Oh and he has a Posterous site here…

He’s up to Day 3 of coverage now from the SXSWi exhibition floor and seems to be hitting some of the best parties (including the Mashable Party).  I’m not jealous at all. 

Honest.

Why are you attending SXSW?

Initially we saw SXSW as an opportunity to generate business links with similar companies and even clients in Austin. We work across brand consultancy, digital media and motion graphics.  Having worked, recently, on a number of multi-platform programmes for the BBC that required us to deliver titles design and digital media content, we rationalised that SXSW might be the right place to be for studios working in digital and on the periphery of TV and film. We don’t have a specific plan but hope to be inspired and come home with lots of ideas.

What type of people do you want to meet there?

Partners, potential suppliers, potential clients, like-minded souls and whomever really. This is our first SXSW experience and we’re going with a very open mind. We expect to be inspired, have time away from the studio to think and crystallize some recent thinking on a change of direction for the studio.

I took the chance to ask Marty Neil the other day about what he’s up to at SXSW wearing his AirPOS and NoMoreArt hats.

In this AudioBoo Marty talks about Cocoon – the new CMS from NoMoreArt.  Marty reckons that despite the growing market presence of Wordpress, and other content management systems, there is still a place for more modest and easy to use platforms.

Why are you attending SXSW?

Bodyguard is an app for the web by people who care. It is a tool for measuring, reporting, monitoring and improving on the quality of web sites.

We are currently in ’stealth’ mode – but are attending SXSWi to talk with the attending web contingent to find out more about their web quality assurance woes and how we can do things better.

What type of people do you want to meet there?

Potential partners (both on the employee and B2B side), VCs and potential customers.
