Proposals are transaction media, meaning they're compilations of documentation supporting an idea to be acted upon. A proposal seeking $100,000 from investors to launch a new business or a $155,000,000 annual operations program for the world's largest office building.

Proposals may be simple or complex and follow a format determined by the audience. Proposals may be embodied in simple customized binders with supporting documentation to be presented at school board meetings or elaborate collections of written, multimedia and computerized documentation filling two or three volumes to be studied by decision makers and committees.

Proposals may be requested by the receiving party or offered by the proposing party, but in either situation, a proposal assumes an importance and power in and of itself it has the ability to power and magnify an idea in the minds of decision-makers to insure success.

Organizing and delivering messages to customers, distributors, and government audiences with professionalism can provide a company with a competitive advantage, faster decision-making and improved sales. Paine's extensive experience in presentations has proven this over and over again.

At the request of our clients seventeen years ago, Paine's creative directors work with a client to develop presentation content, then direct Paine's staff of designers and producers to output in any and all media.

Presentations range from simple flipcharts, to impressive computer projections, to complex multimedia events, of which some may be in production for 6 months or more and contain examples of all media.

Presentations may be delivered by live presenters or be completely self-delivering on a CD, DVD or the Web.
