Strategic Project work

Go-To-Market
Planning

Strategic planning and execution support for product launches, market entries, and commercial pivots. Built around how your buyers actually make decisions, not how you would like them to. It covers the full scope: positioning, audience targeting, channel planning, launch messaging, sales enablement, and live execution support.

The problem this solves

Most launch failures are strategic, not executional.

You have something significant coming. A new product, a new market, a relaunch, or a pivot that changes how the business positions itself commercially.

More often than not, a poor launch is the result of unclear positioning, an audience that was assumed rather than validated, a channel mix that was inherited from the last campaign, and messaging that says what the business wants to say rather than what the buyer needs to hear. This engagement builds that plan, before execution begins.

What the work involves

Built around how your buyers actually make decisions.

The distinction between a GTM plan and a general marketing plan is specificity. This is built around a specific audience, a specific moment, and a specific commercial objective. It accounts for the objections and friction your buyers will encounter and gives your commercial team exactly what they need to sell the product.

01

Define the market opportunity: who buys, why they buy, and what objections or friction you will encounter

02

Develop positioning specific to the launch – separate from but consistent with your broader brand

03

Define the target audience for the launch with precision: role, sector, decision-making stage, and trigger

04

Build the channel and campaign plan for the launch period, including sequencing and timing

05

Develop launch messaging across all required formats: web, email, sales, social, and collateral

06

Create a sales enablement framework so your commercial team can sell the product effectively

07

Define launch KPIs and the success criteria you will measure against

08

Provide execution support and oversight during the live launch period

Investment and timeline

Scoped to the complexity of the launch.​

Investment

Scoped per engagement. Price varies with launch complexity, number of markets, and level of execution support required. 

Timeline

4-8 weeks. Timeline varies with scope and complexity – confirmed at proposal stage. 

How it starts

A pre-engagement conversation to confirm scope, timeline, and whether a Marketing Strategy engagement is a better first step.
