Red flag or green flag?
One scenario from the audience's world set big under a 'Red flag or green flag?' banner, above a two-sided voting scale: a warning flag with a cross at one end, a brand flag with a tick at the other and an empty '?' knob in the middle. The internet's favourite verdict, applied to one situation — everyone has an opinion and leaves it in the comments.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Red flag or green flag? for posts that start a conversation, entertain or teach, when the message is a question, one sharp insight or a contrast (this, not that). 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
- One specific scenario people can judge in a second; it may be debatable, but it is never about a named company or person.
- Write it as a situation (what happens), not as a verdict — the comments give the verdict.
Visual rules
- Paper ground: outlined kicker tag and website, a condensed banner over a heavy ink rule, a brand quote mark and the scenario as large as it fits.
- A split voting bar (night warning half, brand half — white when the brand is dark) under a tick ruler, an original flag with a cross planted at the warning end and one with a tick at the brand end, an empty '?' knob in the centre and condensed labels; ink reply pill and logo.
