Tips on how to create Powerpoint slides from scratch faster?

I can't figure out if I'm just slow or if creating content from scratch takes forever. For instance, when you're creating a pitch deck and marketing materials on a new company/industry, wrapping your head around the complex ideas and nuanced information takes a while. Not only does research take some time, putting information on a page that is moving and useful takes several iterations.

Yeah, I get that you start with the main idea and then work the details into the page. However, my bank is super anal about formatting and being creative with explaining the idea, which honestly is a huge time-suck. I'm not much of a marketing or art visual guy so I need to find inspiration from other sources (e.g. not Softbank presentations).

Any tips and concepts on how to approach a new presentation slide and company would be helpful. My essay writing is shite as well so maybe that's why I'm struggling.
