We’ll also be getting these posted to the page advertised at the end of the videos, www.firefox.com/tv.
In addition, we’ve posted more of a schedule, covering the first week (of six) airtimes and channels.
Stay tuned for further updates!
Firefox Flicks is finally on TV! Thanks to you, our community, for being instrumental in bringing the Firefox message to the airwaves! Over the next six weeks, four Flicks will reach millions of people in Boston and San Francisco.
During this initial run, Billy’s Browser, Daredevil, This is Hot, and Web for All are the featured Flicks. You will be able to download the full as-seen-on-TV version very soon from the Flicks website.
A partial schedule has been posted for the Boston area through Wednesday this week which shows date, time, and cable channel. Pick out a time, make yourself some popcorn, and enjoy the view. San Francisco will be posted shortly, and we’ll continue to post updates with the complete schedule over the next few days.
Stay tuned!
You’re getting the word here first! We’ve only got 72 spots available spread across 4 ads — 18 per ad, so hurry over to our Community Sponsorship page and sign up to be a part of history!
update: We’re all full! Amazing how fast it goes when the story gets on Digg.
We’re getting very close to opening up the Firefox Flicks Fan Sponsorship program. If you’d like to be one of the people featured on TV in our first test airing of Flicks on TV, stay tuned.
We’re getting closer and closer to seeing Firefox Flicks on TV! We wanted to share some more details with you about where and when some of the Flicks-turned-TV-ads will appear and who is helping us to put them there.
For starters, Flicks will run in both Boston and San Francisco during the holiday season on selected cable channels like Comedy Central, ESPN, TNT, History Channel, USA, and MTV. Both Boston and San Francsco were chosen because of their large number of cable households and likelihood to contain a high proportion of savvy web users. For those of you who don’t live in either area, we’ll have the Flicks as they appear on TV posted on a page to share. Also, once we have the full schedule, we’ll let you know approximately when and where a Flick will appear. Eventually, based on the success of this initial program, we would like to roll Firefox Flicks out to many more regions in order to spread Firefox to all parts of the US!
In order to help bring Flicks to TV, we’ve partnered with Spot Runner, the first Internet-based ad agency that makes it really easy for companies like Mozilla to advertise on TV. Spot Runner does TV advertising — commercial production, media planning and buying. They are going to help us buy the actual air-time and get each selected Flick ready for its TV debut!
Stay tuned — there is much more to come over the next couple of weeks, including more details about how you can see your name on TV.
