Introduction
What is Marketing Asset Approval & Why it Matters
Marketing asset approval is the process of reviewing creative deliverables, like ads, graphics, videos, and documents, before they go live. It ensures assets meet brand, compliance, and campaign goals.
Traditionally, approvals rely on back-and-forth emails, chat threads, and versioned files, which create confusion and delay launches. These inefficiencies often result in missed deadlines or misaligned campaigns.
BugSmash transforms marketing asset approval into a structured, collaborative process. Teams capture clear feedback, manage revisions with version control, and move from draft to approved asset quickly and confidently.

“I recently used BugSmash for a website project where I needed to gather feedback without the hassle of scheduling meetings. The platform allowed me to record an asynchronous video using OBS, which I then uploaded to BugSmash. Clients were able to comment on specific timestamps of the video as I posed my questions, and surprisingly, even those who aren't very tech-savvy managed to provide insightful feedback. I had previously attempted similar processes with other platforms like Loom, but BugSmash stood out since it requires no sign-in (optional)—users simply add their name. Overall, the value and affordability of BugSmash make it an impressive choice for anyone needing a comprehensive review solution for PDFs, images, audio, video, and live websites.“
