I hate powerpoint.
Hate it, hate it, hate it.
I hate it even more when it forces me to bend my strategic thinking to it's slide-based formatting will.
There is not one element of thought that can be effectively communicated using powerpoint.
It does more damage than good in client presentations with the constant need to skip forwards and back and for your audience to hold in their memory slide 7 when you're talking on slide 11...disaster.
So thank god we now have Prezi
By using Prezi you are no longer confined to how much content you can fit on a slide, you now have an unlimited canvas on which to tell your story with the ability to look at the top line and to zoom into the detail as and when you require it. Genius.
You can input any form of media from text, images and videos etc...
Best of all, it’s pretty simple to use, is free (online) for the basic version but even the ‘pro’ version is still only $159 per year AND you can even print out an A1 ‘strategy on a page’ if necessary (clients love that stuff)
Check out a demo video here = awesome:

It's a lot of work to put one together though, and the few presentations I've seen utilising it have had way too much animation!

That's true to an extent, I think you need to spend the time to put it together properly and cut down on the animations.
I guess the end goal is around having a 'strategy on a page' which is ultimately what all good strategies should be - one page, no more with the ability to delve into detail as and when you need to.
The difficulty with ppt is that it displays your thinking in a linear fashion which is not how most people work and not how clients like to see it.
