Interested in which add-ins people have used and can recommend for ppt to make slide building faster and easier. We have "designed" our own but feel like there might be better options e.g. Design Toolbars (used by Bain) or Pptproductivity.
Thanks!

+1 for PPT Productivity ;). We're a team of ex consultants (BCG and ACN). We created the tools to solve our own frustrations and consultants and ex consultants remain our core customer base. Our tools focus on streamlining common tasks and making reuse easy. Here's my two personal favorite features:
> Slide library - you can have corporate galleries (share slides or shapes across the company or specific teams) and personal galleries (your own 'best of' stash whether you created them or you found them and want to save for reuse)
> Sticky notes - sounds simple but easily my second favourite feature after the slide library. I still do some freelance consulting and I use sticky notes all the time to annotate decks as they iterate through client review
Send me a direct message or hello@pptproductivity if you'd like to chat and we can set you up with an extended free trial.
