Release line
A product's releases drawn as a transit line: a station sign with a round line bullet and the product's name, then a thick brand-colour line whose stations are the releases — version, date and what it brought — ending at a ringed 'you are here' station for the latest one. Shows momentum the way a commuter reads a line map.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Release line for posts that announce news, prove a point or teach, when the message is a timeline 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
Made for Software & apps. The Director offers it only to brands of that kind, so it never turns up for a business it does not suit.

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 station is a real release from the post with its own version; dates only when stated.
- Oldest first; the last station is the current release.
Visual rules
- A dark station sign with a round brand-colour line bullet (the product's initials), the product's name and the logo; a thick brand-colour line with white stations ringed in ink, the last one filled and ringed in the brand colour with a 'you are here' tag.
- Each station labelled with a mono version, a mono date and a short title in the heading face; vertical line on portrait and square, horizontal on landscape.
