Firefox Fights For You - Video Challenge
The Firefox Fights for You campaign, launched at the start of Dec 2018, with a set of compilation videos where people “tell our story together” in 3 languages (English, German, French). We got amazing submissions from so many teams. Read the winners announcement and watch the mash-up of the videos!
Results: 15 submissions
The Mash-Up Video
The effort resulted in 15 submissions and the team awarded a prize for best brand alignment to the video from Indonesia; and, it awarded a prize for popularity (based on video views and hashtag reach) to the video from Tamil Nadu (India). Awarding prizes was tough, though, as there the other submissions, including from Taiwan and Palestine, were also loved.
„45 people jumped in to record new videos in three languages, you can see the passion of everyone who participated. While the videos are short, we have hours of footage we will use in the future.“
