• Soft launch / beta: Narrower channel strategy; focus on feedback collection over awareness
• Competitive response launch: Accelerated timeline; focus on differentiation messaging
• Enterprise feature: Focus on sales enablement and account-based outreach over broad marketing
• International expansion: Localize messaging; adapt channels for market norms
