Heya,
will just leave a note in here:
The rule for internally approved proposals applies to the Creatives vertical, other groups might handle it differently.
I believe you will find more infos on how to submit a marketing proposal in here:
As this is a different vertical in the system, the rules can vary 
As for the first post from @Purpledots, I have linked to the funds that C1 has received this month for TG support (100 USD from the requested 700 USD) from the Creatives DAO in here to keep everything transparent. [Closed] C1 Marketing Campaign (Nov, Dec, Jan) - #14 by tabear
I hope that helps
