Scenario walkthrough: cutting review latency
Campaign creative spends 5–6 days in feedback loops. The fix: formalize two daily review windows, add brand/rights evidence by default, and reuse a top template. Two weeks later review latency drops 28% and the team recovers two focus blocks per week.
Scorecard: what to track on demand
| Metric | Target | Owner | Action if off‑track |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brief→publish time | Downward trend | Ops lead | Unblock reviews; reuse templates; clarify owners |
| Review iteration count | Downward trend | Creative lead | Add brand/rights evidence; scheduled review windows |
What is the 8‑week rollout checklist?
- Weeks 1–2: connect workflow + reviews; baseline brief→publish
- Weeks 3–4: add review windows; enforce brand/rights evidence
- Weeks 5–6: on-demand snapshot via Bloomy; add reuse targets
- Weeks 7–8: scale to more streams; retire noisy metrics
