EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
How to Improve Email Review Cycles and Email Approvals
40% of brands suffer from email review and approval processes that either jeopardize quality by being too lax or jeopardize efficiency by being too burdensome. Here’s how to fix them.

Marketers spend 3.9 hours on average having an email reviewed and securing approval. That’s more time than they spend on design, development, or any other component of email production. Email approvals become a drain on time when there are too many or the wrong people involved. But there also is the other side of the spectrum—email approval processes that are too lax, jeopardizing quality and leaving room for errors.
