Split approval responsibilities

An editor can judge clarity while a product owner checks specifications. A local manager can confirm location details while the marketing owner approves the company message. One vague "approved" label hides those differences.

Make unresolved facts visible

A draft should distinguish approved facts from questions that still need answers. Reviewers should not have to guess which sentences came from a reliable source.

Keep approval attached to the version

If a price or offer changes after review, require a new check. Approval of an earlier draft is not approval of every future variation.

This week's action

Take one campaign and identify who checks each type of claim. Publish the table beside the briefing template. Escalate gaps before the next round of content, rather than after a customer spots an error.

Discussion behind the question

This is original practical guidance prompted by a public discussion theme, not a claim that the poster represents all CMOs. Read the source discussion.
