Do you have a definite brief?
Is the idea meant for a station ident, ie-are there words that have to be fit to the melody?
Time limit?
Tempo?
style?
All of these things provide a backbone to build up a melody, and I would set up a project with say 3 ideas in series.
This will allow you to work on multiple ideas with common instrumentation.
It will at least allow you to use some originality in the idea, which might inspire.
My point is, at least this way, you will have the satisfaction of knowing you came up with an idea, and if successful, it might lead to bigger projects, rather than sounding too generic and built on the same loops everybody uses.
I'd use it as an opportunity to try to stand out from the crowd, somebody might notice the effort, and hopefully it will be somebody who matters.
good luck anyway.
This is initially a favour in return for Novum FM playing our first song, it’s a bit of a MOR station .
the sample they gave us was
Disco style beat...Jackson’s style.
around 10-12sec.long.
we have some words to fit in.
thanks !

I would take a scattergun approach, rather than grafting over a single idea, set up a timeline with 3 or 4 regions-each 10-12 secs long, Disco has a pretty strict tempo style, and the words will indicate some kind of melody line, just have fun with it.
You can set up instruments to mix and match across the 3 or 4 ideas you have running.
If you have a reference track, that will indicate the type of instrumentation you should use, at least 80's synths had some rhythmic component to keep up the excitement.
You might want a bar in and a bar out, so that cuts the time down a bit.
Limitations can easily encourage ideas.
At least then you could be offering them 3 or 4 quick ideas, and it could easily spark more involved things.
Get lucky!
