shouting “we’re doing NFTs,” the slides unpacked the why. It gave viewers a reason to believe this wasn’t just a one-off campaign—it was the beginning of a real bridge between sustainability and digital identity.
Client Outcome
The final presentation was met with a big thumbs-up from RENS. It helped them solidify their story and communicate their long-term value beyond just product specs.
This wasn’t just another investor deck—it became their go-to storytelling tool for partnerships, media, and internal alignment.
Direct wins they shared with us after the project:
- Clearer investor conversations
- A presentation that matched their product quality
- Confidence in pitching both sustainable fashion and their Metaverse play without losing anyone along the way
Why This Project Matters
More brands are trying to tell complex stories across both physical and digital landscapes. But most decks either lean too hard into numbers or get lost in branding fluff. RENS gave us the opportunity to strike the right balance.
It also reflects a bigger trend: audiences expect sustainability, innovation, and culture to show up in the same conversation. If you're building a future-forward brand and your deck doesn’t reflect that? You’ll get left behind.
