Color-coded, not panic-coded.
Every issue gets a severity level: Red (stop — don't publish), Amber (resolve before launch), Green (documented and cleared). Nothing vague. Nothing buried in a PDF you'll never open.
Stop — Do Not Publish
Missing master license on track 3. Talent release expired for broadcast.
Resolve Before Launch
Font not cleared for digital. Stock footage approaching usage cap. Background logo visible at 0:14.
Documented & Cleared
Music sync license confirmed. All featured talent releases on file. Trademark usage within fair use parameters.
We don't just find the problems. We close them.
For each Red and Amber flag, we provide the exact resolution path: replacement asset, license to acquire, release amendment to send, or legal language to add. You choose; we document.

When every flag is resolved, you receive a Clearance Certificate — a signed document listing every element checked, every right confirmed, and every resolution documented. Your legal team loves this.

From the field
Compliance caught before it cost them.
"We had a broadcast campaign going out across three markets. Clearance flagged a talent release that only covered digital — two days before air. That one catch saved us a full campaign pull and a very expensive conversation with the client."
Meredith Callahan
Senior Producer · Ogilvy Chicago
"I was clearing music for a documentary at 1 AM the night before a festival submission. Clearance's audit came back in three hours and identified that two of my sync licenses didn't cover festival exhibition. They had replacement options ready. I don't know what I would have done."
Tomás Guerrero
Post-Production Supervisor · Sundance Alum, 2025
"Our spring campaign was live for 45 minutes before someone flagged that the headline font had a desktop-only license. Clearance now audits every asset before it goes to the scheduler. We haven't had an issue since."
