How it started vs. How it's going

When we first started working together, the Olo Band team was in full on fire-fighting mode. While the team generally understood the big picture goals (generate hype, sell products) they did not have a plan in place for how they would achieve those goals.

Our Go-to-Market Roadmap organized all of the activites and tasks that the team would execute - and the tactics we would use - to bring their product to market. The GTM strategy combined

  • market research & competitive analysis
  • customer development & user research
  • brand assets, messaging & positioning
  • demand genereation tactics
  • pricing strategy
  • sales & marketing channels
  • deadlines, budgets, and project management
  • succes metrics & tracking systems
  • digital advertising audiences & creative briefs
  • website edits
  • email campaigns
  • influencer marketing plan
  • brick & mortar, wholesaler outreach
