Textcomposing

German to English Marketing Advertising / Public Relations ad campaign
This is from a description of all the possibilities for an advertising campaign:

Fertige Assets inklusive Textcomposings für Ihre Social Media Kanäle

I hate trying to translate these silly Denglish words back into proper English.

"text composings" or text compositions" certainly won’t work.

Maybe something along the lines of "copy"?

This may be useful:

AI Copywriting

A token, alternative answer for the benefit of non-regular ProZ voters, AI standing for ArtIficial Intelligence, rather than Advanced Idiocy.

The (Spurs-supporting, monolingual English) human copywriters at our Central London T&I Office had - 30 years ago anyway - been made redundant by the New Techonogy of DTP / desk-top publishing.

neutral Steffen Walter : This is the generic term for the process that does not fit this particular context, which refers to the results of such process.

[complete] social media text posts

If this relates to ready-to-use assets, generated on-demand per social media channel, then [complete/fully formed] social media text posts might fit.

Or ready-composed / auto-composed social media posts / copy

In that case, you'd opt for 'content', not just 'text/copy'.

sorry, the 'in that case' note was in reply to Steffen's 'surrounding context' comment below

and 'post' would also cover both text and image content
Peer comment(s):

neutral Steffen Walter : Not just "text" - these assets surely also include images and audio/video content. / Sure, but the surrounding context tells you otherwise.

yes, I pondered that, but the source term specifies Text in this case
