SXSW Kicks Off Bad Pitch Blog Spring Tour

Richard Laermer will join Dennis Kucinich as well as representatives from NPR and Google as part of SXSW’s Platinum Track on March 17.

According to SXSW the Platinum Track will “feature some of the most provocative individuals and ideas in music, film and interactive technology. (They’ll) explore what makes a 21st century record label, discover how consumer marketing thrives in a recession, discuss freedom of speech issues that affect global on line content, look inside the intimate workings of how a film composer works with a film director for the first time, learn the secrets of the uniquely reactive relationship that NPR has with its audience, and get a glimpse of the future role media will play in citizen democracy in the Obama era.”

Reads like some heavy stuff to kick off our spring tour.

I’ll be bringing the Bad Pitch to Pittsburgh on March 27. PRSA Pittsburgh is hosting my presentation “Pitch Smart: New Media Relations Rules for Web 2.0 Tools.” I’m looking forward to connecting with everyone at the event and might even check in with Andy and Frank while I'm in town.
