What to do when content is no longer a competitive advantage in the attention era

Confirmed session at HackTown 2026 — Santa Rita do Sapucaí, MG

In the attention era, creating content is no longer enough. Ideas are copied quickly and most content is forgotten in seconds. The challenge becomes capturing, retaining and converting attention — that's where ToolMarketing comes in.

About the session

What you'll learn

A hands-on intermediate session across Strategy & Business, Sales & Performance, and Corporate AI tracks. You'll leave with a tool plan applied to a real or fictional company.

Why content lost its edge

With AI generating content at scale, the barrier to entry dropped to zero. Understand what changes in the attention game.

What ToolMarketing is and how it works

Turning content into active interaction: the tool solves a pain, drives recurring usage, and captures measurable intent.

Planning a tool in practice

You'll lead the planning of an applied tool — with pain, format, usage metric, and conversion point defined.

Tracks

Where this session fits at HackTown

The session spans three tracks because ToolMarketing is strategy, revenue generation, and practical AI application.

07 — Strategy, Business & Governance

Decision-making and competitiveness in environments where generic content stopped differentiating.

21 — Sales & Performance

Revenue through utility: tools that create recurring demand and convert with tracking.

03 — Corporate AI

Practical AI applications in marketing: automation, usage data, and efficiency in tool building.

Level

Intermediate — for those who know the basics and want to apply

The session assumes familiarity with digital marketing, strategy, or sales. The focus is practical application and critical thinking about the current landscape — not introductory theory.
