01

Brief

Start with the job, not the channel.

A new independent café is opening in four weeks. The marketing should answer the practical questions first — where, when, what makes it worth visiting — then build anticipation without drowning people in repetitive launch posts.

02

Plan

Give every piece of marketing the same job.

One simple launch message carries through search, web, social and email. Practical details stay consistent; creative changes by channel without changing the promise.

Complete local listing basics and opening information.

Build one useful opening page with menu highlights, accessibility and directions.

Create a four-week social sequence: introduce, prove, remind, invite.

Offer an optional email sign-up with clear permission wording.

03

Create

What the customer could actually see.

The creative should feel warm, local and useful. Each touchpoint has one obvious next step instead of trying to say everything at once.

SocialOpening soon — come and meet your new local coffee stop.

Behind the scenes, first-menu previews and practical opening details lead into one clear invitation.

Landing page

Your new neighbourhood café opens Saturday

Opening times, location, menu highlights, accessibility, parking/transport and one clear call to action.

Plan your visit

EmailSubject ideaWe open Saturday — here’s what to expect

A short launch email for people who chose to hear from the café, with useful details rather than a wall of promotion.

04

Launch

Join the touchpoints together.

The launch sequence should build confidence as opening day approaches, then switch quickly from “coming soon” to reasons to return.

  1. Four weeks out: local profile and opening page live.
  2. Three weeks out: introduce people, place and story.
  3. Two weeks out: menu/product proof and practical FAQs.
  4. Opening week: reminders, directions and clear visit CTA.
  5. After launch: retain useful evergreen information and build repeat reasons.
05

Measure

Look at the outcome, not just the noise.

Likes are context, not the finish line. The useful question is whether local people found the information, acted on it and came back.

Demonstration only: no result shown here is a claim about a real customer. We would agree useful measures for the actual job before work starts.

Creative direction

See the campaign as a joined-up system.

These are branded demonstration layouts, not screenshots from a real customer account.

Useful information, proof and a clear next action work together instead of competing for attention.
