First day aboard
A newcomer's first-day desk, seen from above — a taped 'welcome aboard' note in handwriting, the person's name and role, a short note from the team, a coffee mug, a plant and a 'Day one' card. Warm, human and exactly what a first day should feel like.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the First day aboard for posts that hire, start a conversation or announce news, when the message is one sharp insight or a story. It is built first to hire.
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 person: a founder, a team member or a customer
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 name and role come from the post exactly; the note only says what the post says about the person.
- No invented background, past employers or numbers.
- Warm and personal; no hiring call to action (that is the 'We're hiring' format).
Visual rules
- A desk seen from above (a neutral grain) with a coffee mug, a plant and a keyboard at the edges; a large note taped in the middle with 'Welcome aboard,' in handwriting in the brand colour, the name in big heading type, the role, a short rule, a handwritten note, and the sign-off beside the logo at its foot.
- A deep brand 'Day one' card with the start date sits beside the note where there is room.
