Use case creative & campaign sign-off

Creative approvals your clients actually complete.

Proofing tools fail at the last step: they ask the client to make an account. So approvals leak back into email — "looks good!" on v2 while you shipped v3 — and when spend is questioned, the trail is scattered across four channels.

How agencies run creative through ApprovalLayer

Version-locked sign-offs

Each request names the exact version — "Q3 hero video, v3 final." The approval binds to that version, so "we approved a different cut" stops being arguable.

One tap per stakeholder

Need the CMO and the brand manager? Send one request with a chain — each taps their own link, and the record shows who signed in what order.

Changes with receipts

"Request changes" captures the client's note, dated. Revision rounds become countable — useful when round four arrives and the contract said two.

The moment this pays for itself

The campaign ran. The invoice went out. The client's finance team asks who approved the spend. You export the client's record: creative v3 approved by k.halloway on Jun 12 at 4:02 pm, media budget increase approved by d.reyes on Jun 10. The argument doesn't escalate, because there's nothing left to argue about. See the full sign-off process →
