Concept

In times of stress, it's great to know you have support for your team. These animated vignettes showcase IT individuals without support and in need of solutions. The individuals will use emoji* (the most universally used language) ballon dialogue to voice their departmental needs/stress. At apex of their story, a non-human desk item will remind the individuals that Cisco & Veeam provide insights and solutions for next-generation data centers.

*60 million emojis are used on Facebook each day, paling in comparison to the more than 5 billion that are used on Messenger daily.
