AB Launch Anmeldelser 13

As a German startup, I wanted to launch a €25 gadget on Kickstarter. My goal was to see if it was worth launching and to test the market first. I would highly recommend this testing phase to any startup thinking about crowdfunding.

The Setup & The Results:
Andrea and his design team agreed on an individual budget with me and were incredibly helpful during the pre-launch testing phase. They created a professional, fast-loading landing page for the test. We ran Meta Ads and used the funnel to test our CPL (cost per lead) and CPD (cost per $1 deposit).

After about 3 weeks, these were our results:

CPL: Around €3 (a bit more than $3), which was okay.

CPD: Over €80.

Our original goal was to keep the CPL at €2.50 and the CPD at around $10. Since we missed these targets, it showed that launching my gadget on Kickstarter doesn't make financial sense right now. Additionally, because I don't have large social media channels yet, the campaign is likely not viable for me.

Working with AB & Lessons Learned:
The collaboration with AB was very professional, structured, fast, and reliable.

However, looking back, I learned a big lesson:
I shouldn't have invested money in the main Kickstarter video before doing the pre-launch test. To test the market, it would have been enough (and much cheaper) to just create a few short video- and photo ads and professional photos for the landing page. If the KPIs had been convincing later on, we could have invested in the big (and expensive) video production.

I had the pleasure of working with Andrea and the AB-Launch team when Andrea engaged as an advisor at Natix Network.
Andrea is a creative powerhouse with a sharp brain for business - his ability to craft unique advertising concepts and ad copy is second to none. When it comes to product launches, he knows more than anyone in the game—he frequently identifies opportunities that others miss by thinking outside the box.
Andrea and his team are available, expert and really good at getting things done quickly and efficiently when needed. We worked with them to build the entire community and pre-launch strategy for NATIX, generating amazing metrics at our product launch, which empowered us (alongside many other things 😉 ) to build the incredible community we are today.

Beyond his expertise, Andrea is just a great person who is always available to provide guidance and consult on complex issues.

Highly Recommended!

A huge thank you to Andrea and the team at Ab-launch for their support on our s-arcade Kickstarter project (now S-ARGAME).
They weren’t just a service provider; they felt like part of the s-argame team. They took the time to understand the 'Spatial Augmented Gaming' concept and translated that into ads that actually performed. The communication was fluid, and they were always ready to give advice or optimize when needed. We hit way beyond our goals (>300K). Highly recommended for any creator looking to scale their project!

My business wouldn't exist without Andrea. I was recommended to AB Launch by a friend in common. He and his team supported me with my very first Kickstarter campaign. It was a great experience – they walked me through each step, helped me creating content, chose the right metrics and objectives for this campaign, and kept realistic expectations throughout. Thanks to the work we did together, my campaign was successful on Kickstarter, giving me the necessary resources to begin my side business. I can't recommend Andrea and his team enough.

We worked with the AB-Launch team on several Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns and passed our expectations every time: they are on top of their responsibilities, updated on tools and trends and always care for clients before anything else. Happy to be working together and running many more campaigns in the future!

Working with Andrea was a dream. Ended up raising close to $200k on a first timer tabletop campaign. The countless hours he puts in to understand your project and develop a plan around it is awesome instead of a generic template.

He is incredibly insightful and available around the clock, open to messages at anytime. Takes so much initiative to do so many of the things for you to take things off your plate.

Can’t recommend him enough!

I had the opportunity to work with Andrea on a kickstarter campaign for a new watch collection, the Normandie 1944 where we raised more than $380k. Andrea is always available, has a great vision and always helps. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to the next project.

AB launch was fundamental in creating and managing our very successfull Kickstarter campaign. Andrea's insights and suggestions were high-value before and and during the campaign. In this case we've also valued the importance of discussing the structure and the tools (ads, teasers, campaign aids) prior to the implant of the campaign itself, keeping everything in strict monitoring thereafter. We already planned a new collab with Andrea for an upcoming campaign!

AB brings method and vision to the game. The agency follows all the necessary steps, defining schedules and deliverables to meet the target, while shedding light on the venture’s challenges and opportunities and suggesting ways to address them.
Over the course of our journey, I experienced their full involvement and unwavering support.
Their professionalism and dedication make them a trusted partner in any venture.

I’ve been working with Andrea and the AB-Launch team, and it’s been a really positive experience. The team is knowledgeable, supportive, and extremely well prepared. They provide constant support, solid strategic advice, and deliver real results. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to approach crowdfunding seriously. Andrea, the founder, is an exceptional person and a true professional.

Worked with this agency for a new product launch and they quickly understood both the technical side and the business goals, turning rough ideas into a clear, actionable plan. Throughout the campaign they were responsive, data-driven and proactive in optimizing the strategy, which led to higher visibility and better quality leads than previous launches. Highly recommend them as a marketing partner if you want a hands-on team focused on real, measurable results.

Andrea has been a trusted, collaborative partner with our agency on several marketing projects over the last few years. His is thoughtful, diligent, communicative and level headed. We have benefited from his knowledge of marketing, and look forward to future collaborations.

my campaign (LITO CASE) raised $100k+ on Kickstarter and Andrea became a lifetime supporter of my entrepreneurial endeavours!
