Info.

HP had a functional workplace technology message to communicate as part of a wider Guardian Labs campaign. Wild used colourful hand-drawn cel animation and simple visual devices to make the ideas easier to follow, giving the subject more warmth and accessibility.

It is a useful example of how animation can make dry B2B and tech messages feel more relatable without losing clarity.
