On March 5, 2025, Los Angeles agency TDW+Co announced a one-day branded house in Austin for Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines. The house opened Sunday, March 9, 2025, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Central Time at Inn Cahoots, 1221 East Sixth Street.

The press release said the activation would turn Inn Cahoots into an interactive hub with live tech demonstrations, curated panels, and hands-on activations. Named pieces included an electronic bag tag powered by BAGTAG, BagsID AI baggage recognition, a Vibe Quiz for travel style and destination, and a Future Gate Vision look at the airport.

This highlight is about a minute and a half. The camera stays with the hosted room they booked during SXSW 2025 week.

Who Hired The Camera

Airlines and agencies hire a recap when a sponsored house has to exist after the last guest leaves. TDW+Co was the agency on the public announcement. The film is coverage of that brand program.

Chief Marketer later listed the Alaska Airlines x Hawaiian Airlines House among its SXSW 2025 activations, naming Inn Cahoots, the bag-tag and BagsID demos, the Vibe Quiz, mocktails, DJ sets, flight attendants, custom-printed boarding passes, and swag.

A branded house needs a film the airline and the agency can send after the week ends. We keep cameras in the room they booked.
