Texas Comes to Engine What we learnt at SXSW Interactive 2013
SXSW Interactive 2013 - Began life as ‘SXSW Multimedia’ in 1994 - 30,000 delegates now attend more than 1,000 official sessions - 2,500 speakers over 5 days - Focus on “creativity, innovation and inspiration”
SXSW 2013 - Key Themes
The Year of Hardware Leap Motion Makerbot Digitizer Ouya Google Glasses
Good Ideas Spread Access to creativity is greater than ever An open internet means good ideas win If you have an idea, do something about it Resourcefulness always beats resources – you no longer have to be big to
succeed
He who cares, wins Romero: “Don’t stop until you’re 100% happy with what you’re accomplished” Musk: “I want to die on Mars, just not on impact” Lorre: “The person in the room shouting the loudest usually wins” Belsky: “Nothing extraordinary was ever achieved through ordinary means”
Culture is King Musk: “People put too much weight on talent and not enough on personality” Graham: “A company only values culture if they’re willing to lose money on it” Jenkins: “Don’t leave your personal identity at the door” Graham: “A strong culture is more than listening to Arcade Fire at work”
One Size Doesn’t Fit All Karp: “Biggest mistake brands make on social media is using a generic campaign
across all platforms” Peretti: “On social media the most effective content is stuff 10% of consumers care
passionately about, not stuff 90% of people find vaguely interesting” Inman: “Quality over quantity – the key to success is authenticity”
A New Golden Age of Advertising The ‘Bored at Work Network’ is incredibly powerful Advertisers can get back to telling immersive stories like they used to Brands need to understand how to become part of editorial content
