Who is Rexi Media best for?

We are a fit for companies that need strategic thinking, clear storytelling, strong visuals, and a collaborative partner who can help shape the material from concept through final delivery.
Who is the founder of Rexi Media?
Danielle Sabaris founded Rexi Media with a simple but powerful belief: better communication can create positive transformation.
Before starting Rexi Media, Danielle held business development roles at Adobe, where she worked with Adobe Connect and saw firsthand how companies were using presentation technology to reach, teach, sell, and align people at scale. She also saw what was missing. Too many organizations had strong ideas, but struggled to turn those ideas into presentations and learning materials that were clear, engaging, and built for distracted modern audiences.
Based in San Francisco, at the center of the technology world, Danielle launched Rexi Media to solve that problem. More than 18 years later, Rexi Media has become a trusted strategic design partner for companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 brands.
Under Danielle’s leadership, Rexi Media helps executives, founders, People Teams, Sales Teams, and enterprise organizations transform complex information into clear, compelling presentations and learning experiences for their most important business moments.
What is the process of working with Rexi Media like?
Most projects begin with a discovery and strategy phase to understand the audience, goals, message, content, and timeline. From there, Rexi Media helps shape the structure, develop the visual direction, design the materials, refine the content, and prepare the final files for use.
Do we need to have our content finalized before working with Rexi Media?
No, even if the concept is still in its early discovery phase, we can help organize your brainstorming into concrete messaging and design. If the content is mostly complete, we can focus on story, visual structure, design, and polish.
Can Rexi Media help with the story, or only the design?
Rexi Media can help with both. Many projects involve clarifying the narrative, restructuring the flow, tightening the message, and then translating that strategy into a visually compelling deck or learning experience.
Does Rexi Media only design slides?
No. Slide design is one part of the work, but Rexi Media also supports messaging, presentation structure, visual storytelling, learning design, training materials, Articulate development, and broader communication systems, as well as AI design work.
Does Rexi Media work with existing brand guidelines?
Yes. Rexi Media has specific expertise in design within existing brand systems. We can also expand on a brand’s design system for presentation and learning environments. The goal is to make the final materials feel polished, consistent, and appropriate for the audience.
Why work with Rexi Media to create Articulate learning modules?
Rexi Media brings more than 18 years of experience creating enterprise learning experiences that are clear, engaging, and built to sustain learners’ attention. We combine instructional design thinking with high-end visual design to create fully branded Articulate Storyline and Rise courses. Our proven process also helps teams organize and reuse branded assets across future courses, creating greater consistency and efficiency over time.
What does it cost to work with Rexi Media?
Pricing depends on the scope, timeline, level of strategy needed, and type of deliverable. A focused deck refresh will be priced differently from a full keynote that requires messaging work, investor presentation, or enterprise learning program. Rexi Media provides custom proposals based on the needs of each project.
How long does a typical project take?
Timelines vary by project. A focused deck update may take a shorter sprint, while a strategic keynote often takes from six to eight weeks. Investor decks can be done on a tight timeline, as needed, within two weeks. Learning modules require, on average, two to four weeks, depending on the need for simulations. Rexi Media can support urgent deadlines when the scope and timing allow.
Can Rexi Media work on tight deadlines?
Yes, depending on availability and scope. Rexi Media often supports high-stakes business moments with fixed deadlines, including events, pitches, launches, investor meetings, and executive presentations. Short-notice or tight-turnaround projects may require off-hours, weekend, or holiday work for the Rexi Media team, which will be included in the total price.
How does Rexi Media leverage AI?
Rexi Media uses AI as a support tool to improve speed, exploration, organization, and creative development, especially during early discovery and ideation. But AI is only one part of the process. Rexi Media’s team brings the strategy, judgment, storytelling expertise, design experience, and business context needed to understand what a high-stakes communication moment actually requires.
Rexi Media also offers AI design consulting for companies looking to refresh their existing stock photography and branding materials. We train companies on best practices for using AI tools to update their existing assets and get the most out of them. Additionally, we can update these assets for you, using our AI tools.
Why can’t I just make a deck myself using an AI tool?
