LISTS & FRAMEWORKS TEMPLATE

Red-pen mistakes

An 'N mistakes' list marked up by an editor: each common mistake struck through with a red-pen highlight and crossed out (in a palette colour when the brand states one), the fix handwritten beneath it in the same ink, and a stamp on the page — correction is more memorable than advice.

When the AI picks it

MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Red-pen mistakes for posts that teach, start a conversation or entertain, when the message is a list or a contrast (this, not that). It is built first to teach.

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

  1. Mistakes are real patterns the business sees in its work; fixes are what it would actually advise.
  2. Write mistakes as people do them (no blame), and fixes as short imperatives.

Visual rules

  1. White hole-punched sheet; each mistake struck with a marker band and a hand-drawn cross in the editor's pen (a palette colour when the brand states one, classic red otherwise).
  2. Fixes in the pen's handwriting with an arrow; a rubber stamp in the same ink near the title.
