What is this all about?

There’s a lot of talk in ad land about being lean, ‘agile’ and ‘iterative’, the issue is that a lot of it is just that, talk. And talk is cheap.

Sign up – it’s FREE – and join in for an epic hackathon on May 10th 2013, to prove that your agency or digital team has what it takes to:

1. Come up with a product idea

2. Build a lo-fi demo

3. Get feedback from real users

4. Plan how to get to market and scale

There will be roving General Assembly mentors to help you fix bugs and lend a hand.
