Documentary title card
A cinematic documentary title card: a darkened film still between letterbox bars, a letter-spaced serif title, 'a film by' the brand and a premiere line — the brand's story framed as a film worth watching.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Documentary title card for posts that announce news, entertain or start a conversation, when the message is a story or one sharp insight. It is built first to announce news.
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
The Director offers it only when these exist. Without them it simply picks another template.
- A photo for the scene: your own, or one made for the post (never with words in it)
The sample shows the template’s own stand-in where the picture goes.
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 title is evocative and short (2–5 words); the logline says what really happens, from the copy.
- Premiere date and locations only when stated; no laurels, awards or reviews.
Visual rules
- A full-bleed still (a brand-lit night horizon when absent) graded dark, black letterbox bars, a mono 'A FILM BY' credit with the brand name, an accent rule, a widely letter-spaced uppercase serif title, an italic logline and a mono premiere line — no laurels.
