Austin 2 Boston: Sharing SXSWi Learnings, presented by Fleishman-Hillard

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

"Austin 2 Boston: Sharing Learnings from SXSWi," was a happy hour event designed to bring together Boston area social media, marketing and communications pros who were either in Austin for SXSWi or wished they could have gone. For both groups, this event offered the opportunity to learn cool things and connect with peers. Presentations were designed to be fast-moving. A range of high-profile local speakers followed a common format: one mega takeaway from this year's SXSW; 3-4 smaller, but still important takeaways; and best of all, how they plan to integrate these new ideas into their work this year.

The Big Takeaway

The current volume, power and potential of healthcare data makes now the most daunting and the most exciting time to witness—or help drive—the growth of social health.

“There has never been a better time to be an innovator at the intersection of healthcare and IT.”

Other Key Learnings

The challenges of a regulated industry touch far more than just health and finance.

There are a lot of smart people working to balance ethics, authenticity and community the right way.

The Content Strategy/Future of Journalism track wasn’t popular by accident.

SXSWi doesn’t know the meaning of crazy until it’s seen 6th Street the day after we geeks go home.

The Big Takeaway

Social Media Measurement @ SXSW

Lots here Here, not so much

14

Other Key Learnings

Learned: People remain most interesting “technology.”

Learned: No news is sometimes good news.

Learned: “Cool” is relative.

Observed: We are all complicit in the war on our privacy.

What they forget to tell you when you turn 40: Hangovers last longer.

15

Putting it Into Practice

Technology can be a red herring.

Redirect attention from from the tools to the impact.

Focus on proving the consumption of social assets drives business objectives (revenue, retention).

Critical mass enables wicked targeted programsTop-tier tech blogsBoston event

Geeks making eye contactReal socialHuge, but you can’t hide

23

Putting it Into Practice

Don’t be afraid to:Experiment Micro-targetLet people be people

Do be afraid to:Bring a cookie-cutter program to Austin and hope to soak up the cool

The devil is now in the detailsIt’s no longer “Is social media important?” Rather, it’s “How do we do social media really well?”

What’s next? Don’t know yet – stay flexible

The Big Takeaway

Minimal Promotion this year by filmmakers

26

Other Key Learnings

Lack of marketing/promoting films leads to:Not sold out screeningsMinimal festival buzzLess emotional engagement with audience

Films that marketed seemed to already have a distributor

If you have a party it doesn’t mean people will go see your film

Not 1 person came up to me and gave me their postcard of their film.

27

Putting it Into Practice

Start marketing your film the minute you get accepted into SXSW

Facebook, Twitter, Blog with video and photosMake postcards with your screening times and mini descriptionMake sure you have a trailer available online

Marketing at FestivalGet to SXSW early & get your posters up EVERYWHEREGo to screenings that have lines & hand out your postcards, talk about your film

Need for an online “Social Hub” for festival goers
