Transatlantic trip is hailed a big success
British web geeks took over Texas when the South By South West Interactive Festival came to town.
And we were part of the digital mission’s five-days of action in Austin.
Our creative juices were sent into overdrive as we mingled with more than 9,000 of the industry’s top bods, swapping hints and tips on the way we work.
We spread the word about our latest project, CannyBill, through our stand at the Digital Mission Expo event, dishing out hundreds of flyers and leaflets along the way.
And we paid a visit to London’s renowned weekly social media gathering, The Tuttle Club, which landed at the event and gave us the chance to get together with other internet bods.
An intimate tour of the city was polished off with a meet and greet session with Austin’s governor and other secretary of states.
And we attended plenty of master classes about doing business stateside, learned from top speakers and networked with high-profile companies at the trade stalls.
But it wasn’t all work. The Block Party gave us the chance to unwind and chill with fellow digital bosses.
And although the Great British Breakfast made us miss home, we were able to swap stories and meet investors, other companies and the press while munching on our bacon butties and scrambled eggs.
Take a look at what we got up to by visiting:

Well, after hearing Wlad speak on that clip he’s definately gone up in my estimations, simply due to the fact he has neither a French nor a Geordie accent. Well done.
