Questions:

1) Can I make a superiority claim?

2) How can I check the progress of my script?

3) How do I update a script on the system?

Answers:

1) Can I make a superiority claim?

Superiority claims are acceptable but require robust substantiation that should include comparative data against the whole, relevant marketplace.

2) How can I check the progress of my script?

The first port of call is Adway. When you look at your script submission it will indicate a status. ‘New’ means that the submission is currently in your Executive’s in box and is awaiting their attention. ‘In progress’ means that your Executive is working on your script or it is with their second reader for their comments. When you see the status as ‘In Progress’ please don’t upload amended scripts, substantiation or make comments on Adway without contacting your Executive first otherwise this may cause delays in getting comments to you. ‘Pending agency’ means that your Executive and their second reader have considered your script and have placed comments on Adway which may require your attention.

3) How do I update a script on the system?

Click on the script submission from the home page. When the submission is open click on the ‘History’ tab and scroll down to the ‘Update script’ section at the bottom page. Click on the ‘Browse ...’ button and upload your script in the usual way. It’s important that you upload an amended script in this way as it ensures that the script appears in your exec’s inbox. Please avoid uploading amended scripts as substantiation.
