Drew worked on the team that launched the Panasonic Toughbook by driving a Hummer over it on live TV! 

That stunt turned heads, sure, but it also drilled the product’s promise into buyers’ brains: tough enough to survive anything. The best launches find that one thing that matters, makes it unforgettable, and builds everything else around it.

In this episode, Drew Neisser is joined by Guy Yalif (Webflow), Chris Pieper (ADP), and Ali McCarthy (Amplify Your Voice Studio) to talk about why great launches start with one magical thing: the product’s essence. 

In this episode:

• Guy shares how Webflow’s multi-product expansion demanded a rethink of what buyers really needed and why one-size-fits-all launches rarely succeed 

• Chris explains why the launch of ADP’s Lyric platform meant wrangling hundreds of voices into one clear story without losing focus on what matters 

• Ali breaks down why putting the customer’s pain first is key and why clarity always beats complexity

Plus: 

• Why understanding the customer’s pain points beats any feature checklist 

• Why selling everything at once kills momentum  

• How to keep the story tight so the team’s always on the same page 

• Why one person needs to own the launch story from start to finish

Tune in to hear how great launches find the product’s essence and turn it into a story buyers can’t ignore.
