Who this is for

The marketing half of a product launch, in 24 tasks — audience definition, messaging, channel planning, content production, and measurement. Use it when the product is handled and the open question is how anyone will hear about it. It works as a standalone plan or alongside the Comprehensive Product Launch Plan, which covers the operational side.

The order matters more than usual here

Messaging comes before channels, and channels come before content. That sequence is deliberate and it's the one teams most often invert — commissioning a video or booking ad spend before anyone has written down who the product is for and what it replaces in their life.

When you skip straight to production, you get assets that look finished but say nothing specific, and you find out only after they've been paid for. Spend the first block of tasks getting positioning to something you could defend in a sentence. Everything downstream gets faster once that exists.

Budget and measurement

The tasks around budget allocation and success metrics look like paperwork and get treated that way. They aren't. Deciding in advance what a successful launch looks like — sign-ups, qualified leads, revenue, whatever fits — is what lets you tell in week two whether to double down or change course. Without it you'll be reading the same numbers and arguing about what they mean.

Suggested timing

Six to eight weeks of lead time for a substantial launch. Add due dates if you're coordinating freelancers or agencies, whose availability you don't control and who need firm dates well in advance.
