Steal this template
'Steal this template': a fill-in-the-blanks script (email, brief, opener) in a white editor card with line numbers, highlighted [bracketed placeholders], a copy button and a blinking cursor — pure utility that gets saved and shared.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Steal this template for posts that teach, start a conversation or get people to act, when the message is one sharp insight or steps or a process. 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.

Single image. 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
- The template is genuinely usable as-is: real structure with [placeholders] where the reader's details go.
- Keep it under 10 lines; the tip adds one practical instruction.
Visual rules
- Brand ground with fine stripes, huge uppercase title; a white editor card with file bar, copy button, line-number gutter, mono text, highlighted placeholders and a cursor.
