What Presentation Partners does

Presentation Partners is an Atlanta-based boutique storytelling agency founded in 2006 that serves Fortune 500 and enterprise clients through a proprietary persuasion methodology. The firm has delivered 1,500+ stories to 600+ clients, influencing over 1 million presentations across technology, consumer goods, financial services, healthcare, entertainment, automotive, and manufacturing. Named clients include Accenture, Red Bull, Amazon Fashion, Quest Diagnostics, PayPal, Autodesk, LG, Live Nation, PBS, NetApp, International Paper, Titleist, Fiserv, Viome, Virgin Pulse, and Borg Warner.

The firm's core intellectual property is the "Neuroscience of Persuasion" framework, trademarked as "NoP" / NoPursuit in 2014, which it positions as a biological model for converting complex business information into persuasive narratives. Service tiers are explicitly priced: a $5,000 Story Consultation, an $18,000 Custom Story Build, a $40,000 Story Laboratory, and a $125,000–$150,000 Story Reputation engagement. In 2021 the firm extended its methodology into the LiftEQ educational program, a recurring-revenue training offering co-developed with a strategic partner. Additional intellectual-property recognition includes the HERMES Platinum Award and multiple other industry creative awards.

Presentation Partners has operated as a virtual agency since 2014 with a small team of 11–50 "master strategists, storytellers, and visual artists." Founder Jon Newsome leads client engagements directly, embedding partner-level expertise into every deliverable. The go-to-market is primarily content-led — webinars, YouTube, whitepapers, and LinkedIn — supplemented by direct outreach and an outsourced inbound lead-generation partnership with WithFuel. The firm established a formal Board of Directors in 2019, marking a transition from purely founder-led governance. The business model is project-based consulting with no disclosed recurring SaaS, marketplace, or licensing revenue.

Direct peers

• Duarte: Duarte is a presentation design and storytelling consulting firm that helps enterprises craft persuasive narratives, keynotes, and corporate communications. It is the most direct competitor to Presentation Partners, with a similar methodology-driven, premium-priced service offering targeting Fortune 500 clients.

Others

• TED Conferences: TED Conferences is a global media and events organization built around ideas and storytelling. It is thematically linked to Presentation Partners' narrative focus and offers TED Master Class training, but does not provide bespoke enterprise storytelling consulting services.
• The Moth: The Moth is a storytelling organization that produces live storytelling events, workshops, and educational content. It is thematically related to Presentation Partners' storytelling focus but operates a community/event model rather than an enterprise consulting practice.
• Second City: Second City is a comedy and improvisation training organization that teaches storytelling, communication, and performance skills to corporate teams. It is an adjacent training provider that overlaps with Presentation Partners' LiftEQ educational offering but through a different methodology.

Broad incumbents

• Ogilvy: Ogilvy is a global advertising, PR, and communications agency that provides brand storytelling, corporate communications, and creative campaigns to enterprise clients. It overlaps with Presentation Partners' brand elevation and video/branding work, though as a full-service agency with a much broader portfolio.
• Edelman: Edelman is a global public relations and communications firm that advises enterprises on brand reputation, executive communications, and corporate storytelling at scale. It is comparable on the brand reputation and thought leadership dimensions of Presentation Partners' Story Reputation tier, though as a much larger incumbent.
• McKinsey & Company: McKinsey is a global management consulting firm that supports Fortune 500 clients on strategy, organizational design, and executive communications. It is comparable on the consultative, partner-led enterprise engagement model but operates at vastly larger scale with a broader service portfolio.
• Burson: Burson is a global communications and public relations firm specializing in corporate reputation, executive communications, and strategic narrative work. It overlaps with Presentation Partners' brand reputation and investor relations service lines, though at a much larger scale and broader capability set.

It is an emerging alternative to bespoke storytelling consulting, enabling in-house teams to produce presentations without engaging a firm like Presentation Partners.
• Pitch: Pitch is a presentation collaboration platform for teams that produces modern, design-forward decks. It competes with Presentation Partners at the lower-value end of the deck-creation workflow, particularly for in-house teams producing sales and investor presentations.
