austin 2 boston: sharing sxswi learnings, presented by fleishman-hillard
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.TRANSCRIPT

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.

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
