Product Launch Marketing: The Complete Pre-Launch Checklist

Product Launch: Creating a Moment, Not Just a Release

A product launch is an orchestrated event, not just a release date. The best launches build anticipation, activate multiple channels simultaneously, and create momentum that extends beyond day one. Design Agency designs and executes product launch campaigns for clients.

90-Day Launch Timeline

90 days before: Finalise positioning and messaging, identify launch target audience, begin building waitlist or email list, start teaser content on social media.

60 days before: PR outreach to key publications, influencer partnerships confirmed, landing page live with lead capture, email nurture sequence built for waitlist.

30 days before: Intensify teaser content, press embargo with key journalists, paid media creative produced and approved, support team briefed on launch FAQ.

Launch week: Day 1 — Email blast, social posts, press release live. Days 2–3 — Influencer content published. Days 4–7 — Paid media amplification. Monitor and respond to all social conversation.

Building Pre-Launch Momentum

Waitlist strategy: Collect emails before launch — people who register commit psychologically. Offer an incentive (early access, launch discount, exclusive content).

Teaser content: Product detail reveals one element per week, "Coming soon" social content, behind-the-scenes development stories, countdown timers.
