01 · Context

Context

The assignment required a practical launch plan that a small central team could coordinate across a global network.

Organisation

An international business organisation operating through National Committees around the world.

Objective

Launch a global e-commerce programme for SMEs and entrepreneurs.

Constraint

No paid digital marketing tools were available to the small launch team.

Approach

Use the organisation's existing network and owned channels as the communications infrastructure.

02 · The Plan

The Plan

The final plan combined communication channels, target audiences, ownership and a phased launch roadmap.

03 · Process

How the Strategy Was Built

The steps below show how the brief was translated into an operational plan.

04 · Original work

Inside the Strategy

Selected views from the original workbook show how audiences, ownership, execution and measurement were connected.

Target audiences

Identifying who enables the launch

The mapping separates internal delivery stakeholders from external audiences and defines the role or relevance of each group.

Communication strategy

Audience, ownership and follow-up

Each internal and external activity connects an audience to an owner, channel, follow-up action and expected outcome.

Marketing plan

Actions tied to measurement

Partnership, landing-page and campaign activities are paired with execution details, intended outcomes and success measures.

Launch timeline

Sequencing before and after launch

The roadmap aligns preparation, internal engagement, public launch activity and post-launch optimisation across six months.

05 · Delivery

Why the Plan Works

The plan was designed around the organisation's existing capacity and delivery structure.

Network Instead of Budget

The global network of National Committees and partners replaced paid reach.

Defined Ownership

Each communication activity had a named owner and delivery channel.

Sequenced Delivery

Internal alignment came before public communication and programme launch.

Ongoing Engagement

Newsletters, partnerships, content updates and optimisation continued after launch.
