Don’t miss Pyxl’s owner & lead advisor Brian Winter speaking this Thursday at the third annual Progressive Marketing Summit, co-presented by the Knoxville Chamber and the Knoxville Chapter of the American Marketing Association!

While there were hundreds of noteworthy exhibitions at the International CES event this year, one of them really caught my eye as a PC gamer – NVIDIA GRID. Essentially NVIDIA GRID is a cloud gaming venture backed by the graphics giant NVIDIA, allowing access to major game titles that are entirely processed and streamed from the cloud.

What does this mean? Gamers can play PC game titles without specific PC or Console hardware outside of a standard controller or input of some kind (e.g. gamepad, mouse/keyboard). You can even use a smart TV which has almost no processing power and offers a potentially enormous screen to play traditional PC games on. Read more →

Have you ever found yourself driving down a long and lonesome road in the middle of the night, blasting your high beams, when a car enters your line of sight with little time to adjust your lights? Perhaps the lights of a driver who failed to turn down their high beams have blinded you. Audi has recognized this issue and provides a solution in their upcoming models, just one of several high-tech advances we discovered while at this year’s International Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

What a fantastic opportunity to once again contribute to the success of the #1 tennis event in the Southeast! The USTA Knoxville Challenger tournament committee approached Pyxl more than three years ago, at a time in which they struggled to organize and promote the large-scale tennis event. This 7-day tournament brings professional tennis players to Knoxville to vie for a $50,000 prize, with proceeds benefiting a regional not-for-profit organization. With the USTA on the verge of pulling the event from the Challenger Series, a new tournament committee was formed, and Pyxl was brought on board to provide marketing strategy and support.
