Sponsor

Pro Filmmaker Apps has been a resource for over 1 million filmmakers worldwide and counting, as well as a pro-bono labor of love at FWD:labs since 2008.

Originally a side project funded via commissions from Apple's now-obsolete affiliate program, we're now looking for sponsor(s) to help be that win-win for app developers and this project.

Currently, we can offer a sponsor the following choices:

  • Dedicated buy-out (e.g. only sponsorship visible) -OR- shared with other sponsors (e.g. mini group randomization)
  • Direct outbound link to one app store listing -OR- our multi-link listing page
  • Single week -OR- multi-term durations

Placement wise, the sponsor is shown in an unobtrusive 1:1 block above or close to the viewport "fold" on:

  • Our home page
  • Device specific page (where applicable)
  • Tag specific page (where applicable)

Here is an example on the grid:

Example Page Headline

For example, if your app is on iOS, it can be on our iPhone and iPad pages. If your app is for camera assistants, it can be on our Camera Assistants page.

This is all in addition to the current listing, which is ranked by last updated in our system. Sponsors can get their listings refreshed to also benefit from top placements, as long as their app actually posted an update in the Apple or Google app store.

We only accept sponsors who are already in our database, so if it's good enough to be in our listings, then it's an option for our spot. This ensures a level of quality for both users and developers.

Visually, the ad unit size is 200x200. We can display the app store logo as we host them already or a sponsor-provided 1:1 PNG/GIF/MP4 that's acceptable to our aesthetics and hosted on our server. We also will display the app name and an adjacent label simply identifying sponsored content (to be compliant with the FCC). We also track and can share ad views vs. ad clicks to be transparent about the sponsorship's effictiveness as brand awareness and/or conversions. We also may experiment with similar, smaller size placements for no additional cost to find the right balance with attention grabbing without hindering utility.

As a courtesy, at this time, we won't display sponsored ads on our app listings, whether or not its a competing app. But in spots where visitors are searching and browsing, absolutely.

If you'd like to discuss rates and dates, app developers/owners should contact info@profilmmakerapps.com.

Thank you for your interest in supporting our effort!
