Takeover
A guest who 'takes over our page', announced as handing over the keys: a key ring with brass and silver keys and a manila tag on a string carrying the guest's name and when, beside the plan for the day.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Takeover for posts that announce news or start a conversation, when the message is a list or one sharp insight. It is built first to announce news.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

Single image. Each size is laid out for its canvas, not cropped; the sample above is the 4:5 version.
What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- The guest is a real person the post names, exactly as written; the time and the plan come from the post.
Visual rules
- A light brand-tint ground; a silver key ring with two silver keys and a brass one (one bow in the brand colour) hanging from it, and a manila key tag with a reinforced hole tied on with a string, tilted slightly.
- The guest's name big in heading type on the tag with the time under it; the plan under the keys as rows with brand arrows.
- A centred title, kicker and website on top, the logo bottom-left and a dark reply pill.
