Strategic Project work

Go-To-Market
Planning

Strategic planning and execution support for product launches, market entries, and commercial pivots. Built around how buyers evaluate, compare, and make decisions in the real world, not assumptions about how the process should work. The engagement covers positioning, audience definition, 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, underperforming launches stem from unclear positioning, poorly defined audiences, inherited channel decisions, and messaging that does not align closely enough with buyer priorities or decision-making behaviour. This engagement builds the strategic foundation before execution begins.

What the work involves

Built around how your buyers actually make decisions.

A GTM plan is built around a specific commercial objective, a defined audience, and a clear market opportunity rather than broad ongoing marketing activity. It considers the objections, friction points, and decision-making factors buyers will encounter while ensuring your commercial team has the tools, messaging, and structure needed to sell effectively.

01

Define the market opportunity, including buyer motivations, purchasing triggers, objections, and potential friction points.

02

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

03

Define the launch audience with precision, including sector, role, buying stage, and key commercial triggers.

04

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

05

Develop launch messaging across all relevant channels and formats, including web, email, sales materials, social, and supporting 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

Each engagement is scoped individually based on launch complexity, number of markets involved, and the level of strategic and 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.
