Footnoted headline
An editorial launch statement — the product's name and what it does, in one large sentence — where every claim carries a superscript number and is backed by a footnote with the specifics. Confident but checkable: the reader gets the big idea and the proof in the same glance.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Footnoted headline for posts that announce news, teach or prove a point, when the message is one sharp insight or a list. 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
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 three claim fragments must read as one sentence after the product name, with their own punctuation.
- Each footnote states the concrete specifics behind its claim, from the post — never a new claim or number.
Visual rules
- One large sentence in the heading face: an italic serif lead word in the brand colour, the product name on a highlighter band, brand-colour superscript numbers after each claim.
- A short ink rule, then the numbered footnotes in body type (beside the sentence on landscape); logo top left, website at the foot.
