- Organise a core team with clearly allocated roles. In our case, it was our Head of Social (activation & copy strategy) and myself as Head of Brand & Design (creative & campaign strategy and project management).
- Team up with someone who is proactive and not afraid of giving you constant feedback on your area of expertise.
- 1 Miro board to work on concept, strategy and rollout was crucial. A PH launch is hard work, so having a super clear and structured base to work from is easiest for everyone who needs information.
- Bi-weekly async slack check-ins. Write a short bullet point list with everything that still needs to be done that week. We were able to take tasks off each other more than once and speed things up.
- Get your entire team involved early on so everyone is ready on the day.
- Active everyone (and we mean everyone). Start activating a month earlier than you think you should.
- Invest in powerful visuals to help you translate your vision.
- Schedule the launch in advance, and take advantage of drumming up excitement.
- Make use of the full 24-hour launch cycle.
And mostly: enjoy and celebrate.
May it help someone else :)
