Do you need more reasons to create dynamic content? Well: 90% of the information we assimilate comes through sight, and we retain 42% more information when the content is moving. What you read: interactivity and animation can turn the most boring content into something fun. At Genially, we use AI (Awesome Interactivity) in all our designs, so you can level up with interactivity and turn your content into something that adds value and engages. Visual content is a cross-cutting, universal language, like music. We are capable of understanding images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.
Down with boring content in your presentation: make it entertaining
You can create an outline to synthesize the content and use words that stick in your audience's mind.
If you are going to present live, we recommend that you train your voice and practice:The best improvisation is always the one that is most rehearsed!
Show enthusiasm, flash a smile, and maintain eye contact with your audience: 'The eyes, chico. They never lie'. Leave them speechless.
Insert a great video for your presentation
And use this space to describe it. Multimedia content is essential in a presentation to leave everyone speechless. Additionally, this will help you synthesize the content and entertain your audience.
Use images in your presentation
- They help break the monotony
- They illustrate what you want to convey
- They are a support to add additional info
If you want to provide additional information or develop the content in more detail, you can do so through your oral presentation. We recommend that you train your voice and practice: the best improvisation is always the most prepared! Disciplines such as Visual Thinking facilitate taking visually rich notes through the use of images, graphics, infographics, and simple drawings. Go for it!

Animate your contentand take it to the next level
Animation adds value to our content by helping us capture attention, organize ideas, and make our audience remember the content.
Visual accompaniment manages to convince 67% of the audience

Narrative Beings
Visual Beings
We tell thousands and thousands of stories. ⅔ of our conversations are stories.
We are capable of understanding images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.
Digital Beings
Social Beings
We avoid being part of the content saturation in the digital world.
We need to interact with each other. We learn collaboratively.
