The lines at SxSW definitely tell the story: this isn't just the year of the story, it's the decade of coordinated, additive and interactive storytelling across multiple media channels for everything from entertainment and branding to education and journalism. It all starts with the story.

SXSW 2015 Re-Cap: “Game of Thrones” – Creating Immersive Entertainment

SXSW 2015 Re-Cap: “Game of Thrones” – Creating Immersive Entertainment | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:


Christine Weitbrecht:  "Game of Thrones is unlike many others series in that it is on-air only for a few weeks each year, meaning that the show’s producers face a very particular dilemma: Keep fan passion and interest going for the rest of the year when other shows and content are competing for the fans’ attention."

Kajsa Hartig's curator insight, May 28, 2015 2:36 PM

"...the producer’s creativity allowed them to run a campaign that was relatively simple in design, yet still brought about meaningful interactions even for the most involved super-fans;  interactions, that let fans live through important and magical experiences straight from the world of Game of Thrones.

This Is the Most Overlooked Way to Get Press at SXSW | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it
Every year around this time, I get asked by startups old and new, “How can I stand out to the press at SXSW? How can I make the press pay attention to me and my company?”


The answer: a great press page.  Using tips, "culled from the press themselves," this article helps move your press page from being "cobbled together" to something that truly supports your SXSW launch or campaign.
