six to start

I’m speaking at SXSW Interactive this year on a panel co-organised by myself and Rachel Clarke - Stories, Games and Your Brand. The esteemed Roo Reynolds and Jeremy Ettinghausen (who’s leading the Penguin Books side of a project we’re doing) will be joining us, and we’ll be covering such diverse topics as:

• advertising and gaming
• soap operas
• virtual worlds
• storytelling and engaging experiences
• brands engaging in entertainment
• gaming versus advergaming

and a whole host more.

As Rachel points out, we’re a very English panel (it’s like an invasion), so here are some suggestions for why you might want to come along:

• no one can resist that English accent, never mind four of them
• we’re scheduled against Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook
• all the cool kids have moved on from Facebook already
• we’re making an amusing bet about how many times we can not mention Facebook seeing as we’re scheduled against Facebook. Facebook.

It’ll be fun - come see us - Sunday March 9, 2pm, Room 8.
