This SXSW coverage is brought to you by Red Square Agency. The agency that also brought you an occasionally awkward sense of humor.

A program organized by New York-based Cake Group consisted of Shutterstock photo booths in Austin that would then project the images to various locations throughout the city.

Pepsi NEXT Distracts Parents From Acrobatic Baby

Real quick. Love this new Pepsi NEXT ad from TBWA\Chiat\Day. Although they use the tried and true dancing baby approach, the spot works. It captures the classic moment of...well...missed moments when parants turn their heads just when their baby decides to do something amazing.
