Layout 1
Big line
One line of text on a clean background. The fastest post you can make.
A founder needs six post layouts, set up once. After that, posting is changing a line and a photo.
Free: your brand in 3 real designs, in 48 hours.
Social media post templates for founders are ready post designs in the company brand. The founder changes the words and the photo. The logo, colours and fonts stay locked.
Most founders need six layouts: a big line, a quote, a result, a photo post, a hiring post and a launch post. Set them up once and you never start from a blank page again.
This page is about the look of the post. For the words, see LinkedIn post templates for B2B teams.

A real question from founders: what do I do until I can hire someone?
Most early founders do one of three things. They ask a freelancer for every post. They make posts alone in a free tool and the look drifts. Or they skip visuals and post plain text.
There is a fourth way. Get a small brand set up by a designer once: logo, colours, fonts and a few post layouts. Then make the daily posts yourself inside that set. Read what a startup branding package holds for what that set looks like.
| Way | Good | Watch out |
|---|---|---|
| Ask a freelancer each time | Always polished | You wait, and you ask again next week |
| Make posts alone in a free tool | Fast | The look drifts after a few posts |
| Plain text, no picture | No setup | Less attention on a busy feed |
| Ready brand designs, you change the words | Fast and on brand | Needs a one-time setup |

Fill it in once per layout. Hand it to a designer, or use it as your own rules.
Layout name: [e.g. Big line] Used for: [e.g. lessons and opinions] How often: [e.g. twice a week] LOCKED - Logo: [version, corner, size] - Colours: [background + text colours, with hex] - Fonts: [big line font + size, small text font + size] - Margins: [how much space around the text] OPEN - Big line: [8 words or fewer] - Small text: [up to 15 words, or none] - Photo: [from approved photos] Good example: [link] Bad example: [link, and why it is bad] Owner: [name] - ask before changing locked parts
Show the good and the bad example. People copy what they see. See logo usage guidelines for how to show a bad example.
A designer is still right for the brand itself. The Brand OS Portal is for the daily work after.
In a Brand OS Portal the post designs are made for your brand. You open Social Studio, pick a design, change the words and the photo, and download the post as feed, square or story. You stop paying a designer for every post.

Lock the logo, colours and fonts, and leave the words and the photo open.
Yes, once a designer has set up the brand and the layouts. After that you change the words and the photo.
Both can work. A personal post with the company look makes the link between you and the company clear.
