Gismart Motion Design Hackathon is here

The best-performing ads aren’t just beautiful — they’re fast, structured, and built with purpose. Time to build one yourself.

Join our Gismart Motion Design Hackathon — a chance to put that thinking into practice in a real context.

2-3 May. Online. And yes — a genuine shot at joining our team or getting prizes.

What it is

Not a portfolio contest. Not a theory course. A hands-on, mentor-guided challenge where you’ll break down what makes ads actually perform — and then make one from scratch.

Here’s what you’ll do:

Dig into hooks, structure, and storytelling that go beyond “looking good”
Get mentored by Gismart professionals along the way
Work with AI tools and real production workflows
Submit a finished motion ad — built by you, start to finish

What’s inside

Anatomy of a winning ad. What actually stops the scroll and keeps people watching.

Storytelling that sells. How to turn an idea into a clear, engaging ad narrative.

Production tools & AI workflow. Concept → execution → iteration. Fast.

Competitor research like a pro. Spot winning patterns. Turn them into ideas.

AI in motion design. How tools like Nano Banana and Veo-3 fit into real creative work.

And to close it all out — the Final Challenge. Build a motion ad for a live product brief. Apply everything. Show how you think.

Win prizes. Or something even better

The strongest works from the Final Challenge get featured on Gismart’s social media — and the community votes for the winners.

1st place — Apple Watch Series 11
2nd place — AirPods Pro 3
3rd place — Gismart Branded Backpack

But here’s the part that actually matters — top performers get a chance to join the Gismart team!
