Product launches / Storyboard

New product family launch storyboard

Give each product a specific role under one shared purpose. The family story should help viewers choose where to begin, not imply that every product automatically connects.

Who this is for: Launch teams planning a specific communication asset and its production handoff.

What to prepare

  • Approved product names and roles
  • Verified relationships and availability
  • A shared user task
  • Evidence for each product's contribution

Scene-by-scene storyboard

60-second planning sequence · illustrative copy and visual direction

    0–7s

    Introduce the shared purpose

Product roles
Give each product one distinct supported job.
Relationships
Separate verified connections from manual handoffs.
Availability
State per-product differences accurately.

Avoid a family feature wall

The collect-review-handoff example is fictional. It illustrates distinct product roles, not an existing Animro suite or an automatic end-to-end integration.

A family map is useful when it clarifies purpose and relationships. Three nearly identical benefit cards would not help the viewer choose.

Adapt the number of products

For two products, use the released space to explain their boundary and the handoff. For more than three, focus this film on the core relationship and place detailed coverage in separate assets.

A 30-second version can introduce roles and the map without full demonstrations. Keep each role accurate rather than compressing several products into a single vague claim.

Verify family claims

Check naming, bundling, eligibility and access separately for each product. Shared branding does not establish shared pricing or availability.

If the map contains a manual step, show it. A line joining products can imply a supported integration even when no caption makes that claim.

Review checklist

  • Each product has a distinct role.
  • Connections are verified or labeled manual.
  • Availability is not generalized across the family.
  • The viewer has a clear starting point.
