Cisco have been producing various little videos to show off their products of late. They’re quite simple – pick a product manager, plonk them into a small studio behind a desk, and get them to point at some bit of kit whilst talking about it.
The trouble is, these guys are techy types – not marketing people. So their wooden performances are more entertaining than anything else. It has worked before with other companies using their own people for ads (Halifax, springs to mind), but these guys are the best of the bunch I think.
