Launch Comms & PR Plan

Shape the story for a launch and prepare for the hard questions.

You walk away with

A messaging plan, the headline you want, and the crisis answers ready.

What the council debates
Help us shape the communications for a launch or announcement, and stress-test the narrative.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT:
[what you are launching/announcing, and why now]
AUDIENCE: [who needs to hear it — customers, press, investors, staff]
THE GOAL: [what should change in people's minds or actions]

Debate:
1. The core message — the one thing people should remember.
2. The story arc — does it have a protagonist, a tension and a payoff, or is it a feature list.
3. The headline a journalist would actually write.
4. The hard questions and the bad-faith reading — what could go wrong out of context.
5. Channel and timing — who hears it first, and how it sequences.
6. The crisis scenario we have not prepared for.

FINAL SYNTHESIS:
- A tight messaging plan: core message, three supporting points, the proof.
- The headline we want versus the headline we fear, and how to close the gap.
- A short Q&A for the toughest questions, answered honestly.
