That’s what Juniper Networks, a revolutionary company in the secure communications over IP platforms arena, set out to do. A small fish in a big pond, Juniper needed to reach their market in way that no one else had tried before. They envisioned a tradeshow presentation that would knock the socks off of their potential clients and the industry. And they sought a one-stop shop that could handle all the details-custom illustration, script development, animation and interactivity development, voice casting, and more. (Read More…)
