Acquisition Weekly Meeting

Purpose

Weekly deep-dive on paid acquisition strategy, owned by Hamish. Adam, Alan, Frank — the strategic + tactical + financial triangle. Note for 2026-05-04: Hamish declined this instance — meeting still on with Adam, Alan, Frank.

What I want walking out

When Hamish is present:

  1. Strategic alignment on the next 2-week paid-acq agenda
  2. Channel-mix decisions ratified (what stays, what scales, what gets cut)
  3. Specific budget envelope for the next sprint

When Hamish declined (today, 2026-05-04):

  1. Org chart for the performance team — current + 90-day target — agreed with Alan + Frank
  2. Training plan — concrete cadence (e.g., "every Friday 30 min, one team member presents a learning") + Loom library plan + reading list
  3. Cost of proposed hires pressure-tested by Frank
  4. 5-bullet recap to Hamish post-meeting (since he wasn't in the room)

Talking points (Hamish-out version, 2026-05-04)

  • Current org chart as it stands today
  • Proposed org chart 90 days out — names, roles, open seats
  • Training cadence proposal — concrete (every Friday 30 min — one team member presents)
  • Cost of the proposed hires — Frank can pressure-test on the spot
  • The leadership-standup carryover topics (SKUs, PDPs, agency sourcing) — only re-touch if a decision is needed today vs Hamish-blocked

What to listen for

  • Alan's view on which hires unblock him fastest — that's where the first req should sit
  • Frank's view on which hires the budget supports vs which need a CFO-side build-vs-buy conversation
  • Why Hamish declined — if it's a one-off scheduling thing, no signal. If it's a pattern, that's a separate conversation Adam should book with him directly.

Pre-meeting checklist

  • Current org chart visualized
  • 90-day target org chart with names + open reqs
  • Training cadence proposal one-pager
  • Hire-cost spreadsheet (Frank-readable)
  • Slack DM ready to send Hamish post-meeting with the 5-bullet recap
