Overview:

You’ll be working on a stealth startup tackling a real safety issue affecting young people across London. Your mission is to support our go-to-market and community engagement strategy as we prepare for launch. The product itself will be revealed only to key partners, so discretion is essential.

o Propose a marketing strategy tailored to safety-conscious Gen Z audiences.

2. Community & Partnerships

o Build connections with student unions, university societies, and campus influencers.

o Identify 5–10 top societies per university (e.g., sports, nightlife, student media) to approach.

o Help craft outreach messages and book introductory calls.

3. Pricing & Pre-orders

o Research similar safety and lifestyle products for price anchoring.

o Suggest pricing tiers that would work for students (inc. bundle/group pricing).

o Help design and test a pre-order landing page (no product details revealed).

o Gather expressions of interest and pre-orders through university channels.

4. Distribution & Fulfilment

o Investigate best delivery options: university pick-up points, mailboxes, on-campus lockers, or direct to home.

o Explore low-cost fulfilment logistics in London, focusing on student convenience.

o Propose a hybrid model for both local and remote deliveries.
