SXSW Connects with Multicultural Marketers
With over 60,000 registrants, SXSW is the place where artists, entrepreneurs, influencers and innovators converge. Encompassing film, interactive and music showcases, SXSW draws tastemakers from numerous industries.
SXSW’s reputation and captive audience also attracts big brands.. What the Super Bowl is to advertisers, SXSW is for event marketers looking to build buzz, spark engagement and showcase innovation. FCG client Miller Lite hit the mark last yearwith an activation relevant to the entrepreneurs, and are back to do it again this week.
SXSW offers several sessions for multicultural marketers. Here’s a list of panels we recommend:

SmART Campaign: Art and Music Driving Social Change
Multicultural audiences often look to artists to provide commentary on social issues. With an increased use of various platforms to market products, this panel will examine how the use of art, music or film makes for a more impactful message.
