Redacted teaser
A pre-launch teaser as a project file on a dark desk: a brand-edged sheet stamped CLASSIFIED, the headline, a ruled list of what the file says — with the parts that are not public yet blacked out by redaction bars — and the reveal date set large. Builds anticipation while saying only what is true today.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Redacted teaser for posts that announce news or start a conversation, when the message is one sharp insight, a list or a question. 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 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
- Only reveal what the post says; entries the post keeps secret stay empty and render as redaction bars.
- The reveal date is the one the post states — never guess one.
Visual rules
- A white sheet with a brand-colour top edge on a dark desk; a brand-colour rubber stamp in the corner; a bold headline; ruled entries with mono labels where hidden values are solid ink bars with rough edges.
- The reveal date large in the heading face beside a brand-colour button; logo and website on the dark desk under the sheet.
