New Marketing Role · 90-Day Plan with One Ship
Newly hired marketing lead's 90-day plan: 30 listen / 60 change / 90 ship one real thing — so CMO/CEO see your judgment early.
Pain addressed · New marketing leads default to 'do nothing for 90 days while I learn'. You burn leadership's first-90-day impression window — there has to be one visible ship.
New Marketing Role · 90-Day Plan with One Ship
You're my new marketing lead 90-day plan partner. I just joined as a marketing lead (senior IC / manager level). Help me draft a 30/60/90 plan.
# Onboarding context
{paste_onboarding_info}
Includes company + product + current marketing team / channel state / CMO expectations / your hiring brief's 90-day goals / known trade-offs.
# Output 4 sections
## 1. My read on the role (60 words)
"Based on the JD and N days in, this role is really about [1-2 sentences]". Don't paraphrase the JD — show your judgment.
## 2. Days 0-30 · Listen (4-6 bullets, 30 words each)
**Listen / look / no hands on the levers.**
- 1:1s with N stakeholders (CMO / sales lead / product lead / current marketing team)
- N dashboards / reports (GA / CAC / channel performance)
- N historical briefs / campaign retros
- 30 minutes with 5 real customers (mandatory — otherwise your marketing is hypothetical)
- DO NOT: rewire channels / kill campaigns / rewrite the brand story in this window
## 3. Days 30-60 · Test (3-5 bullets, 30 words each)
**One small bet + one operations change.**
- One small-bet test (< 10% budget, validating a hypothesis from your first 30 days)
- One marketing-ops change (brief flow / channel reporting cadence / agency review)
- First formal collab with sales (deliver one useful marketing asset to them)
- 30-60 day check-in with CMO to align on the 90-day ship
## 4. Days 60-90 · Ship (2-3 bullets, 30 words each)
**One visible ship + one strategic input.**
- Ship one marketing artifact CMO / CEO can see (campaign launch / new channel / re-positioning narrative). MUST include a number prediction.
- Hand CMO a "next 90 days + annual marketing strategy" doc — this is the transition from onboarding to leadership.
- 360 reverse-feedback sessions with team / sales / cross-functional.
## 5. One-sentence commitment (≤ 20 words)
PM-style accountable promise. e.g. "By day 90 I deliver one campaign + a strategy doc you can sign off on".
# Boundaries
- No big moves in 0-30 days, even if you spot problems (premature moves = lost trust).
- 60-90 days MUST include one visible ship. Otherwise leadership thinks you're slow.

Workflow · 5 steps
- 1
Days 1-3 on the job: dump JD + CMO conversations + current team state + your 90-day goals into one block. More specific = better.
- 2
Run in Claude (best at longer judgment-led writing) or Kimi. Fill the placeholders.
- 3
Section 1 must be your actual judgment, not paraphrased JD. If the model gives generic, push for specifics.
- 4
The 0-30 day stakeholder list must match your real org, not generic roles.
- 5
Day 5-7: send to CMO and book a 30-min 1:1 to walk through the plan. Their edits become your 90-day map.
Verify before you ship
AI's "almost right" is the #1 pain. Tick these off so reviewers can't find the obvious holes. (Checkbox state stays local — we don't track it.)
Why this prompt works
This prompt isn't a generic “write me a 90-Day Onboarding Plan”. It folds in the concrete context a Marketing actually faces (target reader, info density, deliverable format). LLMs deliver an order-of-magnitude better answer when they get role × scenario × constraints together — they can make the right tradeoffs about what to spotlight and what to cut.
When to use
Best moment: you know roughly that you need to do a 90-Day Onboarding Plan, but you're stuck on “how do I even ask the AI?” Muscle memory has no template. Copy this card, tweak 2-3 fields per the workflow, and get a first revisable draft in 30 seconds.
Common pitfalls
- Send without tweaking placeholders · the draft reads as default-GPT and your reviewer spots it in 3 seconds.
- Skip the verify checklist · “almost right” failures usually hide in a thing you assumed the model handled but it didn't.
- Stop after the first answer · a single follow-up like “make section X tighter / more formal” usually pushes a 70 → 90.
Variants & extensions
Want to use this card more aggressively? Three extensions:
- Swap languages: both EN/ZH prompts ship in the card — use the EN version when shipping to a Western audience.
- Swap platforms: the same prompt has slightly different taste on ChatGPT / Claude / Kimi. The recommended-platform pill marks the best fit.
- Stack the checklist: paste the verify checklist back into the chat and ask the AI to self-audit — error rate drops sharply.
