01 / Launch direction · Example research brief

A clearer
way in.

A launch direction for Open Air, a fictional guide to getting outside more often. The goal: make a small outdoor break feel easy, welcoming, and worth keeping.

Illustrative strategy, not externally sourced market research. The audience and recommendations below are hypotheses to validate.

The brief, distilled.

Who

People with full days.

Start with people who want a break but don’t want another demanding routine.

What

A smaller first step.

Offer a short, local outdoor idea rather than a large lifestyle commitment.

Why now

Make room for a moment.

Use everyday occasions: a lunch break, the end of a workday, a quiet weekend.

Three ways to tell the story.

DirectionPromiseTrade-off
Adventure, simplifiedSomething new close to homeMay sound too ambitious for a small break
A little more open airA manageable moment outsideNeeds concrete examples to avoid vagueness
Your everyday resetA repeatable change of sceneCan sound like another productivity habit

Recommended direction: “A little more open air.” Lead with a small invitation, then show exactly what the first outing looks like.

What to validate before launch.

  1. Interview potential users about the last time they wanted a short outdoor break.
  2. Test whether the landing page communicates the offer without explanation.
  3. Check that suggested outings are suitable for the actual locations served.
  4. Confirm the offer, fulfilment, and privacy details before collecting signups.
