Using word-of-mouth marketing is a very powerful way of attracting more participants to your Hackathon! Once participants share their badges, their friends and colleagues will see it and immediately be aware of your event. These people are likely to share similar interests and therefore, more likely to become your participants!
Use the Virtual Badges to individually recognize the effort of all hackathon participants. After all, not only the winners gave their blood, sweat, and tears for the event. When these participants receive recognition for their deeds, they become more willing to take part in your future hackathons!
Virtual Badges can be used to expand your digital marketing reach! Give your participants a token that they will proudly share in their favorite social media channels. This user-generated content strategy boosts your event awareness directly within audiences that are more likely to be interested in becoming participants.

Great experience!
Working with FutureNext has been an amazing experience. The communication with their team has been excellent and their product "Virtual Badges" has a major impact on our digital visibility.
As a training company we educate, train and work with software and technology companies to improve their sales capacity and competence. With the Virtual Badges we not only create further brand awareness via LinkedIn but also generate immediate outreach effects.
Thank you for that and I can highly recommend their services!
A game changer!
Before the Virtual Badges we would manually create certificates upon request for the participants of our hackathons.
That was very time-consuming and didn't bring social shares.
Now, we have a tool that automatizes all the certificate-creation processes while being social media oriented. With share-rates above 50%, we can definitely say it is a game-changer!
Great social media presence
Here at Start, we use our corporate academy to support our sales representatives with product knowledge.
Once the virtual badges were implemented we saw a great leap in the number of collaborators that were actively using our corporate academy, simply because they would see their coworkers sharing the badges on social media.
It definitely does what it promises!
