# AI for marketing agencies: check the decisions behind a campaign launch

The client likes the latest creative, but the approval refers to an earlier file. The budget is confirmed for one market while the launch sheet includes two. Before anyone activates the campaign, the agency needs a version-specific decision record.
Use AI to line up the launch sheet with the approved creative and budget. The account lead gets the version and market differences to resolve before the authorised operator activates the campaign.

## Illustrative example (fictional)

The owner's request: What is missing before this campaign can be released?

Information provided:
- Fictional campaign M-7: creative v2 approved.
- The approved budget covers one market. The launch sheet links v3 and includes a second market without a recorded budget decision.

Example result: The creative version and market scope both differ from the approved record. The agency needs those decisions before release.

The next step: The account lead resolves the differences and issues a checked launch brief.

## Match approval to the creative version

Use file identifiers and the client's actual wording. Keep feedback separate from sign-off, and show which version each comment concerns. A broad 'looks good' should not be applied to a revised asset without resolving the reference.


## Check budget and scope together

Compare the approved amount, currency, period and market with the launch plan. Keep an estimate or proposed expansion separate from accepted spend. A consistent spreadsheet total does not prove that the client approved the underlying allocation.


## Prepare the release checklist

Bring checked assets, budget decisions and timing into one handoff. Identify the person who will perform and verify the actual activation. A completed readiness sheet does not mean the campaign is live, spending or producing results.

## Questions you may have

### How does this check differ from an advertising-account inventory?

The advertising-account inventory establishes what is in the account. This check links the approvals for a specific campaign release.

### Can the assistant activate the campaign from the checklist?

This workflow prepares the decision record. Account changes need the authorised operator and verification of the actual result.
