Top SXSW Influencer
Hill+Knowlton Strategies
Over the nine-day festival, there were almost one million mentions of the keyword ‘SXSW’ online, which provided the impetus to use H+K’s proprietary influencer mapping methodology, Sherlock+, to work out which mentions were most impactful.
Working with Brandwatch, we wrote a bespoke “query” for SXSW mentions. Queries are extended search strings written in Boolean syntax which determine what sort of information Sherlock+ pulls in from the web to analyze.

Working with Brandwatch, we wrote a bespoke “query” for SXSW mentions. Queries are extended search strings written in Boolean syntax which determine what sort of information Sherlock+ pulls in from the web to analyze.
In this case, the query was based on associated language, hashtags, and names of people on featured speakers lists. This query was then used to populate a dashboard, built to identify the follow features of any conversation:
Influencers
Topics of conversation
Media, forums and blogs.
For this particular set-up, we focused on influencers and topics.
One of the biggest influencers identified during the festival was Sandy Carter, formerly IBM’s General Manager of Ecosystem Development and Social Business. Carter conducted her own research and found out that “innovate” was the word of the festival, both on the ground and then online. She explained that the word was used 650,000 times over the first weekend of the festival alone, which breaks down to a rate of 8.2 mentions a second on average. While these mentions can’t all be linked to SXSW conversation, many of them were.
Carter herself hosted a session on artificial intelligence and bots at the festival this year. One of the most notable pieces of advice she gave for brands was that “bots are more memorable than apps”, offering a stronger, deeper way to reflect your brand and engage with consumers more efficiently. -
