Launch Strategy
Structure product launches with the ORB Framework across owned, rented, and borrowed channels
What You Can Do
You can structure complete launch strategies that coordinate across multiple channels simultaneously. This skill helps you map out phased rollouts from early beta access through public announcement, identify which channels to prioritize based on your audience, and create momentum by sequencing announcements strategically. You'll develop concrete launch timelines, channel-specific messaging, and tactics to drive both initial awareness and sustained engagement throughout your launch period.
