Pandora expanded its presence at SXSW Interactive by transforming The Gatsby into the Pandora Powerhouse, an innovative space designed for both industry networking and immersive brand experiences. A highlight of this activation was the Connected Home, produced by Stoelt Productions, which brought to life the seamless integration of Pandora’s streaming technology across multiple smart devices. Featuring five fully outfitted rooms, the activation allowed guests to interact with iPad Air, Google Chromecast, TiVo, Xbox, and smart TVs, all playing Pandora-curated content tailored to different listener personas. To further enhance engagement, a custom-built interactive table housed a touch-screen computer, allowing attendees to explore Pandora’s ecosystem and discover new music.

Beyond the Connected Home, the Pandora Powerhouse served as a dynamic hub for client meetings, panel discussions, and exclusive networking events, creating a premium space for industry leaders to connect. Guests could enjoy music-themed cocktails, play ping-pong, and experience live demonstrations showcasing Pandora’s latest innovations in audio streaming and personalized recommendations. Pandora’s presence at SXSWi reinforced its commitment to bridging technology, entertainment, and consumer engagement. With a focus on experiential storytelling and interactive design, the activation successfully positioned Pandora at the forefront of music-tech innovation at SXSW Interactive.
