DDBot is now one degree from #Kevinbacon #DDBdoesaustin #sxsw
Congratulations to our DDBot Photo Contest winner, @adplannergirl, Angela Rodriguez, Director of Strategic Insights at Alma DDB.
According to our judge, Chief Creative Officer of DDB New York, Matt Eastwood, “It’s funny, clever and shows how DDBot is now connected to the entire world.”
See you at SXSW Interactive 2015, Angela!
While so many have come to SXSW Interactive to find out about the next big thing or to try out the latest in wearable technology, we’re all really just looking for ways to harness the extraordinary power of connection.
DDBot certainly got around at SXSW Interactive. It found its self, with influential speakers, other SXSW bots, and even one degree from Kevin Bacon!
Thanks to everyone who submitted photos for the DDBot photo contest! You can view all DDBot photos here.
The photo submission period is over, as is SXSW Interactive. The winner of free SXSWI 2015 registration will be announced early next week.
Stay tuned!

Thanks to everyone who attended!
USTA installation participants were also able to generate their own version of the brand new “Tennis Makes You” online films. Using an iPad via a custom software solution the attendant aligned the participant in the proper location and selected which film to create - Stronger, Stress-Free and Invincible.
Videos were aggregated with the hashtag #TennisMakesYou
This is a video of Invincible. Click here to go to USTA’s Youtube to see all the videos created at the installation.
On Monday, March 10, DDB New York and the United States Tennis Association (USTA) hosted an interactive installation on the corner of Fifth Street and Colorado Street in Austin, Texas during SXSW Interactive Festival.
Festivalgoers and Austin locals participated in hitting tennis balls covered in colored chalk dust against a wall of graffiti artwork. It was a little messy but really fun!
Look what @DDBNewYork’s @ScottMurphy found at Walmart!
