I work occasionally in social media advertising and it would be very rare for a post to be created on the day of posting. Sometimes we would produce a month's content in advance based on various possibilities. So whereas I'd agree the AP jumped the gun, it would be poor campaign management not to have posts ready to go.https://www.reddit.com/r/SandersForPresident/comments/4mynxy/get_the_word_out_please_hillary_sent_out_an_email/d3zcaa9

but I also do/did graphic design and it would be strange/weird to title it 'secret' unless it were that. Delayed news pieces and pre-made ad campaigns, at a place where such things are routine, would not be considered secret nor named that way (They don't seem to use that naming convention on some other things I checked - doesn't mean anything though).

Would make sense, however, if this was sent in or requested at the behest of someone, to be kept private until ready for release (or never). That would make sense. Just sayin' (But not saying it's nefarious).
