Purpose
LaunchSquad partners with bright, visionary brands to help share the mission of and uncover stories about companies who are fundamentally changing the world. Through layered storytelling and strategic communications, we work to understand, absorb and expand upon a company’s stories. Our team aims to spread this information with the communities that need it most, demand attention, solve perception challenges, and build lasting engagement.
Vision
At LaunchSquad, we're on a journey to learn, grow and challenge ourselves every day. We help change-the-world companies craft and share their stories with audiences that matter. We engage with start-ups from their very first days, help reenergize established companies and develop new ways for brands large and small to forge connections with the audiences who matter most. Above all, we believe in our clients and our colleagues and the simple idea that great stories can change the world.
Mission
LaunchSquad lives and breathes stories of disruption and innovation. Our diverse team of communications professionals, journalists, writers, artists, strategists, filmmakers, and analysts get to the heart of your story and share it with the world through a mix of imagination and point of view. We believe in the impossible and tightly align our work with broader business objectives to grow companies.
Over the last 20 years, we’ve handcrafted countless programs for brands who are innovating in industries ranging from retail and municipal power, to talent management software and more. Our capabilities include expert media relations and thought leadership, content strategy and development, video concepts and production, social media, live/virtual experiences, and more.
As true strategic and integrated partners, our team works in a collaborative fashion but is hard-wired to think and execute proactively and autonomously. LaunchSquad is committed to constant real-time measurement: analyzing and optimizing our campaigns, switching gears on a dime and ensuring every campaign is delivering the highest possible impact. We thrive on results, and know our clients do too.
