I would have some fun with it. You are doing this to show them that you're a good presenter. Think of it as an opportunity to show them how you think. I don't want to see you present a case study on something you did at your last job. Surprise me. I'd love it if a candidate came in and did a presentation on why they were the right person for the job. And did it playfully. I mean embed a video from your mom where she says what a great kid you were. Make them laugh, entertain them and you'll be golden. It could be a presentation on why Dorothy was the most underrated Golden Girl. Or why a hot dog definitely is or is not a sandwich. Take it as a chance to stand out.

First, I would ask questions to clarify the assignment, shows your thinking. Then do something smart, but fun. Maybe competitive, but add some personality. They either want to make sure you can present or check your strategy chops (see above about clarifying the assignment)
