Feeling like your launches are always a last-minute scramble? In this episode, I sit down with Brenna McGowan—launch strategist and creator of Anticipation Marketing—to unpack how to build excitement (and even make sales!) before your cart opens.

If you're ready to market smarter, not harder, this conversation will change how you think about launching.

We explore:

• What Anticipation Marketing is and how it creates buzz, trust, and sales before launch day
• How to use content to guide your audience through the “consideration phase” and spark demand
• Creative ways to tease offers, build curiosity, and pre-sell without the pressure
• Why longer runways (not longer sales periods) are key in today’s buyer climate
• Tips for building trust with transparency, empathy, and early engagement—without burning out
