Grading comment
"starting blocks" is the literal translation, and would work in most instances, however in this context, "in readiness" works much better to convey the meaning.

starting blocks


Explanation:
I feel this is the closest translation. It is often used as a metaphor/cliche for being in readiness, as Norskpro uses it (and as in the reference), but here I think the marketing people would probably use "in the starting blocks" or a similar sporting phrase.

Example sentence(s):
  • And in the starting blocks, we have the activation of a new marketing channel.

agree  Deane Goltermann: 'starting blocks' is what the word means ... and 'starting blocks' is also the metaphor and cliché
