How content submissions are reviewed

The review step that decides whether a published clip enters the campaign record, and the four statuses it can carry.

In short

Every campaign post is submitted and checked against the campaign guidelines before it counts. A submission moves through four statuses (submitted, under review, changes requested, approved) and only approved posts enter the campaign record.

From source material to published clipsIllustrative example
Long form originalOne approved recording
  • “Start here”0:22 · 9:16
  • “The turning point”0:35 · 9:16
  • “One clear answer”0:29 · 9:16

A single recording becomes several vertical clips, each with its own hook, runtime and platform destination.

What review checks

Whether the clip uses approved source material only, follows the claim and wording rules, carries required disclosures, avoids restricted subjects, preserves context, and meets platform and format requirements.

The four statuses

Submitted: logged and queued. Under review: being checked against the guidelines. Changes requested: a specific, named fix is required. Approved: it meets the guidelines and enters the campaign record.

Why decisions carry reasons

A rejection without a reason teaches nobody. Each decision names the rule involved, which raises submission quality across the campaign rather than only fixing one post.

One moment, four different clipsSource moment 00:40 to 01:10
  • “Everyone has this backwards”0:31 · 9:16V1Contrarian open, caption led
  • “If this keeps happening to you”0:44 · 9:16V2Problem first, question on screen
  • “Here is the short answer”0:27 · 9:16V3Conclusion first, then the proof
  • “Four seconds, one point”0:18 · 9:16V4Fast cuts, kinetic text

The same thirty seconds supports four different openings, runtimes and edits, so one moment reaches four kinds of viewer.

What happens to a post that fails

It does not enter the approved record. Where a correction or removal is possible, it is pursued within what creators and platforms permit, which is a real limit, not a formality.

Why this protects the client

Review is why a campaign total means something. Every counted post has been measured against rules the client approved before launch.

Questions about this

Turnaround depends on campaign volume and is agreed at scoping rather than promised as a fixed service level.
