Desk calendar
A tear-off desk calendar page for an event date: binding rings and torn stubs above a brand header with the month, the day number huge and circled in marker, the weekday when the copy names it, the event and venue handwritten in the notes, an optional 'N days to go' ribbon and the logo printed at the foot — the date people already know how to read.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Desk calendar for posts that announce news, start a conversation or get people to act, when the message is one sharp insight. 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
- Day, month, weekday, year, venue and the days-to-go count all come from the copy; never compute a date or a weekday, and leave a field empty rather than guess it.
- Name the event as the organiser writes it; the detail line is a real hall, stand or time.
Visual rules
- A desk calendar on a tinted desk: metal binding rings, torn stubs along the perforation, a brand header with the month in condensed caps, the day huge in condensed type circled in marker, the weekday in mono.
- Ruled notes with the event and venue in handwriting, a swallowtail 'days to go' ribbon only when the copy gives the count, the logo and website printed at the foot of the page and a stack of pages beneath.
