Flight Path: Implementation

Turning Aerospace Strategy Into Real-World Traction

A clear strategy is essential, but traction only happens when that strategy is brought to life.
Implementation Projects are where The Launch Strategist translates your vision into concrete action, momentum and measurable commercial progress.

For aerospace organisations navigating a sector being shaped by AI, automation, AAM, new-space and sustainable flight, this is where growth becomes tangible.

If you’re ready to move from planning to progress, this is your next step.

Why Implementation Matters Now

The aerospace landscape is shifting at speed. Customers expect clarity. Investors expect readiness. Partners expect capability. And the organisations gaining ground are the ones that can execute, not just ideate.

Many engineering-led teams have strong technical foundations but limited commercial capacity. Others have great opportunity but lack the systems, messaging and market presence to capture it.

Implementation Projects exist to close that gap.

TLS provides hands-on execution built specifically for aerospace and space organisations, helping you build momentum quickly and sustainably, without losing focus on long-term strategy.

What Implementation Projects Deliver

Each engagement is tailored, but all projects are designed to strengthen your commercial capability, market presence and organisational readiness.

We support leaders with practical implementation in:

‍Commercial Development & Business Development Systems: Building repeatable, scalable processes for customer acquisition, BD pipelines, and partnership development.‍
Market Positioning & Strategic Messaging: Clarifying how you communicate your value, internally and externally, to attract customers, investors and partners.‍
Strategic Communications & Content Strategy: Strengthening your external presence through sector-relevant messaging, thought leadership and narrative alignment.‍
Capability Building for Teams: Upskilling internal teams to ensure long-term momentum across BD, marketing and strategic communication.‍
Customer Acquisition Infrastructure: Setting up systems, workflows and tools that support predictable commercial traction.‍
Partnership & Investor Development: Positioning your organisation for meaningful collaborations with OEMs, supply-chain partners, accelerators and investors.‍
Proposal, Bid & Funding Support: Enhancing your chances of winning bids, tenders or investment through stronger narrative, structure and strategic alignment.

did you know

Many aerospace companies lose up to 40% of potential revenue simply because they lack the systems, messaging and processes to convert opportunities into traction.

How Implementation Projects Work

‍ Flight Path Strategy Session: Every implementation project begins with a Flight Path, a 90-minute session that clarifies your biggest barrier, your immediate priorities and the right scope of work.‍
Project Scoping: We outline the actions, deliverables and timelines required to create momentum in the areas that matter most.‍
Hands-On Delivery: TLS works directly with your leadership and teams to execute the project, build capability and create measurable progress.‍
Review & Next Steps: We review outcomes, refine what’s needed next and determine whether continued support or a broader transformation programme is the right fit.

‍

The Result

Add Fire Power

"

Katrina really helped our business and mentored our Marketing Manager for several months. During this time she gave us a better structure and helped our marketing team to be more effective. Whilst her specialism is start ups, she also added significant value to our BAU. Would highly recommend to anyone needing input to either add fire power to your existing team or to give you support if you’re launching a new business or product line. She is a pleasure to work with.

Knows Aerospace

Katrina of The Launch Strategist was great in breaking the process of marketing down into actions that can be taken. Her webinar provided a useful guide to being intentional in planning to get more out of your efforts. The Launch Strategist approach encourages a view of marketing which is a whole company effort and infuses everything you do. Katrina obviously understands the Aerospace industry in terms of its culture and challenges and had some valuable practical advice for building the profile and visibility of a company in the supply chain. She delivered her talk in an engaging and thought-provoking way with energy and humour.

absolute God-send

"

Katrina has been an absolute God-send. Her clear focus and professionalism are second to none. Thanks to Katrina our company's profile has risen significantly. She has helped us get from ideation to finally trading as a fully-fledged company. The insights that Katrina has assembled through the development of toolkits used in her 6P framework have set us on a path to commercial success. I'm still trying to nab her as my head of marketing and communications but she wants to continue to help as many people as possible launch their legacies. She's an amazing find and it's been an absolute blessing to work with her.

Strategic Thinker

"

Katrina Douglas successfully managed our UK marketing team for more than 4 years, and I have to admit that she is one of the best professionals I’ve had the privilege to manage. She is not only a highly competent marketer and a great strategic thinker, but she is also a very smart and ambitious business person, constantly fighting for success through hard work and determination. I also want to put into relief Katrina’s people skills, because she is a very respectful person, sensitive and open to others, who constantly shows her great ability to actively listen and to always find the right words. Katrina was appreciated by everyone everywhere and is definitely a great value for any company!

Methodical

"

Before we started working with The Launch Strategist, we had no roadmap for our content marketing. The strategy was there, but it was top level and we needed to turn that into something actionable. Katrina was great to work with, knowledgeable, methodical and understanding of our particular business needs. We now have confidence in the direction we are taking and a fully actionable plan to take our ideas, products and services to market.

I have been working with Katrina on many sales projects during the past years with 1&1. She has been a great partner supporting our efforts to get a field sales force going in the UK. I very much appreciated Katrinas hands on mentality and the great work in preparing sales material for our sales force. I specifically am very thankful for taking the lead in organizing the 1st attendance of 1&1 at the business Show in London. We were able to present ourselves in a very professional way thanks to her. I fully recommend Katrina and am happy to provide further info.
