ICHACK 2026

IC Hack is Imperial College London’s annual 24 hour hackathon where hundreds of students come together to build, break and pitch bold ideas fuelled by caffeine and curiosity.

As event sponsors, we were there for the full ride capturing everything from late night tunnel vision, pizza fuelled problem solving and last minute pitches, to live demos, big reactions and final presentations.

That meant late night pitches, sleeping pranks, our random midnight challenge, meme prizes and the constant buzz that carried the weekend through. We focused on the real moments, the chaos, the creativity and the graft that filled IC Hack 26.

Fast paced high energy and just the right amount of unhinged it is exactly the kind of environment we love telling stories in. 🐔🔥

About this project

We’ve been proud sponsors of IC Hack since 2017, capturing the event from every angle across the weekend. From all-nighters and big ideas to final demos, our team delivers full photo and video coverage, turning around highlights and social-first content at speed to show off the energy, innovation, and creativity of the hackers.

This year, we levelled things up with a big focus on real-time social media. Alongside core coverage, we were creating and publishing reels and live highlights as the event unfolded, keeping the momentum rolling while IC Hack was still in full swing. Across two days, the content pulled in over 60,000 engagements, giving the hackathon a loud, lively, and very online presence.
