| ===Modules===
| |
| The different tasks that members can perform upon joining the Marketing Collective are regrouped in functional areas called Modules. Each module is owned by one or several Module Owner(s) - Mozilla employees with expertise on that area:
| |
|
| |
| * <b>Content Coordination</b>: create, localize and coordinate local Mozilla content for blogs, newsletter and other marketing channels.
| |
| * <b>Social Media</b>: building and maintaining Mozilla's social media presence in your country and language. Tasks here will include localizing content from our English Facebook and Twitter accounts, creating new local content, implementing social media campaigns locally or finding new campaign concepts.
| |
| * <b>Add-ons & Apps Curation</b>: identify, localize and spread popular add-ons, apps and reviews in your country.
| |
| * <b>Market Intelligence</b>: analyze, watch, identify and understand the market. This means to be the eyes and the ears of Mozilla in your region. Examples include reporting new competitors' campaigns, new market data and research.
| |
| * <b>Product Marketing</b>: adapt product and brand messaging locally, support and promote product releases, imagine new campaign concepts for your country and build user community around our products.

| |
| ===Activities===
| |
| The Marketing Collective schedule is comprised of different types of activities, categorized by nature and recurrence:
| |
|
| |
| * <b>Recurring Tasks</b>: these tasks need to be performed regularly (usually weekly or monthly) and are usually assigned to specific contributors. Example: localization of our monthly Newsletter, flagging new campaign launched by competitors
| |
| * <b>Special Assignments</b>: unique tasks that only need to be performed once. These tasks will be part of "weekly sprints" and usually be more time-sensitive and temporary priorities. Examples: event planning, release promotion, campaign promotion, product messaging adjustments.

| |
| ===Schedule and Planning===
| |
| We are using a sprint-based approach inspired by the SCRUM methodology in order to plan, coordinate and track progress:
| |
|
| |
| * <b>Sprints</b>: the standard period of time during which all activities (special assignments and recurring tasks) are assigned and completed. Ahead of a sprint, all proposed activities get submitted and prioritized against each other by the Program Lead and Module Owners.
| |
| * <b>To-Do List</b>: all activities that must be performed during a sprint. They include Recurring Tasks and Special Assignments. Larger activities can be broken down into smaller ones and spread over several sprints

| |
| ==Roles==
| |
| There is a number of different stakeholders in the Marketing Collective program. They can be classified according to their responsibilities and involvement:
| |
|
| |
| *<b>Volunteer</b>: a volunteer performs marketing activities in their country. New volunteers can be assigned to a mentor to learn the basic skills required to achieve autonomy.
| |
|
| |
| *<b>Mentor</b>: This person helps new volunteers gain skills required by in the program. Mentors delegate tasks and coach new volunteers. Mentors can be a volunteer, a Rep, a Regional Lead or an employee.
| |
|
| |
| *<b>Regional Lead</b>: a regional lead represents all members of the Marketing Collective in a given region at meetings, calls and summits where attendance is limited. The can also advise contributors and mentors in their region.
| |
|
| |
| *<b>Module Owner</b>: a Mozilla employee with expertise on a given functional area. The Module Owner submits Recurring Tasks and Special Assignments - sorted by workload and urgency - to be performed by volunteers during a sprint. Module Owners work together with the Program Lead to prioritize the Sprint To-Do List and provide volunteers with training, directions and assistance over the course of the sprint.
| |
|
| |
| *<b>Program Lead</b>: leads and coordinates the Marketing Collective program. The Lead works with Module Owners to plan and coordinate activities and acts as a facilitator for volunteers. This person also moderates the program's communication channels, hosts meetings and calls.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Perform any of these roles doesn't mean that you have to work an exactly amount of hours or that you have to follow an agenda everyday. What you do in the Marketing Collective is a voluntarily donation of your time. Everyone is free to choose the projects where they want to contribute accordingly to their preferences and availability of time.
