Introducing the [Your App Here] Advertising Campaign

Developers often ask us “how can Microsoft help me promote my app?”
Beyond looking at the best practices we published, we’ve heard you, and as a result have launched a program called [Your App Here].

The goal is to highlight great applications and give them a chance to shine. The program is available to developers in the United States.

Here’s the overview of the [Your App Here] program:

• Each month from December through February, up to seven apps will be selected and promoted in campaigns created and funded by Windows Phone.
• The prize: Winning apps will be featured in a digital Windows Phone advertising campaign, with banner ads and up to one million ad impressions across the MSN Network of sites. During the campaign, apps will also get a featured placement on the Windows Phone Marketplace.

Deadlines:

• 10/25 – For December 2011 Campaign Consideration
• 11/16 – For January 2012 Campaign Consideration
• 12/22 – For February 2012 Campaign Consideration
