Who is authorized to sign or approve a Boosted Post
Marketing Manager
The primary approver for creative and targeting decisions; typically responsible for campaign objectives, budget alignment, and final asset selection. Their signature confirms the post is ready for media buying and deployment.

Frequently asked questions about Boosted Post approvals and eSigning
-
Can this form be signed electronically?
Yes. Electronic signatures for approvals are legally effective under the ESIGN Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) and UETA in most states. Ensure intent, consent, attribution, and retention are documented to satisfy legal validity.
-
Do consumer disclosures apply?
If the post collects personal data or triggers consumer-facing consent, include a clear disclosure and follow ESIGN consumer disclosure requirements; privacy notices required under state laws such as CCPA may also apply.
-
What file formats are accepted?
Most ad platforms accept MP4 (H.264) for video and JPG/PNG for thumbnails. Confirm the platform’s file size, aspect ratio, and bitrate specifications before finalizing the asset.
-
Who must sign for budget approval?
Budget approvers are typically finance or designated campaign owners. Document an approval threshold matrix so small spends follow a different sign-off path than large budgets.
-
Is a notarization required?
Not normally. Marketing approvals rarely require notarization; if a state-specific legal attestation is needed, consult that state’s notary rules and RON availability.
-
How long should records be kept?
Maintain campaign records for at least three years for tax and audit purposes; healthcare or other regulated industries may require longer retention (see HIPAA 45 CFR §164.530(j)).
