Important Process Information

  • Submit complete and accurate information to prevent a delay in the marketing process. Turnaround time begins after a request has been reviewed and all submission requirements are met. The Marketing Department reserves the right return to the requestor any incomplete submissions. Customers will receive communication for any clarification or additional needs before moving forward.

  • After a first draft is sent to the customer for approval, the customer may request up to 3 iterations of the concept art. Additional iterations are subject to management approval.

  • Once artwork is approved, mandatory approval procedures apply. All marketing materials must go through mandatory NAF Support Division approval processes prior to completion. A finished draft will then be sent to the customer for final approval. 

  • Outside printed media can require up to two weeks for printing and delivery time after the final approval of design work, so requestors are encouraged to plan accordingly. Requestors will be responsible for rush fees.

  • Printed media must be picked up by the requestor within 5 business days from notification of delivery to ensure maximum marketing coverage.

Request Timeframes

  • The allotted turnaround time for a FIRST DRAFT PROOF of design work is 10 business days after the review of the completed marketing request.

  • Marketing campaign requests that require printed media must be submitted at least 45 days prior to event start date.

  • Campaign requests for athletic events requiring strength and conditioning training for participants must be submitted at least 6 months prior to event start date.

  • Requests submitted outside of the required timeframe are forwarded to the division chief for consideration before moving forward with the request.

  • Work orders submitted after 3 p.m. MST are added to the queue on the following business day.

Business Day Definition: Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time). Excludes weekends, training, federal, post closures, phased releases, delayed reporting and seasonal holidays.
