Less Than 1 Week to Go: SXSW London Is Nearly Here — Are You Ready?

Final prep, Fospha's POV, and what to watch when the doors open

Hi there,

We’re officially one week out from SXSW London 2025 — and whether you’re packing your badge or following from your inbox, this is where the momentum starts to build.

Our ClickZ and Fospha teams will be on the ground next week capturing the energy, ideas, and edge this first-ever European edition promises — and if Austin was the signal, London is the surge.

Here’s what to expect and how to follow along.

Your SXSW London Starter Pack

What to Watch
Across stages, these are the themes we’ll be tracking hard:

  • Proving ROI in a Post-Cookie World — who’s cracked the measurement code?

  • Retail Media & DTC Performance — new plays from TikTok, Amazon, and beyond

  • AI That Works — less “someday,” more “shipping now”

  • Agency Reinvention — how creative teams are responding to platform chaos

  • Marketing Leadership in 2025 — what real impact looks like this year

 We’ll be turning these into daily recaps with insights that go beyond the hype — so you can cut through the noise, fast.

Brand Spotlight: Why Fospha Matters Right Now

SXSW London isn’t just a new event — it’s a new urgency.

Marketers are being asked tougher questions:

  • What’s actually driving revenue?

  • Can we prove impact across TikTok and Amazon?

  • Are we spending efficiently — or just spending?

That’s where Fospha comes in.
At this year's event, Fospha will be sharing:

  • New case studies on full-funnel measurement across TikTok + Amazon

  • Fresh thinking on privacy-first marketing

  • Real ROI math behind retail media investments

You’ll see their POV show up in panels, podcasts, and daily recaps from us.
