1. Fairchild Semiconductor PowerPoint Best Practices
A guide to help you implement the corporate template and create impactful presentations.
June 15, 2012

2. Strategic Intent
Understand/articulate audience's challenges and present Fairchild solutions
Consider specific audiences' messaging needs (design engineers versus CTOs)
Establish objectives before creating presentation to help organize and measure success
Since audience engagement is key, presentation should facilitate interaction when appropriate

3. Content Organization
Structure presentation with an introduction, supporting details (stats, benchmarks, charts, market analysis, etc.) and end on a clear conclusion/call to action
Include agenda to provide audience with presentation roadmap
Combine text with visuals; the image must support main message of slide
Assume presentation length of minutes (or as indicated by agenda or conference schedule)

4. Design Guidelines
To ensure corporate consistency for branding, only use the Fairchild PowerPoint template
When creating visuals, utilize color palette provided
Avoid any images or elements that do not directly communicate message
Use only Fairchild purchased images (do not download images off the internet as there may be usage rights violation)
Keep transitions and animation simple

5. Copy Guidelines
Short, powerful headlines should summarize slide information
Make clear and direct statements in bulleted format; no complete sentences
Limit the number of words in bullets (no more than two lines per bullet)
Depending upon supporting visual elements, no more than 10 bullets per slide
Keep in mind if slide is becoming too lengthy, move some text to your speaker notes

6. Internal Version
We created an internal version of the template to reduce the number of slide options and provide greater flexibility
Acceptable to exceed number of bullets and text on a single slide
Guidelines for internal usage are more flexible
We also simplified the title slide to reduce file size and print costs (ink)
Please avoid printing presentations for internal audience when possible
