The slideshow guided guests & online viewers along with Robert’s presentation, displaying each gift bag item individually with the brand name, hash tag and insight about what makes it a great Father’s Day gift. Designed using iconic TV dads, the slideshow used great cultural references as examples of all the types of Dads who would have these items on their wish list.
