SDDC Insights
Made at First Person
VMware approached First Person to create 12 videos that explained the key value points of the Software Defined Data Center to 6 different IT personas. Working closely with the VMware team, we created personas that aligned with the key messaging and issues that face the IT world and how the Software Defined Data Center can solve these problems.
Our approach was to show personas talk about specific issues which would be explained by beautiful animations that didn't show the specifics of servers and data, but more the idea and concepts come to life through beautiful animations.
