Origin story
The brand's origin story as chapters on a timeline — big outlined years, a chapter title and one line each, the present chapter in brand colour. A real history (with real years) earns the kind of trust a tagline can't.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Origin story for posts that start a conversation, prove a point or announce news, when the message is a timeline or a story. It is built first to start a conversation.
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 real number from your post or your brand facts
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 year and milestone comes from the source; never estimate a founding year.
- Chapters are short and concrete — who, where, what changed.
Visual rules
- Outlined condensed years on a diamond-marked rail, chapter numbers in mono, today's year solid brand colour.
- Heavy rules top and bottom like a book's contents page; italic serif sign-off.
