Hi, everyone. Thanks for coming to this short presentation on our new product design. As you know, we've already redeveloped our 'Adventure' shampoo to make it more modern and appealing. And we've renamed it 'Adventure Tech'. Our market research established the target market as men in the 18–40 age range who like to be outdoors and also like technical gadgets, such as smartwatches, drones and things like that. We needed to create a bottle which appeals to that market.
So, today, I'm happy to unveil our new bottle design. As you can see, it's designed to look like a black metal drinking flask, with some digital features printed on it.
I'd like to talk you through the following three points: the key features, sizing and our timeline for production.
Firstly, you'll notice it has an ergonomic design. That means it fits smoothly into your hand and can be easily opened and squeezed using one hand. And, it looks like a flask you might use when hiking outdoors. The imitation digital displays are designed to remind the user of other tech devices they may have, such as a smartwatch or smart displays in their home.
I'd now like to tell you about the sizes. It comes in two sizes: the regular size and a small travel size. The travel size is the same type of design – a flask, also with imitation digital displays on the bottle. We were thinking of starting with one and following with the travel-size in a few months, but we've worked hard and both are ready now.
Finally, I'm going to talk to you about our timeline for production. You've probably heard that we're launching in two months. In preparation for that, we're starting the marketing campaign next month. You can see the complete overview of all phases in this Gantt chart.
In summary, the bottle's been designed for men who like adventure and technology, and it comes in two sizes. The marketing campaign is starting next month and we're launching the product in two months.
OK. So, any questions? Feel free to also email me for further information in case we run out of time.
Honestly, i don't remember perfectly when but thinking better i believe that the last one has been made during one of my last job's interview. During that company's HR asked me a short presentation about myself.
The last time I had to give a presentation was in my English business class at UQ College in Australia. I remember clearly because I was quite nervous. It was my first English presentation, It was related to a health insurance company. In the end, it was such a great and dynamic presentation, we all felt confident.
The last time I had to give a presentation was a week ago. It was about fashion in the Belle Époque and my group and I broke it down into topics so every member would contribute. I must confess that I prefer to work individually rather than on a group at times because it's less stressful and more organized. But the presentation went well and we managed to achieve a high score.
Last year, I delivered an online training presentation from Dubai, aimed at training teachers on the new interactive lesson format. Around 100 teachers attended the session.
The last time I had to give a presentation was in September of last year, during my final project at Law University.
It was about AI in the workplace and its impact on people.
When I had to give the presentation, I was very nervous, but the presentation went very well; I got the highest grade.
The last presentation I gave was a few weeks ago, back when I was a medical student. I presented it during the morning meeting of physicians at the hospital where I was working at the time.
The presentation was about acute kidney injury, an acute condition requiring immediate medical intervention. I explained to my colleagues its etiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management.
It went very well. I had the pleasure of presenting it in front of the head of the department, who complimented my presentation. Many colleagues also commented positively on my public speaking skills.
The last presentation was from 2 months ago, and it was about protecting personal data, and the other one was about my empirical research about alienation and its impact on international students, I think it was good enough because it was my first time making a presentation in English and answer questions so I was a little pet nervous, but now I think it will be good because I started to work on my English.
The last time I had to give a presentation was three months ago. It was about Design and Prototyping, for a course that is part of a Diploma in Marketing. This presentation was in a group and we explained the different design methods that exist to develop the project, as well as explaining their benefits and how they help us to structure and obtain more information before prototyping. Prior to the presentation, with my group we organized our time and divided the topics for each of us and then we practiced together until we were ready. Finally the presentation was a success.
Very nice! It sounds like you delivered a successful and well-rounded presentation. Organizing your time, dividing the topics, and then practicing together beforehand is definitely key to success—especially in group presentations. It's also great that you didn’t just explain the design methods, but also clarified their benefits and how they help facilitate the prototyping process. That shows a deep understanding of the topic and an ability to communicate information effectively. Well done! Do you enjoy this kind of presentation, or do you prefer working individually?
