Seeking a way to learn and share from the hundreds of events that take place during the five day conference, Ogilvy recruited a team of graphic facilitators to cover SXSW Interactive and post insights through thought-pictures.  Among those covering the event for Ogilvy are visual notes leaders Heather Willems and Nora Herting of ImageThink, supported by Ryan Robinson, Sunni Brown, Liisa Sorsa, as well as Stephanie von Dressler of Ogilvy's Red Works.

"Ogilvy Notes is designed to foster community, provide enduring value, and extend the conversations at SXSW beyond the stage."
