Firefox Flicks Backstage

Be a part of history!

Thanks Firefox Fans! We’re all full. Stay tuned to Firefox Flicks, though, for your chance to participate in future sponsorship opportunities.

We’re live on TV. See a partial schedule here. More to come, soon.

One year ago, we launched the Firefox Flicks video program and hundreds of Firefox fans responded with some amazing Firefox 30-second ads. Millions of other fans viewed and shared the ads online. Now we’re taking it to the next level and airing them on television!

You can help us get the word out to even more people. Mozilla’s marketing and advertising budget is nowhere near our competitors but you all can help us stand out by sponsoring an ad and telling the world that you’re passionate about our cause and public benefit mission — to make the Web a better place for everyone. We’re still working out the economics, but doing lots of small ad buys like this can be quite inexpensive. Individually it might not seem like much, but just imagine if we are able to do hundreds of thousands of these?

So here’s your chance to be a part of history by joining in on the first test run. Our first TV test will work like this: With help from you all, we selected 4 ads to send to television. The first 72 sponsors to partner with Mozilla by adding $10 dollars to our Flicks ad fund will have their names appear on the air as part of actual ads.

We’re using this test to figure out how to make this all work and we’re already looking into other geographies, so if you’ve got suggestions or other feedback, we’d love to hear from you at this post. For more details, head over to the FAQ — but read quickly, because we’ve only got room for 72 people (18 for each ad) in this first test!

	Billy’s Browser Billy’s Browser, by Matthew Semel and Eric Modena, was an early favorite and offers a very humorous take on user customization. We’ve already got our 16 sponsors for this ad. Thanks for your support!
	Web for All Web for All, by Guy Clark, was also a popular favorite and mixes some humor not with our product features, but with our mission — to deliver a better Web experience to everyone. We’ve already got 16 sponsors for this ad. Thanks for your support!
	Daredevil Daredevil, by Pete Macomber, was the winning entry in the Firefox Flicks contest and has received amazing feedback. We think this ad fits the “Firefox lifestyle” quite well. We’ve already got our 16 sponsors for this ad. Thanks for your support!
	This is Hot This is Hot, by Danny Robashkin, was named as an honorable mention in the Firefox Flicks contest and has already been viewed more than a quarter of a million times online. We’ve already got 16 sponsors for this ad. Thanks for your support!
