Episode guide
A series laid out as an 'episode guide': the cover lists every episode like a TV listing, then each page is one episode — a screen still with its episode number and a play button, a progress bar of the series, the episode's title and synopsis, and what's up next. For a story told in parts.

When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Episode guide for posts that start a conversation, announce news or entertain, when the message is a story, a list or a timeline. It is built first to start a conversation.
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.

Carousel of 3–10 slides. 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
- Only for a story or content series told in parts — a video series, a weekly feature, a multi-part story; not for a single announcement or a list of tips (a post that names no series is refused).
- Episode titles and synopses come from the copy; never invent air dates, run times or guests.
- The closing line says where or when to catch what comes next, as the copy gives it.
Visual rules
- A dark screen-like ground: on each page a rounded 16:9 still in a brand gradient with scanlines, the episode number huge in its corner and a white play button, then a segmented progress bar of the series.
- Under it an 'Episode n' chip, the episode title and synopsis, and an 'Up next' card naming the next episode; on the square format the still runs down the left with the text beside it.
- The cover lists every episode with its E-number under the series title; the closing page says 'Coming next' with the call to action. Logo top left and the page counter top right on every page.
