Havas1, I'd love to, but for every creative who says that there are 10 that cry wolf that we're forwarding confusing email chains and don't do anything but send emails and they don't want to sift through comments or figure out what the client meant to say, so they want nice clean outlined summary instead. Also, I've sent simple feedback this way, saying don't execute, I need to verify stuff first, but they did anyway on the DL thinking they can beat the system and get ahead of the game, then get upset that they made changes that I STET-ed + burn more hours to fix. You just can't win with you guys ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜˜

Totally hear that Account is in meetings all day and donโ€™t always have time to review client feedback, so after doing so send the feedback onto creative team. How about instead of sitting on it for 7hrs you send across with a caveat to review only and not execute until green light? Creative constantly iterates and shares work early to keep PM/Account abreast of projects. Canโ€™t this be reciprocal?

In my own experience, because that's when I finally finished my meetings for the day and have a few moments to review deliverables and provide feedback.

Because most day to day clients can't (or sometimes won't) make final decisions and need to review with their boss at their end of day meeting. I can't tell you the amount of times I've heard "so I just got out of a meeting with xyz and have consolidated feedback."
