Marketing OS

Approval and publishing controls

The boundaries that keep public marketing work attributable, consent-aware, on-brand, and subject to named human release authority.

Public service guideLast verified 2026-07-23

Derived from the Project Marlow service brief and public operating model. Customer scope, enabled channels, connected tools, approval owners, and cadence are agreed per engagement.

What requires approval

Public posts, prospect-facing messages, spend outside agreed caps, and new commitments require a named human approval. Approved work is treated as immutable until a new review is requested.

Verification before release

A pre-ship check reviews factual support, recency, brand voice, visual quality, confidentiality, audience fit, and channel readiness before a release package reaches the human approver.

Consent and contact boundaries

Marketing activity uses agreed business channels and recorded permission. The operating model does not add people to mailing lists without consent or treat personal addresses as a marketing channel.

Proof of action

Material sends and approvals are recorded with their context, owner, timing, and outcome. The record makes it possible to distinguish a proposed item, an approved item, and something that actually shipped.
