### Media Planner

Visually plan an issue of stories and track them from start to finish. Assign employees and outside contractors to job functions within the story, accessible over the internet, to offer the rest of the team a view into the content of an upcoming issue.

### Place Editorial Next to Advertising in Flat Plan

Once your stories are created, even before you have the final copy, you can place them into the Flat Plan along with all the ad materials to get a visualization of the book throughout the entire process.  Quickly see competing colors or competitive separation problems.

## Our customers love us

#### Anita Kasmir

###### Editor

As an editor juggling five or more luxury lifestyle books to write per year, my colleagues and I rely on LP to schedule daily interview appointments with clients and keep track of each book’s status in various stages of editorial development. It is our “go to” source every minute to know where things are. It keeps us extremely organized and we don’t miss a beat in terms of who touched the project at every point in the creative process. I don’t think we could function without it as a communications tool.

LaunchPad effectively eliminates the need for micromanagement, allowing everyone immediate access to relevant information and more time to focus on what matters most.
