Why each option
After the project team is identified, the standard next step in project management is to host a kickoff meeting to formally align the team on goals and expectations.
Publishing a company blog article is a marketing or communications activity and is not a standard project management step in the project lifecycle.
A company town hall is a broad organizational communication event and is not the appropriate project-level next step after team identification.
A kickoff meeting is a formal project management practice that brings the assembled team and key stakeholders together to establish shared understanding of objectives, roles, responsibilities, and the plan going forward. It marks the official transition from planning or initiation into active project work and ensures everyone starts with a common baseline. Hosting the kickoff after team identification is a recognized standard practice in project management frameworks.
Posting on social media is an external communications activity unrelated to formal project initiation processes.
