Creatives, developers and business strategists looking to seize an amazing opportunity to showcase their talents are invited to register for #CreativeHack2017.<\/p>\n
#CreativeHack2017 registration is open until Friday 17 March<\/p>\n
Taking place on 25 and 26 March 2017 at the V&A Waterfront\u2019s Workshop17, this innovative 48-hour hackathon will see creatives and techies networking and pitching to industry leaders such as John Sanei and Alistair King.<\/p>\n
Hackathons provide a unique environment for inspiration and networking and are on the rise both globally and in South Africa.<\/p>\n
But gone are the days when these pressure-cooker initiatives were aimed exclusively at techies. #CreativeHack2017 \u2013 hosted by Tiger Tail Digital in association with HackON, hosted by Workshop17 \u2013 is for all creatives, who will be pitching their ideas for Tiger Tail\u2019s brand identity.<\/p>\n
Trend specialist, business strategist, author and serial entrepreneur, and on his way to study at the highly revered Silicon Valley think tank Singularity University, John Sanei will be MC for #CreativeHack2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cHackathons provide a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate talent to a key audience so I\u2019m looking forward to seeing what creative genius we uncover,\u201d says Sanei.<\/p>\n
The judging panel includes Alistair King, founding creative partner of King James Group, Sabine Heckmann, Natasha Williams, Farai Madzima, Nikki Stokes and Julie Maunder.<\/p>\n
The initiative will ultimately form part of a clever launch campaign for Tiger Tail Digital, a specialist workforce solutions provider focused on digital skills recruitment. Natasha Williams, Managing Director of Tiger Tail Digital explains, \u201c77% of organisations see digital transformation as their top strategic priority \u2013 but only 17% have the digital skills onboard to make it happen.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s the gap Tiger Tail is helping to close \u2013 we\u2019re a strong team of Agile trained specialists, operating in very specific areas to ensure we really understand the right skillset and fit.<\/p>\n
This space is not about matching a CV to a job, it\u2019s about thinking differently \u2013 doing things differently \u2013 putting the right people in the right place to achieve the required progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
Great prizes are up for grabs too \u2013 two finalist teams will be selected on the Sunday and receive a fully paid for trip to Johannesburg* to pitch their world class work to the country’s most prominent digital and design leaders.<\/p>\n
The winning team will scoop R75,000 and the runner-up team will win R25,000, with smaller spot prizes over the weekend including the latest in tech gadgetry.<\/p>\n
