CJRW’s Zack Hill recaps SXSW Interactive
CJRW’s director of digital, Zack Hill, was a guest on this week’s edition of Talk Business & Politics. He recapped his team’s recent trip to South by Southwest, the tech festival that takes place annually in Austin, Texas.
“It’s a little bit of controlled chaos, honestly,” Hill said of the mega-conference. “It is the epicenter of where you’re going to see technology get exposed to the world… and how marketers can take advantage of these new technologies and applications and apply them to their businesses.”

- Virtual Football with Bret Bielema
