Fill in the blank
A sentence with a highlighted blank and a blinking cursor on ruled paper — 'fill in the blank' asks for one word, the easiest reply there is, and the answers become the brand's research.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Fill in the blank for posts that start a conversation, when the message is a question or one sharp insight. 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.

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 sentence is about the audience's own experience, so anyone can answer in one or two words.
- No invented numbers or names; the blank is never a trick question.
Visual rules
- Ruled notebook paper with a brand margin line; an outlined kicker label; the sentence as large as it fits with a tinted, brand-underlined blank and a cursor; an optional handwritten hint; a dark reply pill and the logo/website.