You can, but for the highest-stakes moments that matter the most, you’ll get more from working with Rexi Media. AI tools can help generate a starting point, but they usually cannot solve the harder problems: what to say, what to leave out, how to structure the story, how to make complex information understandable, and how to design for a specific audience or high-stakes moment. Rexi Media brings the human judgment, strategy, and polish that AI tools alone cannot provide.
What makes Rexi Media different from working with a freelance designer?
Rexi Media is not just a production resource. The work combines strategy, storytelling, design, and learning expertise. Rexi Media brings expertise from 18+ years of working with Fortune 500 companies to shape the content, improve the flow, create a visual system, and deliver materials that produce results.
What does a keynote project involve?
Keynote projects are the most involved work Rexi Media does. They typically run over several weeks and include discovery, narrative structure, visual design, and support through rehearsals and show day. The client brings brand assets, content, and goals. Rexi Media brings the story structure, the visual system, and the production work that gets it on stage.
What does the keynote process look like?
It's a partnership. You bring the brand and the message; we bring the visual language, the slides, and the show.
We start once the narrative is settled. From your brand guidelines, event theme, and story, we build an original visual identity for the keynote — including custom characters and a design direction unique to the moment. Design doesn't wait on every last word, though: we visualize key messages while copy is still being refined, so you can see the shape of the keynote early.
Working With A Presentation Design Agency
Why should we hire a presentation design agency?
Companies hire presentation design agencies when the stakes are too high for a generic deck. An agency like Rexi Media can help clarify the message, structure the story, improve visual communication, and create materials that make the presenter or team look prepared, credible, and polished.
What does a presentation design agency do?
A presentation design agency helps turn ideas, information, and business goals into clear, compelling presentations. That can include story development, slide structure, visual design, data visualization, template creation, speaker support, and final production.
A company should bring in an agency when a presentation needs to persuade, align, teach, sell, raise money, launch something, or represent the company at a high level. This includes investor meetings, sales opportunities, conferences, board meetings, internal strategy rollouts, and training programs.
What makes a good presentation?
A good presentation is clear, structured, visually intentional, audience-aware, and easy to follow. It does not overwhelm people with information. It guides them through the right story and helps them understand what matters.
Can a better deck really change the outcome of a meeting?
Yes, absolutely. A better deck cannot replace a weak business case, but it can make a strong case much easier to understand. The right presentation, like the ones we create here at Rexi Media, can help teams win buy-in, secure funding, close deals, train employees, and align stakeholders.
Why do internal teams struggle with presentations?
Internal teams often have to stop work on critical projects to build decks for launches, meetings, pitches, trainings, and executive updates. Even when they know the material well, turning it into a clear, polished presentation takes time, strategic distance, and design expertise.
Rexi Media acts as an external senior partner, giving teams the structure, storytelling, and design support they need without draining internal bandwidth or pulling people away from higher-priority work.
Is presentation design only for big companies?
No, not at all. Presentation design is valuable for any company or team with an important message to communicate. Startups, nonprofits, agencies, founders, and growing companies can all benefit from stronger presentation strategy and design.
Enterprise Learning & Branded Articulate Experiences
How does Rexi Media create branded learning experiences in Articulate?
Rexi Media goes beyond standard Articulate templates to create learning experiences that reflect your company’s visual identity, voice, and brand standards. The result feels like a natural extension of your organization rather than an off-the-shelf training module.
Can Rexi Media customize an existing Articulate course?
Yes. Rexi Media can redesign and refine existing courses to improve their visual consistency, clarity, usability, and overall learner experience. This can include updating layouts, graphics, interactions, navigation, and branded elements without rebuilding the entire course from scratch.
What types of enterprise learning content can Rexi Media create?
Rexi Media supports a wide range of learning and training needs, including employee onboarding, leadership development, sales enablement, product education, compliance training, and internal communications. Each experience is shaped around the audience, learning goals, and business context.
Does Rexi Media work with our internal learning and development team?
Yes. Rexi Media can work as an external senior partner to internal learning, marketing, or communications teams. We help shape the story, organize complex information, and manage the design and development work so internal teams can stay focused on their highest-priority initiatives.
Will the final learning experience work across different devices?
Rexi Media designs with usability and consistency in mind across desktop, tablet, and mobile environments. We also account for practical considerations such as navigation, readability, accessibility, and how the course will function within your existing learning management system.
