A lot of times, the materials have already been created. You just repurpose the slides for the new company / update for the date.
your MD will shit on a piece of paper and smear it around a bit. Then your associate will give it to you, so that you can scan it into the system.
You have to recreate the hand-smeared piece of paper in your respective company’s branding in PPT.
You would usually start with an old pitchbook your firm did then tailor it to the new opportunity. You probably add slides and take others away but the bones/structure remain generally the same.
