The Consistency Corner: Lightening the Mental Load of Marketing

How to Build a 2026 Launch Calendar That Actually Converts (Without Burning Out)

Ruthie Sterrett | Marketing Strategist

Planning your content without a launch calendar is like driving without directions — you’re moving, but you’re not sure where you’re headed.

In this episode, Ruthie breaks down how to build a 2026 launch calendar that actually supports sales, protects your capacity, and eliminates the constant “what should I post?” stress. This isn’t just about launching new offers — it’s about understanding campaign seasons, pre-launch strategy, and intentional messaging so your content leads somewhere meaningful.

You’ll learn the difference between a launch vs. a campaign, why a 90-day runway matters (especially for service-based businesses), and how pre-pre-launch planning sets you up for calmer, more effective launches. Ruthie also shares how capacity plays a critical role in launch success — and why planning ahead gives you more freedom, not less.

If you’re a founder who wants your marketing to feel strategic instead of scattered — and you’re thinking ahead to 2026 — this episode will help you map a launch rhythm that feels aligned, sustainable, and conversion-focused.

✨ Ready to stop building the plane mid-air and start planning with confidence? This one’s for you.
