The process is the package: what is fixed is how we work (a scoping intake, a six-week sequence, a paired team, and a quality bar that does not move); what flexes is the mix of services inside it, scoped to the launch and never padded to fill a timeline. It is a packaged service offering, not an outcome promise. We commit to the work, the quality, the six-week timeline, and analytics that capture how the launch performs. We do not promise traffic, signups, or revenue. Previously called the Launch Sprint. **Best for:** Product teams with a market-ready product who need a partner for the launch around it. We launch what you have built; we do not teach you how to build. A fit when one or two people can make decisions and turn feedback inside 24 to 48 hours. Not a fit when you want to dictate a checklist, need months of internal alignment, or have not validated the product yet. **What's included (every Launch Program):** - A strategic foundation (who the launch is for, how it is positioned, what we measure it against) - Brand refinement (tightening the existing brand so it can carry the launch; a full brand from scratch is an add-on) - A live landing page, designed, built, and deployed on your domain - Two weeks of launch social creative (around 12 posts across two channels) - Ad creative for your primary ad platform - A standard GA4 install capturing baseline traffic and the conversion goals defined together in week one - A launch review at week eight (read how it went, capture a testimonial, recommend what is next) **Need more (scoped during intake):** additional pages or a full marketing site, a full Brand Program built from scratch, your brand applied to existing product screens, custom illustration or motion, email capture. **Not included:** building your product, running ad spend, managing channels after the support window, or new product flows and features. **Process (six weeks, staggered):** 1. **Week 1, Diagnose** — Learn the launch and decide what it needs. Scoping intake, strategy review, kickoff. 2. **Week 2, Direct** — Set the strategic foundation and start design. 3. **Week 3, Design** — First-pass landing page comps, brand hands off, creative into production. 4. **Week 4, Refine** — Iterate on feedback and build the core components. 5. **Week 5, Build** — Engineering integrates the final build and QA; code freezes a few days out for a stable launch. 6. **Week 6, Launch** — Site goes live, social rollout starts, and we stay with you through the first two weeks. Add a two-week Brand Program to the front for brand built from scratch, taking the timeline to eight weeks. **Engagement terms:** - Fixed scope, priced per launch on a discovery call. No public price, no retainer required. - You are in the room throughout: Figma files from day one, a weekly working session, and a shared Slack channel. We count on a 24 to 48 hour decision turnaround. - You own the work. Code transfers to your repository at the week-eight handoff, the same as the design files. - After launch: light maintenance on a retainer, a follow-on engagement, or a clean handoff. Your call. **Page:** https://heyo.is/lp/launch-program --- ## Featured Work (Detailed) ### Lamar Advertising Full brand overhaul for Lamar Advertising, one of the largest outdoor advertising companies in the world.
