This Is the Most Overlooked Way to Get Press at SXSW

This Is the Most Overlooked Way to Get Press at SXSW
Josh Jones Dilworth wrote this excellent article about how to get press for your company at SXSW.  It’s great advice anytime of the year.

A press page. Not merely a press page, but a great one. My company recently undertook a broad survey of the press, asking them whether they care about a website’s press page in the first place, and if so, what they would like to see in one. The overwhelming response of over 100 journalists was that not only is a press page welcome, it can make all the difference.

"Hit some panels. They are worth it. But when you do, first, don’t be that person who asks a long, pointless question. Better yet, just don’t ask anything at all. Just listen. When you go talk to people after the panel, be quick, courteous, give them your card, ask for theirs and move on. Yes, people still use cards – this is, after all the physical manifestation of the tech industry, and the card is the physical manifestation of Highlight and Bump. Or something. Don’t ask me. Maybe this is the year the business card dies. See above. But were I betting man, I would not take that bet."
