A hackathon for marketers?!

That's right! They aren't just for tech. Experience a fast-paced, collaborative event where marketers team up to solve real challenges, generate bold ideas, learn from each other, and get hands-on with AI tools and platforms—all in just a few hours.

Why you should sponsor a hackathon

Active hands-on participation, not passive listening
No booths or keynote speeches. Here, participants are immersed in real-time problem, making a compelling link between your brand/product and the outcomes generated.

Stand out by being part of the action, not just another booth in the crowd
Hackathons make your brand memorable by turning you into an active collaborator with your ICP rather than competing for attention in a crowded exhibit hall or sitting through another pitch.

Let your ICP experience your product, not just a demo
By putting your product at the center of the hackathon, attendees interact with it directly, building familiarity, understanding and trust that accelerates sales conversations.

Deeper human connection, not surface level small talk
Collaborating on real problems creates deeper connections with the brand or organization behind them, which is why our hackathons stay intentionally small to give sponsors richer, more meaningful engagement.

Be part of a playbook that turns the audience into active participants
