I think your question was a pretty low barrier to winning, but I guess not. That's about when SXSW became more of a circus, filled with lots of "fake it 'till you make it" types. I would overhear people practicing their pitches (usually in an elevator!) and they were all different combinations of the same phrases that were trendy that year: "We offer crowdsourced coupons via influencers to create brand awareness.." "We work with influencers in offering coupons, to crowdsource brand awareness.."
- bragr 4y agoTux is very much a obscure reference except in tech bubbles
- saghm 4y agoI think that's mostly true, but I've been surprised by non-tech people pointing out and recognizing Tux on various things of my over the years since college (a T-shirt, my background on my laptop at one time, etc.). I think there's a certain segment of the population that will see an adorable penguin mascot, like it, and then look up what it is.
