Business Launch
Foundry is our full-service launch programme for founders building from scratch. Brand, website, social, launch campaign, and operational playbook built concurrently, so nothing waits on anything else.
01The honest version
Most launch consultants hand you a strategy document and step back. We stay in the room. We've opened restaurants, managed pre-opening campaigns, coordinated fitout timelines, and stood at opening night service. That experience changes how we build launch plans.
Foundry was built for founders who don't want to manage seven different agencies and a production spreadsheet at the same time. One team. One plan. One opening date. We've pressure-tested more than a few concepts before a dollar of fitout was spent, and sometimes the most valuable thing we can do is tell a founder to wait.
02What's included
D01
Concept validation, market sizing, competitive landscape analysis, and an honest read on whether the idea is worth building. We've told founders their concept won't work, and saved them from expensive mistakes.
D02
Opening campaign strategy, pre-launch content plan, soft launch and grand opening execution framework, built backwards from your opening date. Everything lands when it should.
D03
Full brand development included in Foundry (strategy, naming, visual identity, verbal identity, and brand guidelines) built concurrently with your digital presence and marketing setup.
D04
Website, Google Business, social accounts, and local SEO, all set up and live before opening day. Your venue exists online before it opens. That's how pre-opening momentum works.
D05
Pre-opening content, influencer seeding, paid media, soft launch event management, and grand opening coordination. Built to fill covers from day one, not week four.
D06
Monthly strategic sessions, performance reviews, quarterly planning, and an embedded sounding board after opening. We stay in the fight, because the work doesn't stop at opening night.

Ideally 6–9 months before opening. That gives us time to complete brand development, build your digital presence, run a proper pre-opening campaign, and have the machine working before opening night. Shorter timelines are possible (we've launched in 14 weeks), but something has to compress.
Yes. Go-to-market strategy and launch campaign management are available as standalone engagements. If you already have a brand and a website, we can scope a launch programme around what you actually need.
Most Foundry clients move to a Catalyst retainer, our ongoing growth programme covering social, paid media, and strategy. The transition is seamless because we already know your brand, your market, and your metrics.
