Createathon — Year 25
One day a year, our entire creative team stops working for our clients and starts working for yours — free of charge. On Thursday, October 15, 2026, from 8am to 8pm, we're clearing the calendar for a limited group of local nonprofits.
This is a great opportunity to get professional marketing work done for your organization — completely free of charge. We're accepting a limited number of participants this year, so choose what matters most when you apply.
Createathon began in 1998, when Teresa Coles and Cathy Monetti of Riggs Partners, an advertising agency in Columbia, South Carolina, decided to find out whether a creative team could actually pull off a full-scale marketing marathon — for charity. It could. In 2002, that single event grew into a national network, and in 2014 Createathon became a designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
Today, Createathon connects more than 100 partner agencies, universities, and creative organizations across the country — including Sales Factory — who each host their own creative marketing marathons to deliver free, professional marketing work to local nonprofits.
