Frequently Asked Questions
How much of our development process should we share on social media?
Our transparency framework helps you identify shareable elements that build interest without revealing competitive information or creating expectations you can't meet.
How do we talk about our product without making promises we might not keep?
Our communication approach focuses on sharing the problem-solving process rather than specific features, using language that conveys direction without committing to exact implementations.
Should we create a separate account for product development updates?
Our channel strategy typically recommends integrating development content into your main social presence rather than fragmenting your audience, unless your product represents an entirely new brand direction.
How frequently should we post development updates?
Our content calendar approach recommends consistent but realistic scheduling based on your development pace, typically suggesting 1-2 development-specific updates weekly supplemented with related industry content.
