01 / Angle
Launch story
The core idea, the hook and the one line you want people to repeat, tested before anything is designed.
Launch strategy & campaigns
Brand launch strategy for moments people want to talk about
Launch calendars, reveal hooks, landing stories and creative that turns curiosity into action, planned in focused 14-day sprints.
The short version
A launch needs a story before it needs a calendar
Most launches fail quietly. Not because the product is weak, but because nobody knows why they should care yet. A good brand launch strategy starts with the angle people already want to talk about, then builds the calendar around it.
We plan the build-up, the reveal and the follow-through across social, your website, ads, PR and partners, so every touchpoint tells the same story at the same time.
And because a launch isn’t a single day, we plan what happens in week two, when the noise dies down and the real selling starts.

FAQs
How far ahead should we plan a launch?
Ideally six to eight weeks before launch day, so there’s time for the story, creative and build-up. If you’re closer than that, a 14-day sprint can still get you a focused launch kit.
What’s in a launch kit?
The launch story and key lines, a day-by-day calendar, social and ad creative, landing page copy, and briefs for PR or creators, all in one place for your team.
Do you run the ads for the launch too?
Yes. Our performance team plans and runs Google and Meta ads for launch week, so the creative and the media work together.
Can you help with festive campaigns like Diwali?
Yes. Festive campaigns are launches in disguise: crowded, short and high-stakes. We plan them early and look for an angle that isn’t just another discount.
Do you work with influencers and creators?
We help you choose and brief creators who fit your brand, and plan how their content fits into the wider launch.
