What You’ll Learn

In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up your company’s visual brand on Pitches.ai — including uploading your logo, selecting accent colors and image styles, choosing light/dark themes, and defining your writing style and tone. Perfect for founders and teams who want every pitch to reflect their unique brand identity.

Before You Start

  • Sign in to your Pitches.ai account.
  • Have your company logo ready (recommended: PNG, SVG, or JPEG format).
  • Consider your desired accent color (you can use a HEX code).
  • (Optional) Know what writing tone you want (formal, friendly, bold, etc.).

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Access Visual Branding Settings

  • Log in and from the dashboard, click “Create a Brand” if you haven’t already, or select your existing brand to edit.

Step 2: Upload Your Logo

  • Click the “Upload Logo” button and select your company logo file from your computer.
  • Make sure it displays clearly in the preview.
  • Tip: Use high-res images for the best results.

Step 3: Choose Your Accent Color

  • Select an accent color that represents your brand using the color picker, or enter your brand’s HEX code directly.
  • This color will be used for highlights and key visual elements throughout your deck.
  • Pro Tip: Pick a color that has good contrast with both light and dark backgrounds.

Step 4: Choose Your Image Style

  • For AI-generated images used in your pitch, pick an image style that matches your brand’s personality (e.g., minimalist, photographic, illustrated, etc.).
  • The AI will generate on-brand visuals to help your pitch stand out.

Step 5: Select a Theme – Light or Dark

  • Pick between a light or dark theme for your deck’s overall appearance.
  • Preview how your content looks in each style, then confirm your choice.

Step 6: Configure Your Writing Style and Tone

  • Use the writing style quadrant slider to set your desired brand “voice” (e.g., professional vs. friendly, energetic vs. reserved).
  • Drag the marker and preview a sample headline to see how your tone will come through in the pitch.
  • Adjust until you’re satisfied with the tone preview.

Step 7: Save and Apply

  • Click “Save” to apply your visual and tone settings to your brand. All decks you create for this brand will follow these guidelines by default.

Pro Tips

  • Match your pitch visuals to any existing branding you use on your website, LinkedIn, or promo materials for maximum consistency.
  • If you’re unsure about tone, start in the middle and adjust after previewing a sample.
  • Experiment with image styles to see what feels most authentic to your company’s identity.
