Spring is in the air in Austin, Texas and that can only mean one thing: It's time for another massive influx of thought leaders, technology trailblazers, social media mavens and the thousands of marketers, movie makers and, of course, musicians (and fans) to our fair town.

Yes, it's SXSW 2012. For nFusion, that means SXSW Interactive and all the panels, parties, lounges and other events that make SXSWi a must-attend event.

So just which panels, parties, lounges and other events are must-attends for nFusion's intrepid team?

Read on and find out, plus discover our various Twitter handles so you can follow us as we explore this year's conference.

We'd love to meet you in person, so connect with us via Twitter and let's confer!

The Austin Ad Fed held its annual Big Wig Awards celebration and we are proud to have been named "Best Website Development Company." Thanks, Austin!

nFusion is delighted to welcome a number of new clients to our roster. Each brings unique opportunities for the team to collaborate and create inspiring work.

nFusion was recently invited to share our insights on digital experiences and speak to the latest trends in the social space to the marketing department at General Mills. As a thank you we also brought along a special gift: the chance to win an original song written by an Austin musician (we live in the Live Music Capital or the World, after all).

nFusion Welcomes New VP, Group Creative Director

nFusion is pleased to announce the arrival of Bass Phillips, the digital marketing agency’s new VP, Group Creative Director. Phillips enters the fray to guide nFusion in all things creative, putting his unique digital expertise and experience to work for this Austin-based agency.

@BronxZoosCobra is getting quite the following on Twitter. The deadly cobra escaped from his lodgings at the Bronx Zoo over the weekend, and workers assumed he was curled up somewhere in the reptile exhibit, but is actually taking on Manhattan by storm. He has words for Donald Trump, is eating at the famous Ray's Pizza and cruising Wall Street! Tourists and Manhattanites beware, this slithery socialite (with a deadly bite) is all over the city and the Internet.

Another recent re-relocator who pined for Austin (no that isn't a hint at her fave arborial specimen), Stephanie sauntered around the south, then San Francisco, before returning to Austin's comfort food and lolling waters. Now she's nFusion's latest creative addition, writing copy and singing the praises in defense of restaurant hostesses the world over.

Well-traveled Annie Sarabia lassos her advertising degrees, her husband and her return to Austin to join nFusion as our media planner. Below, Annie takes some time to answer questions about work, play and trailer food.

A Holiday Tale of an Interactive, Seasonal Social Media Project
2009 felt like a one big stocking full of coal, right? The global economy was in freefall. The H1N1 flu pandemic wrought havoc around the world. At either end of the earth, ice caps were melting at an alarming rate during the hottest summer ever. Nearer to home people were losing their...homes. Who could wait to see the back of 2009? Not nFusion. This leading integrated marketing agency from Austin, Texas, turned out the old year with a hilarious interactive website, "The Ultimate Naughty List."

Austin City Limits Music Festival in recent years has been desiccated by drought and mired in mud but the festival always manages to get us in the groove whether we’re contracting brown lung or using Zilker Park as a giant slip-n-slide. This year it was clear skies and calm seas as we danced to a typically rambunctious bill of up and coming and established acts.
