GTM Strategy

Position in workflow: v0.8 Monitoring Setup → v0.9 GTM Strategy → v0.9 Launch Metrics

Purpose

Define how the product reaches its target users—the channels, messaging, timing, and coordination required for a successful launch.

Core Concept: Launch as Campaign

A launch is not "making the product available." It is a coordinated campaign that creates awareness, drives activation, and captures feedback. Every touchpoint should move users toward value.

GTM Components

Execution

1. Review target personas

- Pull PER- from v0.4 - Understand where they spend time - Know what messages resonate

1. Define core messaging

- Value proposition (from CFD- value hypotheses) - Positioning (from BR- product type) - Key differentiators (from v0.2 competitive landscape)

1. Select launch channels

- Match channels to personas - Prioritize by reach and conversion potential - Consider owned, earned, and paid media

1. Plan launch timeline

- Pre-launch: Build anticipation - Launch day: Maximum impact - Post-launch: Sustain momentum

1. Assign ownership

- Who creates content? - Who monitors channels? - Who handles support surge?

1. Create GTM- entries with full traceability
