Part of the new Cisco “together” marketing campaign, this video landing page is a great example of how to support branding initiatives by giving a less than warm and fuzzy technology-driven product or service a compelling personality in a simple and accessible manner. The classic “solutions” or “connection” approach, but with grace, modernity and an attractive, friendly face. Bravo.
