Accelerating Marketing Campaign Approvals With signNow Automation

Marketing campaigns involve multiple moving parts: creative development, strategy planning, client approvals, and legal documents. One of the biggest bottlenecks is waiting for approvals—contracts, proposals, and creative materials often require multiple signatures before campaigns can proceed. Traditional manual approval processes slow teams down and can impact deadlines and client satisfaction.

signNow provides a digital solution for automating approvals, allowing marketing teams to accelerate campaign timelines while maintaining secure and compliant workflows.


The Problem With Manual Approvals

Marketing teams relying on manual approvals face several challenges:

  1. Slow Turnaround
    Waiting for clients or internal stakeholders to sign documents can take days or even weeks.

  2. Repetitive Follow-Ups
    Team members spend valuable hours sending reminders and tracking approval statuses manually.

  3. Document Mismanagement
    Contracts, proposals, and approvals scattered across emails or cloud storage lead to confusion and version conflicts.

  4. Delayed Campaign Launches
    Approval delays directly impact campaign start times, which can affect ROI and client satisfaction.

Manual approval processes not only waste time but can also cause unnecessary stress for teams and clients alike.

  3. Automated Reminders
    signNow automatically notifies clients and team members when signatures are pending, reducing manual follow-ups and keeping campaigns on schedule.

  4. Centralized Dashboard
