Hard Launch

An explicit, identifying social media announcement of a new relationship.

Definition

Hard launch is the unambiguous social-media announcement of a partner — face shown, often tagged, sometimes captioned. It's the milestone after the soft launch. The decision of when to hard launch (or whether to at all) is its own minor relationship negotiation in the social-media era.
