Mobile Socials

SxSW_tout_sidebar.gif Based on the success of our bike culture events at SXSW 08, we’re taking the show on the road and the next stop is Portland at Webvisions 2008. The Bike Hugger Mobile Social includes an urban ride, reception, and all-around fun times. The Mobile Social itself is an intersection of bike culture, mobile apps, and technology.

For our clients, it’s a creative opportunity to engage a growing demographic, socialize with them, and blog all about it.

Bike Hugger BBQ & Urban Ride

posted by DL Byron on March 04, 2008

SxSW_tout_sidebar.gif Textura Design worked directly with SXSW to develop a Interactive Community Event that’s a blogger barbecue, related bike ride, and all-around fun time. It’s a creative opportunity to engage the SXSW crowd, socialize with them, and blog all about it. Austin is a total bike town, we expect some industry peeps to hang out with us, and it’s a bike culture event. In fact, Bike Hugger was born in Austin during a ride to Creedmoor and back.
