Review
Every engagement begins with an editor reading your draft.
Before anything is routed, a senior editor reads the announcement the way a newsroom would — for the story, not the sender. Most drafts arrive with the news buried: the headline announces an event instead of reporting what changed, or the lead paragraph serves the company before the reader.
What comes back to you is specific: what the story actually is, what it needs to become, and an honest verdict on whether it should travel at all. If the announcement isn't ready, the notes say exactly why — that is the Standard, and it applies to every draft, including ours.
