CDW

Designing a New Business Pitch Deck to online tech store CDW

In partnership with Ogilvy

Ogilvy needed a high-impact deck that could confidently communicate the agency’s multi-practice capabilities while resonating with CDW’s specific B2B context.

The Ask

This included showcasing:• Ogilvy’s five business units • Their unified yet modular service model • Sector-specific B2B experience • Global scale and tech fluency • All within a cohesive, emotionally intelligent narrative that emphasized creative firepower and strategic depth.

The Challenge

  • The deck needed to speak to both marketing and procurement stakeholders — marrying creativity with business rigor
  • CDW operates in a complex, solution-driven B2B space, requiring more than flashy visuals — every slide had to earn its place
  • Internal stakeholders at Ogilvy wanted to present both horizontal integration and vertical expertise without overwhelming the client

The Solution

  • Built narrative around “impact happens at the intersection,” Ogilvy’s core idea
  • Highlighted five verticals with distinct but connected design blocks
  • Designed modular layouts to navigate seamlessly across disciplines
  • Added B2B proof points with logos, maps, and sector casework
  • Kept storytelling human, distilling complexity into plain, relatable themes

The Outcome

  • The deck served as the anchor narrative for Ogilvy’s relationship-building with CDW and aligned all practice leads under a single storytelling framework.
  • Design and story choices made the agency’s breadth feel empowering, not overwhelming.
  • Helped reinforce Ogilvy’s position as a modern, tech-competent creative powerhouse with depth in B2B.
