Blog Series: [Your App Here] Campaign – Introduction
Microsoft have recently announced a new advertising campaign that will showcase your Windows Phone 7 application if you win. This summary of what this entails:
- 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.
On this note I have decided to create a blog series on creating a Windows Phone 7 application from start to finish. Currently there are three deadlines that you can enter your application to:
10/25 – For December 2011 Campaign Consideration
11/16 – For January 2012 Campaign Consideration
12/22 – For February 2012 Campaign Consideration
The application that I will be creating will be for a passion of mine… restaurants and dining out.

- Blog Series: [Your App Here] Campaign – Introduction
