40 builders. One day. $40,000 in prizes.
For the second iteration of the Marketing Engineering Hackathon, and our first in San Francisco, we're pushing the limits of a new discipline and asking: how do you build systems and agents that let one marketer produce the work of a hundred?
The challenge: find a marketing process that's inhuman in scope or scale, and ship a system or agent that runs it. The full problem statement is revealed at kickoff.
