With the New Year comes reflection and resolutions. Looking back on 2011, a year with natural disasters to political upheavals, I wanted to find inspiration for 2012 in uplifting stories.

Looking for ways to extend the reach of your next press release? Whether you’re announcing a new offering, customer win, or campaign launch, a PNR (Presentation News Release) can dramatically boost the awareness and engagement you generate with your creative press release.
A PNR is something we use at SlideRocket to great effect. It’s a slide presentation that delivers on the message and emotion of our announcements with an emphasis on visuals and music. It’s brief, it’s bold, and it’s the initial 1-2 punch that dramatically enhances our announcements.
7 examples of PNRs recently launched by SlideRocket:

We love to share presentation examples. From professional designers, to students, to small and large businesses, and non-profits, it’s helpful to see how others position their message, select their imagery and craft their slides. By providing a broad sampling of presentations we hope you’ll find inspiration from like-minded, like-budgeted presentation creators. Each of these presentation examples was discovered on Twitter, so be sure to share yours and perhaps we’ll feature it!
