CASE STUDY
“Now, we can actually send materials in advance and get investors reading early. That has completely changed the tone of the meeting.”
- Rob Coddington, Chief Operating Officer of StudentBridge
The Customer
StudentBridge is a software company helping higher education admissions and marketing teams improve student engagement and enrollment through personalized digital experiences.
Industry: Software
The Problem
Creating board decks was a time-consuming, fragmented process. Multiple departments worked in different platforms, which resulted in formatting issues, inconsistencies, and high-stress last-minute fixes—especially painful for a visually driven company.
The Solution
Zeck provides a unified platform that standardized formatting, eliminated version control chaos, and introduced smart constraints to ensure consistency. With built-in templates and creative flexibility, teams could build within guide rails.
The Benefits
Zeck cut board prep time by 80% and made it easier to deliver polished, consistent decks that aligned with the brand. With earlier distribution and AI-powered insights, the team had more strategic conversations and less frustration all around.
Pre-Read Transformation
By sending materials out earlier, meetings shifted from passive updates to active discussions.
“I love the pre-read functionality and anayltics. We send the Zeck out in advance and in doing so, our meetings have gone from being four hours of catch up to productive conversations about what we're going to do about it all.”
A Surprise Cultural Shift
The new process removed internal friction over fonts, colors, and last-minute chaos. Before Zeck, Rob mentioned how his team would work really hard to put slides together and all they were hearing in return was that their presentations weren’t great. They were spending way too much time fixing things and living in the 11th hour (sounds miserable). Additionally, after being in doer mode for so long, his team wasn’t able to really reflect on the content and make sure it was meaningful. That’s all changed with Zeck.

“The jaws of our revenue analytics and marketing leads dropped when they saw how easy Zeck is to use.”
- Rob Coddington, Chief Operating Officer of StudentBridge
AI Features for the Win
It's not just Rob who appreciates the new work flow - StudentBridge’s CFO especially loves the AI-generated charts and key takeaways. Not only for ease of use, but because it also helps you anticipate questions, which makes you look more credible. They actually look really pro as well.
Seamless Collaboration
As a multi-media software company, StudentBridge's CEO is very tuned into the look and feel of what they are presenting to their board. Before Zeck, he would spend endless weekend hours with the frustrating task of reformatting slides. This not only was a total waste of his time, but also lead to delayed distribution and missed opportunities for board members to pre-read materials.
Zeck's guiderails and formatting gave their CEO hours back in the day and also allowed their board to get up to speed with plenty of time before the meeting.
