Fill the blanks
A word-game pad: a short paragraph from the audience's world with two to four underlined gaps, each labelled with a tiny part of speech ('tool', 'feeling'), plus an optional bank of word tiles. Filling blanks is irresistible — people paste their own version in the comments and the funniest gets shared.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Fill the blanks for posts that start a conversation or entertain, when the message is a question or a story. 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 paragraph is relatable and funny once filled; each blank has a clear part of speech in [brackets].
- Two to four blanks only; word-bank words are suggestions anyone could use — no names or numbers.
Visual rules
- A white word-game pad on a striped brand-tint desk: a brand header strip with a condensed title and a perforated tear edge, the paragraph in a large serif with underlined, softly washed gaps and tiny mono labels beneath each.
- Word-bank tiles with hard ink shadows and slight tilts; an ink reply pill, logo and website on the desk.
