    49: Why Content Needs a New Superpower

    What if the reason your content isn’t working has nothing to do with ideas, and everything to do with ambition? In this episode of The Content Universe, host Mikkel Svold goes solo and argues that the superpower of content marketing in 2026 is a slightly uncomfortable combo, being overly ambitious, and then being brutally pragmatic about how you’ll pull it off. He uses a prospect conversation as the trigger, three to four blog posts in six months, and breaks down why that kind of ambition quietly kills content before it even starts. This matters if you’re in a large B2B or engineering company, because your constraints are real, time, tools, quality checks, the whole thing. The point isn’t to ignore them. It’s to set the bar high enough that you’re forced to build a system that can actually keep up. In this episode you’ll learn:Ambition sets direction, pragmatism makes execution possibleLow output often comes from low ambition, not lack of ideasFresh content still matters, even when repurposing worksGlobal audiences require higher publishing frequencyConstraints help shape better, faster workflowsPerfection slows production more than it improves resultsChapters00:00 – The superpower of content marketing 03:04 – Rethinking publishing cadence for global audiences 05:59 – Time, quality, and practical compromises 09:27 – Daily podcasts, daily posts, and bullet thinking 11:35 – Competing with AI through output and personality

    48: Medical Company: "We cannot promote the products we make" – How ALK runs marketing anyway

    How do you communicate when the rules are fixed and not up for discussion? In this episode, Mikkel Svold is joined by Maiken Riise Andersen, Head of Corporate Communication and Branding at ALK, to talk about what content creation actually looks like inside a highly regulated industry. Where compliance is not a guideline, but legislation. They discuss how ALK works with clear frameworks, structured approval flows, and mandatory training to make sure employees can communicate with confidence rather than hesitation. Not by tightening control, but by making the rules understandable and usable. The conversation covers employee advocacy, content planning, and approval processes, and why structure often becomes the foundation for creativity rather than a limitation. Especially when the alternative is uncertainty. This episode is for anyone working with content, communications, or branding in an environment where you cannot just “post and see what happens”. And for those who are starting to realise that clear boundaries are sometimes what make participation possible. # In this episode you’ll learn: Compliance is not the enemy. Unclear rules are.Rules work best when people understand what they can do, not only what they cannot.Training creates confidence. Confidence creates participation.Employee advocacy fails when people are afraid of doing something wrong.Clear frameworks turn restrictions into workable boundaries.Planning ahead is not bureaucracy. It is what makes speed possible later.Most content can be prepared long before it is published. Even in regulated industries.When compliance is systemised, creativity does not disappear. It becomes usable. # Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Marketing Challenges in Pharma 01:54 Differences in Corporate Communication 03:59 Navigating Compliance Regulations 07:10 Training Employees on Social Media Compliance 12:10 Creating a Positive Compliance Culture 18:37 The Shift in Employee Engagement 22:24 Approval Processes in Pharmaceutical Marketing 29:30 Recommendations for Effective Communication Strategies This podcast is brought to you by Montanus.

    47: What to copy from our content strategy in 2026

    About This EpisodeMost companies on LinkedIn are doing the same thing: posting whatever comes to mind. A workshop photo here, a quick thought there, a team dinner shot on a Friday afternoon. It feels like staying active. It looks like content. But if you step back and look at the whole feed, there's usually no thread. No pattern. Nothing that tells a potential client what you actually stand for or what you're trying to achieve. In this solo episode of the Content Universe, Mikkel Svold makes the case for content categories, a simple but surprisingly underused framework for giving your company's social media a backbone. Not a complicated editorial calendar, not a 30-page content strategy document. Just three to five defined buckets of content, each tied directly to what your business is trying to accomplish. This is a short, sharp episode: part provocation, part practical framework. If your company is producing content that feels disconnected from your strategy, or if you have a nagging sense that your LinkedIn presence isn't doing the positioning work it should be, this one is worth your time. In This EpisodeWhy posting the "idea of the day" is a trap, even when those posts get good engagementThe strategic logic behind building content categories tied to your business objectivesThe four content buckets Mikkel recommends for most B2B companiesWhy knowledge sharing posts position you as an expert, but social posts don't, and why you need bothThe content category most B2B companies neglect: services and productsA simple test for whether your clients actually know what you can do for themHow content categories remove ideation paralysis and make batch content creation possibleKey Quotes"By all means, do all of those posts. But when it comes to building thought leadership, especially on LinkedIn, I find that these one-off idea-of-the-day kind of posts, they are a little bit insufficient just by themselves." "I don't actually sell what I'm doing right now. I'm not selling doing this video. I'm not earning money doing this video. I earn money from selling marketing, helping marketing departments for producing content for them." "I bet you they only know that single thing because what you do only takes up like one percent of their daily work, and what you do takes up 100% of your daily work."

    45: Thought Leadership is NOT about you

    I’m sorry. But thought leadership is not about you . It never was. It’s a mistake that many companies do when they try to promote a thought leadership strategy in their marketing . And even that sentence doesn’t really make sense. Because thought leadership is not marketing thought leadership is branding. So stop trying to sell your products . Stop trying to push your services. And start delivering industry specific value. In today’s episode you’ll get my approach to tackling thought leadership.

    43: Is AI in Content Production already Dead?

    all across different kinds of media, different kinds of channels, different business areas and industries we see the same trend. A trend pointing out that we are already as a consumer, as a client, and as a human being, tied out from reading and watching AI generated content. Maybe it’s just me? Maybe you feel it too? But yet another shift in how we produce content is around the corner - let’s hope we can rehumanize stories and content.
