The pandemic hit us all like a bucket of cold water. One day, we heard the news from China, and just days later, it was spreading across every country in the world. Still, our absurd sense of invincibility kept us detached from reality, always thinking it would happen to someone else—but not to us.
Hard truth: the virus doesn’t judge, doesn’t discriminate, doesn’t care about social class, age, or emotional ties. It just acts—without looking back—forever marking the lives of those it touches. This pandemic will be remembered for a long time. We will become part of history for future generations. And what if we could slightly change the course of that history? What if, overnight, we could do something?
A few weeks ago, we were invited to be part of a project that deeply moved us: to be part of change, part of a message of hope in response to the global crisis—as sponsors, as participants in an idea that carries a vital purpose for people’s lives.
That’s what Hack The Crisis is: a global hackathon that explores how our digital era can come together to fight this virus, with three clear objectives:
Save Lives – Save Communities – Save Businesses.
But what exactly is a Hackathon?
As stated on www.hackthecrisis.cl, a hackathon is an online event where people from all over the world collaborate to find fast, unique solutions that result in services, websites, apps, hardware, robots, and more—addressing the urgent needs of nations in crisis.
Who can participate in this initiative?
People who want to leave a mark, with disruptive minds and the drive to change the world—because it is possible. You just need to submit your idea with your team, and if it’s accepted, international mentors and experts will guide you through the process.
This virus tests us every single minute. We must do something!

When we were called to join, we remembered who we are. We’re dreamers, and we believe that if people—even just a few—are willing to change the world, then yes, we can do it.
That’s the spirit of our agency, so we gladly said yes.
There are only a few days left to apply. Get moving! :)
We’ll be part of the change. Be part of it too.
