Launch Strategy

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Plan product launches, feature releases, and go-to-market campaigns that build momentum.

Branding

• Guides you through discovery questions to define your positioning statement
• Creates a brand voice framework with specific traits and example sentences
• Provides checklists for naming, taglines, logo requirements, and visual direction
• Generates a full brand guidelines document with colors, typography, and usage rules
• Runs quality checks to ensure your brand is distinctive and applicable across channels

Launch Strategy

• Creates phased launch plans from internal testing through full public release
• Structures marketing across owned (email, blog), rented (social media), and borrowed (partnerships) channels
• Provides Product Hunt launch strategies including pre-launch prep and day-of tactics
• Suggests launch touchpoints like customer emails, in-app announcements, and social posts
• Recommends ways to build waitlists, early access programs, and invite-only momentum
