Teaser, reveal and follow-up launch package

Use a connected package when the launch needs introduction, demonstration and a focused follow-up. Treat each segment as its own deliverable with enough context to stand alone.

Understand the package clock

The 60-second timeline describes three separate planning assets: 0–15 teaser, 15–45 reveal and 45–60 follow-up. Produce and review them as distinct cuts unless a continuous compilation is specifically wanted.

The request example is illustrative. The recipient-view follow-up requires its own source evidence and must not invent permissions.

Adapt the distribution jobs

The teaser introduces direction, the reveal explains the action and the follow-up answers a new question. Changing only dimensions or headlines would not create the same distinction.

If no useful follow-up evidence exists, choose a different supported question rather than recycling the reveal as an answer.

Review each deliverable

Each cut needs its own opening context and accurate closing action. Viewers may encounter them in any order.

Track shared scenes so later UI or availability changes reach every derivative. Check the actual final files individually rather than approving the package from a single source timeline.

Review checklist

  • The three cuts have distinct jobs.
  • Each cut stands alone.
  • The follow-up has independent evidence.
  • All final assets are reviewed separately.
