Elevating Sculpt Partners’ documents through PowerPoint design and storytelling
January 14, 2025 | 4 min read
The situation
Sculpt Partners is an advisory firm that works to transform organisations into net positive businesses. Its clients include public-listed corporations, social ventures/non-profits, and sustainable, responsible and impact investors that aspire to solve the planet’s most pressing challenges.
Kumar Subramanian, Founding Partner & MD, Sculpt Partners, comes with a 25+ years of advisory experience across Corporate Governance, Finance, Sourcing and Human Resources. Having worked with entities such as Stern Stewart & Co, the Everest Group and Aon, when it was time for Kumar to start Sculpt, he felt that the organization was missing the ability to create visually impactful business documentation.
As it geared up to help changemakers through its advisory competencies, it needed support in:
- Streamlining internal presentation production while ensuring consistent branding and maintaining efficiency
- Designing their sales enablement documents such as sales pitch, service decks, sale sheet, one-pagers, etc.
- Transforming research findings into intuitive, visually compelling reports that resonated with diverse audiences.
- Help its clients better communicate their sustainability vision, goals and performance through a combination of data, anecdotes and narratives
The immediate requirement was to collaborate on brainstorming ideas and executing impactful sales and business documents, not only for Sculpt’s internal use but also for its clients.
Given Qcept’s experience in supporting advisory firms with their design and presentation needs, it was well-positioned to meet Sculpt’s requirements head-on.
The Qcept approach
As a principle, we started by understanding the brand’s core identity and the challenges it seeks to address for its clients. Sculpt’s strong focus on sustainability and impact-driven initiatives inspired us to develop document assets that not only reflected its values but also effectively amplified its story.
Once we understood Sculpt’s vision and goals, we implemented the following:
- Corporate PowerPoint template: We created a brand-aligned PowerPoint template that ensured visual consistency and streamlined the presentation process. Designed for ease of use, this template empowered Sculpt’s team to independently create professional, impactful documents quickly and efficiently.
- Research publication and thought leadership design: We transformed complex research insights into visually compelling and reader-friendly publications, making key takeaways intuitive and engaging.
- Storytelling as strategy: Leveraging our experience with startups and advisory firms, we introduced strategic storytelling to structure Sculpt’s sales and business collaterals, delivering narratives that resonate.

Our expertise helped Sculpt achieve exactly what they needed, and they decided to use it to create an edge for themselves.
- Reliable brainstorming partner: Sculpt found a trusted collaborator in Qcept, providing valuable input to refine ideas and turn them into impactful deliverables. Our partnership ensured high-impact outcomes with every project.
- Flexible collaboration: Sculpt benefited from the flexibility of working with Qcept on demand, eliminating the need for an in-house design team and avoiding fixed monthly expenses.
- Access to diverse skill sets: Sculpt leveraged Qcept’s expertise across multiple domains, including presentation design, storytelling, visual communication, and print media design. They gained access to a versatile team comprising strategists, presentation specialists, visual designers, and analysts.
As an advisory firm, Sculpt Partners features our intellectual property and thought leadership in the form of solution showcase sheets, research reports and various other client deliverables. In Qcept, we found a capable and reliable partner who can transform our ideas into an intelligible output. Nitin and the team truly understand what effective storytelling means. They share the same values of integrity and client orientation that we strive to bring forth to our client relationships. I would recommend Qcept to all firms without any hesitation.
