It’s that time of year again: it’s time to vote for BBDO and Proximity-submitted ideas to make the programming grid for South by Southwest next year (doesn’t seem like this year’s SXSW just wrapped up?).

As you know, SXSW is one of the biggest multimedia festivals anywhere; it welcomes thousands of professionals and influencers to the comfy town of Austin, Texas every year to discuss, debate, ideate and break new ground around every conceivable topic touching the worlds of technology, content and media. And in the open tradition of the Internet, the governing body of SXSW allows anyone to submit programming ideas for the annual festival and then allows public voting to play a major part in determining which publicly submitted ideas are added to the festival’s programming lineup.

So we need your voice to be heard! We need your help – yes, your help as in Y-O-U – so that the BBDO and Proximity-submitted ideas make the cut and can be featured as can’t miss events at SXSW 2013.

This year, our ideas cover everything from the new age of branded content to the challenge for ad agencies to bring humanity to technology. Please vote for each of our ideas by clicking the links below, registering for the SXSW 2012 PanelPicker site and voting for each with a “thumbs up.”

 “AT&T’s Daybreak – Technology, Transmedia & Tim Kring”

“Can Ad Agencies and Brands Humanize Technology?”

“Digital’s Changing The Way We View Sporting Events”

“You Make It, You Sell It, You Buy It”

“Hipster Traps, a Social Media Story”

“Purpose, Meaning, Profit: Good is Good Business”

“Storytelling: What’s Your Story, Startup”

Thank you so much for your support. Hope to see you next year at SXSW!
