Agency selection: Go-to-market strategy
Market entry starts with decisions about whom to sell to, what to offer and how to test demand. A strategy engagement should turn research into a practical launch sequence with explicit assumptions and decision points.
When this service fits
Entering a new market or launching a new offer.
What to prepare
Prepare the product, current customer profile, target countries, business constraints and any interviews or demand research already available.
What to include in the scope
- Research the target audience, competitors and existing alternatives.
- Adapt positioning and the offer to the selected geography.
- Prioritize acquisition channels and the assets needed for a first test.
- Define learning questions, responsibilities and criteria for the next step.
Work formats to discuss
These are ways to frame a brief. Confirm deliverables, responsibilities, timing and price with the agency before starting.

What to ask an agency
- Which assumptions need evidence before we spend on media?
- How will the research change the offer or channel plan?
- Who will translate recommendations into the launch backlog?
How to discuss the budget
We do not show fixed budgets because international lead generation depends on market, niche, competition, channel mix, offer, landing pages, analytics and sales process. Instead, the index uses a relative price level to show how each agency is positioned without turning the page into a fixed pricing table.

Questions about this service
Is a strategy document enough to launch?
Only if it specifies actions, owners and what has to be validated. Ask how implementation and measurement connect to the recommendations.
Can the same plan cover several countries?
A shared framework can help, but assumptions about demand, language, competition and operations should be checked for each selected market.
