The Social Revolucion at SXSW Interactive 2012

The Social Revolución is an interactive movement of Latinos using social media as their platform to create and inspire change. These ambitious individuals are using hashtags, pixels, and live updates to spread ideas, foster communities, and inspire their worldwide audience into action.

Premiering as the official Latino event at SXSW Interactive 2012, The Social Revolución will recognize and celebrate these online cries in three categories:

• The New Americano: These individuals and/or organizations are trendsetters impacting the Hispanic market online.
• The Mobilizer: These are Latinos with international and local causes using social media as a strategy to mobilize their audience.
• The Innovator: Whether it’s a new app or website, this movement is redefining how we reach Latinos now and in the future.

All of these monumental visions from the Latino community have inspired the gente at Cultural Strategies, headquartered in Austin, Texas, to make this an official movement that is rarely recognized in social media.

So let it be heard, let it be no longer ignored.
