Annotated rewrite
A before-and-after rewrite, marked up like an editor would: the original line struck through on a white card, numbered handwritten notes on what was wrong, and the rewrite set bold on a dark card offset below. Teaches by showing the edit — ideal for copy, briefs, pitches and emails.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Annotated rewrite for posts that teach or start a conversation, when the message is a contrast (this, not that), a side-by-side comparison or one sharp insight. 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.
- Both lines come from the post word for word; notes are short margin remarks.
Visual rules
- A white 'before' card with a cross tag and the original in serif, struck through in the brand pen colour; numbered handwritten notes in circled numerals under it in the same pen colour.
- A dark 'after' card with a tick tag and the rewrite large and bold, offset to the right; kicker, logo and headline on top, website (and call to action) in the foot.
