Periodic table
'The periodic table of …': the post's building blocks as element tiles — a running number, a two-letter symbol made from the name, the name itself — coloured by group with a key. A playful, save-worthy map of everything a topic is made of.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Periodic table for posts that teach, start a conversation or entertain, when the message is a list or real projects or past work. 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
- Every label is the post's own idea in a few words; diagrams carry no number, name or result the post does not.
- Element names are short nouns; groups are one word each and come from the post.
Visual rules
- A grid of square element tiles in palette colours by group, each with a mono running number, a large two-letter symbol built from its name and the name at the foot; a key of group swatches below the grid.
- Kicker and logo on top, the headline large (left column in landscape); the website in the foot row.
