Product Launch Framework
The foundation of the BrainKraft Product Launch System is the BrainKraft Product Launch Framework. It contains the structure to plan and execute a successful product launch. Every. Single. Time.
​
A product launch is more than a product and a marketing campaign. It's the most cross-functional activity a company undertakes. Doing it right takes discipline, creativity, and structure.
​
Our framework embraces the full life cycle of a product launch. From organizing the launch team. Defining launch objectives. Understanding the market environment. Communicating a unique value proposition. Developing a launch strategy. Preparing the company, partners, and market. To accelerating to achieve launch objectives.
Product Launch is More Than a Processes
A common misconception is that a product launch is a process. It's really an organized collection of processes.
​
Each circle - or donuts as we call them - is a unique process. And each of these processes is interwoven with other processes.

Why circles?
​
Circles represent iteration and agility. The process of planning and executing a successful product launch is never a straight line. Every activity introduces new variables, new insight, and quick changes.
​
A waterfall launch process is rigid, slow, and cumbersome to yield the kind of results needed for a fast-moving product launch.
