When trouble strikes, we can count on our most heroic Artists.

Heroes throughout the pandemic!

With Cheyne’s bold style radiating the epic nature of comic books, and Samuel’s engaging motion graphics and witty direction, these superhero Artists have been able to showcase the true power of the unsung I.T. Heroes.

‘Tornado of Terror,’ the First animation, is about a villainous natural disaster that hits a corporate office, the IT hero, suited in office attire, dons a cape and Intel branded lycra to fly to the rescue and ensure that all employees are equipped with hi-spec laptops to enable them to work safely and efficiently from home.

The Second animation ‘I.T. Support Force’, focuses on the many people that have been required to change their routine and work from home, luckily Intel’s valiant IT support force have the power to build, validate and deliver high-spec laptops in true superhero speed to meet the employee’s demand. Thank you, I.T. Heroes!
