About Launch
Simply put - we act as your Marketing team on a fractional basis.
​
While an internal staff means having a full-time resource(s) in-house to perform marketing tactics, it's highly unlikely you'll find someone that brings a full suite of skills to do everything that needs to be done. Additionally, salaried employees come with a high cost, additional overhead, and reduced flexibility.
​
Meanwhile, marketing agencies provide deep creative talent, they are expensive and often silo'd. While they can help you with specific projects or a the creation of a campaign, they can't effectively help with the day-to-day marketing executions that typically matter most.
​
Launch bridges that gap. We operate as a member of your team, then leverage our talent network to tactically execute as required.
​
It's a freelance economy - the talent pool is thin, agencies are expensive, but we're here to provide a solution.
