SayPro Content Approval Documents

SayPro Content Approval Documents

To maintain high standards, consistency, and alignment with SayPro’s strategic goals, it is essential that all content undergoes a clear and structured approval process. The Content Approval Documents outline the necessary steps and channels that content must go through before being published, ensuring alignment with the ED’s Office and the broader Strategic Partnerships initiatives.


1. Content Submission Process

The content submission process ensures that all proposed content is organized and reviewed systematically before reaching the approval stage.

A. Content Creation

  • Responsibility: Content creators (social media managers, marketing team, or content specialists) are responsible for creating drafts, which may include social media posts, blog articles, videos, graphics, or press releases.
  • Content Types:
    • Social media posts (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.)
    • Blog posts and articles
    • Visual assets (infographics, images, videos)
    • Press releases
    • Email newsletters and marketing materials

B. Internal Review

  • Reviewers: Content creators send the content to internal team members (e.g., marketing managers, designers, and copywriters) for an initial review and feedback.
  • Timeline: The content is reviewed within [timeframe, e.g., 1-2 business days] before submitting to the next approval stage.

2. Approval Workflow

Once content has passed through internal review, it must go through formal approval channels to ensure strategic alignment with SayPro’s vision, goals, and objectives.

A. First Level Approval: Content Manager/Team Lead

  • Responsibility: The Content Manager or Team Lead reviews the content to ensure it aligns with SayPro’s overall messaging, tone, and style. They also check for grammatical errors and visual consistency.
  • Feedback: Any suggested edits or revisions are communicated back to the content creators, who revise accordingly.

B. Second Level Approval: ED’s Office (Executive Director’s Office)

  • Responsibility: The ED’s Office ensures the content aligns with SayPro’s strategic goals and mission. This step guarantees that content supports broader organizational objectives and strategic partnerships. The ED’s office may also review content for any potential PR issues, compliance, or legal considerations.
    • Review Points:
      • Does the content align with SayPro’s long-term strategic goals?
      • Is the messaging consistent with the organization’s brand values?
      • Is there alignment with ongoing or future campaigns, events, or partnerships?
      • Are there any sensitive topics that need to be handled carefully (e.g., legal disclaimers, privacy concerns)?
  • Timeline: The ED’s office reviews content within [timeframe, e.g., 2-3 business days] and provides final approval or further revisions.

C. Final Approval: Leadership Team

  • Responsibility: The Leadership Team (e.g., CEO, CMO, VP of Strategic Partnerships) provides the final approval if the content aligns with both tactical goals and the organization’s overarching strategy.
  • Decision Points: At this stage, the team ensures the content meets overall organizational goals and represents SayPro’s leadership perspective.

3. Documentation and Tracking

To ensure accountability and smooth operations, it’s crucial to document each stage of the approval process.

A. Content Approval Document

  • Template: A standardized document template is used for all content submissions, including key sections like:
    • Content Title/Description: Brief overview of the content.
    • Target Audience: Identifies the key demographic or stakeholder group the content is aimed at.
    • Objective of Content: Clearly outlines the goal (brand awareness, lead generation, engagement, etc.).
    • Review Feedback: Sections for each approval level to provide feedback or comments.
    • Approval Signatures: Fields for each reviewer (Content Manager, ED’s Office, Leadership) to sign off or request revisions.
    • Approval Timeline: Time stamps of when content is submitted, reviewed, and approved.

B. Content Tracking System

  • Tool: Utilize content management tools like Trello, Asana, Monday.com, or a simple Google Sheet to track the approval status of each piece of content. This allows for easy visibility and updates on where each content piece stands in the approval process.
    • Columns to include:
      • Content Title/Type
      • Submission Date
      • Stage of Approval (First, Second, Final)
      • Reviewer Feedback
      • Approval Status (Approved, Pending Revisions, Rejected)
      • Scheduled Publish Date

4. Revision Process

If content requires revisions after review at any stage, the following steps are followed:

A. First Round of Revisions

  • Responsibility: The content creator makes the necessary changes based on internal and/or ED’s Office feedback.
  • Revisions Document: A document that outlines all changes made to the content and how they address the feedback provided.

B. Second Round of Revisions (if needed)

  • Responsibility: The content creator revises again after feedback from the Leadership Team, ensuring that all changes align with the organization’s strategic goals.

C. Final Approval

  • Outcome: After revisions, content is resubmitted for final approval. If no further revisions are required, the content is approved for publication.

5. Publishing and Distribution

Once content is approved by the Leadership Team, it’s ready for publication. The process includes the following steps:

A. Scheduling Posts

  • Responsibility: The content is scheduled for publishing according to the agreed-upon strategy and timing.
  • Platforms: Posts are scheduled across relevant social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) using tools like Hootsuite, Buffer, or Sprout Social.

B. Content Distribution

  • Responsibility: The content team ensures the content reaches the intended audience across all communication channels, including social media, website, newsletters, and any other promotional channels.

C. Monitor Engagement and Feedback

  • Responsibility: After content is live, the team monitors engagement and audience feedback to determine the success of the content and adjust future strategies as needed.

6. Archiving and Reporting

To track the performance of the content and measure its success:

A. Content Performance Report

  • Metrics to Track: Likes, shares, comments, engagement rate, reach, conversions, traffic, etc.
  • Responsibility: Social media managers and content creators track performance and report back to leadership. This allows the team to assess the effectiveness of the content and plan future campaigns.

B. Archive Content for Future Use

  • Tool: Maintain an archive of all content produced and approved. This can be stored in a cloud-based system (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox) and categorized by type, approval date, and platform. This provides a reference point for future content creation and campaign planning.
