IT'S LIFTOFF

We're an advertising + marketing agency with big dreams. We imagine, create and manage your brand in a new digital world. We create unique experiences that build better business, grow brands and make people’s lives better. Our client line-up include restauranteurs, doctors, government agencies, and rising-star politicians all across Texas.


Advertising + Strategy

In today’s age, advertising is much more than slogans and billboards. Brands must create a unique personality and voice, or risk getting lost in the shuffle. Not even sure where to start? Critical Launch can develop an advertising strategy for your campaign to ensure that your online and print advertising will flow seamlessly.

Marketing for the World

Many people believe that a brand identity is just a slogan, a logo and a handful of colors. However, this doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of emotion that is required for successful branding. Your customers define and in large part own your brand, and therefore the basis for any strategic planning in this area needs to come from a fundamental understanding of who you are targeting and what they are after.

We don't just create brands, we give it life and meaning.

We Love Making Virtual Friends

Meeting marketing objectives is hard enough. Trying to please the online masses at the same time can get a little overwhelming. Social media will easily get left behind even though it’s essential to your success!

Our social media team are experts at customer engagement. We'll develop your accounts, create engaging content that represents your brand, and manage your social voice.

Let's Start Creating!

We believe websites are not a project, but a research-driven marketing tool. A website isn’t just a pretty design – we build websites that work and drive our clients’ businesses.

Is a website necessary for your line of business? Absolutely.

Politics in Advertising: Is there ever a right time?


A tone deaf truck ad, a weird Diet Coke placement, lots of ads that went for humor, a few that went for the emotional jugular, but a whole lotta boring at this year’s Superbowl. However one theme in particular stood out, (other than the fact that this year’s crop of ads were pretty lame)– this year’s ads tended to skirt politics and shoot for straightforward laughs.

Snapchat Chose Ad Dollars Over Functionality


Snapchat has been a technology darling for a few years now— or at least it was. The company was innovative and forward thinking, so much so that Facebook and Instagram— the true juggernauts of social media, started to blatantly copy the app. One could only wonder whether or not the little David would be able to win against the thieving Goliaths.

The company has been working on a revamp of the app’s interface for all of last quarter. It tested a beta for months and has obviously put a lot of time, thought and money into its latest endeavor. After

Advertising to the nation’s largest age group, Millennials


Millennials are the United States’ largest age group. At about 75-80 million they are a fourth of the country’s total population and yet very few companies are properly targeting them. The rampant stereotypes and misnomers about the group are the biggest reasons why. Here’s some background.

There are a lot of opinions on millennials out there, and very few of them are positive. Even millennials can be hard on their own generational cohorts, though one would suggest that this is most likely due to an innate human desire to feel ‘special’ or ‘unique’ which makes us more likely to state things like, “why is my generation so lazy, I work very hard.” It’s because we want to believe we work harder than our peers.

  • I think not only are you a young innovative mind, but you understand the end concept that the client is wishing to achieve. You understand what the customer is asking for even before they ask it.
