Zikaron BaSalon × Waze
Meeting people inside a platform they already use every day.
Zikaron BaSalon is a global initiative preserving Holocaust memory through intimate, community-led gatherings in Israel and dozens of countries.
As Holocaust Remembrance Day approached, the organisation needed to make nearby gatherings easier to discover and to encourage more people to take part.
I helped shape and lead a partnership that placed branded Zikaron BaSalon pins directly on the Waze map. Each pin represented a real gathering and allowed users to view details and register. The strategy was not to ask people to search for a gathering elsewhere, but to reach them inside an everyday digital habit.
Shaped the strategic idea, led the partnership and its activation with the platform and the organisation's teams.
The map became both a reminder and an accessible route into participation. The success of the format later supported similar collaborations with Moovit and easy, expanding both attendance and hosting opportunities.
Discovery is a design problem before it is a promotion problem. Placing the invitation where attention already lives removes the step most people never take.
