Commute briefing — 90 minutes, two blocks (for David)

You're the facilitator; she does the talking. The goal is that by the time you arrive she can say tomorrow's lines without notes and can articulate her own 12-month arc in one breath. Her reading material is the Hebrew pack (README has the order); this doc is your steering wheel.


Block 1 — Tomorrow's meeting (~40 min)

1. Her opener, out loud, twice (10 min)

Have her deliver the expectation-reset (top of 02-questions-for-tzadok.md) from memory. It's the most important 30 seconds of the meeting:

Checkpoint: does it sound like someone running ahead, or someone asking for time? Re-run until it's the former.

2. The Facebook table as her power move (5 min)

Quiz her on the five numbers until instant: 49 campaigns · 7 active · ₪25K half-year spend · ₪74 per lead · 40% of budget unmeasured (+ Liram = zero campaigns). Then the punchline she should say verbatim: "Give me admin on Google Ads and you get this exact table for Google within a day." Numbers she owns cold = the credibility of the entire meeting.

3. Roleplay: you are Tzadok (15 min) — the most valuable part

Play him properly: interrupt her, talk fast, be very confident, jump topics. Run these three attacks:

4. The two mines and the two asks (5 min)

5. Close of meeting (5 min)

She proposes the recap-email habit ("I'll send a short summary of what we decided") and confirms cadence/format (Q5). This starts the decision-trail from day one, disguised as diligence — which it also genuinely is.


Block 2 — The bigger picture: her arc as CMO (~45 min)

Frame to open with: "Tomorrow is one meeting. Let's talk about the next 12 months." She was hired to BUILD the marketing function, AI-first — not to inherit one, and not to execute Tzadok's playbook. He just confirmed she owns the strategy. Now: what does owning it look like?

The four stages (walk through them; get her to say each in her own words)

Stage 0 — Own the ground truth (now → ~2 weeks). Access everywhere, measurement wired, conversion tracking fixed, baseline documented. Identity she's building: the person in the company who actually knows the numbers. Nobody can argue with the person holding the only reliable map. Exit: all access granted, Google table built, baseline written down.

Stage 1 — Cheap visible wins (weeks 2–8). Fix the unmeasured ₪10k/half-year campaigns; kill/rebuild the ₪360–536-per-lead zombies; launch the WhatsApp Channel; organic-posts line from Chaya's content; the monthly lead→close report the sales side already asked for (Boaz) — that last one buys the sales department as allies, and she'll need them. Exit: 2–3 things Tzadok can see working that didn't exist a month ago.

Stage 2 — The strategy she now owns (months 2–4). Delivered on the date she commits to tomorrow. The unified positioning, the content/AEO engine (Tzadok's method integrated as a layer — he contributes, she owns), channel plan, KPIs. Critical: her own KPI set, not Yuval's inherited scoreboard (his 2026 plan had 9 KPIs, all owned by him, 8 yellow — a lesson in what not to inherit). Exit: strategy approved, her KPIs on the wall, quarterly cadence agreed.

Stage 3 — The signature build (months 4–12). The AI-first marketing department — the thing she was actually hired for and the story Tzadok gets to tell Michpal (newly public, hungry for efficiency narratives). Agents for content production, campaign monitoring, reporting; small human core. This is also her career story: nobody else in the group can build this. Exit: a functioning system another CMO would envy, with her name on it.

The three habits that protect her the whole way (5 min)

  1. Recap email after every strategy meeting — decisions, owners, her recommendation. Quiet authorship record.
  2. Everything measured before/after — blame then attaches to tactics, never to her wholesale; and wins are provable.
  3. Opinions early and loud, dugri-style — in this culture silence reads as weakness, and positions are free to change. She earns the room by surviving arguments, not avoiding them.

The political map in one minute (close with this)

Tzadok co-owns Heshev and is still consolidating authority over Liram — her success cements his control; their incentives are aligned. Watch only for Heshev-tilt in his decisions. Beyond him: Michpal's ~8,000 payroll customers are the future cross-sell prize (Moshe is the bridge, Tier-2, don't rush it). And she sits physically in Liram — she must keep equal depth on the Heshev side to stay credible as group CMO.

If time remains: fears

Her voice shook yesterday and she noticed. Worth saying out loud: the room was impressed anyway — content beat nerves. Tomorrow is 1-on-1, easier than a panel, and she's walking in with more real data than anyone in that company has ever put on a table.
