Choice Campaign

The European Commission has ruled that users of a Windows PC in Europe who are still browsing the Web with IE browser will see a Browser Choice screen to make an active choice for a new browser.

In conjunction with the settlement and the "ballot screen" and the "browserchoice.mozilla.org" (See bug 537227) projects, Mozilla's Marketing community will launch the "Open To Choose" campaign to promote further awareness about the choice users have. The campaign will function primarily as a blogging campaign on a new Mozilla website.

The domain will be: opentochoice.org

Goals

• Make people aware of browser choice and why it’s important
  • Ensure people can actively make an informed choice – “Rock the Vote”
• Create or amplify association with a Web that has human values
  • Start a longer-term story arc, provide on-ramps for people to engage with Mozilla

Strategy

• Lead by our beliefs: we’re helping people take control over their experience and be who they want to be
• Create a strong high-level core framework that enables local autonomy

Website

• Page will be hosted at opentochoice.org (.com and .net have also been purchased).
• Bug to get url on Moz servers: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=545957 (probably need a cert for WP logins)
• Design is being done by Sean Martell.
• Development will be out sourced to Zemoga. See below.
• V1.0 wireframes: https://wiki.mozilla.org/File:Moz_choice_wireframes_100217_revised.PDF

Community Participation

Please join the Choice POWER Team to ensure that all over Europe are aware of the Browser Choice screen and how important it is to choose the browser. More details and sign up can be found here.

Communications Strategy

The overall goal of our Open To Choice campaign is to raise awareness among Web users in Europe about the importance of making informed choices about the software and services they use to access the Internet. It launches at a time when an estimated 190 million of Europeans in 32 countries will be asked to make an active choice about which Web browser will act on their behalf to broker their online experiences.

Our overall communications strategy will focus on PR, Media and Community engagement (including Social Media). See here for complete details.
