“I wanted to share feedback with you from Melissa at Trademark Cosmetics. She LOVES the PowerPoint template. Said it was so easy to follow and add in her content. She populated it and shared with CEO who complicated the clean look and new brand template. Said he was very pleased with the deck.
Thank you for turning out such great work so quickly!”
