Campaign Architecture

SDK Campaign Rollout

Physical AI • Platform Repositioning • Open-Source Launch

A physical AI robotics company had built serious engineering—lock-free pipelines, hardware-agnostic architecture, a custom data format for cross-embodiment scalability—but the story hadn't traveled. Through Story Flow immersion with leadership, deep market research, and existing asset analysis, a full campaign architecture was designed to reposition the company from hardware manufacturer to infrastructure-grade physical AI platform.

The Challenge

The company had launched an open-source SDK for robotics data collection—a genuine technical contribution to the physical AI ecosystem. But the SDK existed in a vacuum. No content infrastructure connected the product to the audiences who needed it. Meanwhile, the company was navigating a deeper identity shift: from a hardware business to a platform play.

The campaign needed to serve both goals simultaneously—drive SDK adoption among robotics engineers and researchers while signaling the platform repositioning to investors and partners. Story Flow sessions with leadership surfaced the messaging spine, and external research mapped the conference landscape where the audience was already gathering.

Interactive Campaign Document

The full campaign rollout was delivered as an interactive HTML document—expandable spec treatments, a visual calendar heatmap with engine indicators, collapsible Story Flow insights, section navigation, and a kanban inventory of all 37 proposed deliverables tiered by priority. Designed to satisfy two readers: a founder who wanted to see the production machine, and a CEO who wanted strategic coherence.
