The real competition on LinkedIn is not other creators. It’s human attention. And attention is getting harder to earn. Every day, we scroll through: Advice Frameworks Hot takes Stories All are competing for the same thing. A pause. A few extra seconds. We were reflecting on this after seeing a simple but powerful idea from Tijana Savović: Before you post, ask… "Would I read this if I didn’t write it?” That question does something interesting. It forces you to step out of the creator mindset… And into the audience's mindset. Most content fails not because it lacks value. But because it lacks entry. There’s no hook. No tension. No reason to care. And in a world where people skim more than they read… That’s everything. Research and behavior patterns show that people don’t read deeply on platforms like LinkedIn. They scan. They decide quickly. And only then do they commit to reading. Which means the future of content is not about writing more. It’s about writing in a way that earns attention instantly. This creates a new kind of skill gap. On one side: People who know a lot But can’t get attention On the other: People who know how to package ideas So they actually get consumed And the second group wins. Not because they’re smarter. But because they’re seen. Which leads to a bigger shift. Content is no longer just about knowledge. It’s about translation. Turning ideas into something: Relatable Skimmable Compelling Something that feels worth stopping for. Because if your content doesn’t pass the simplest test… “Would I read this?” Nothing else matters. We keep coming back to this perspective from Tijana Savović. Because in a world of infinite content… The real advantage is not what you know. It’s whether people choose to pay attention to it. Link in comments.

Ranking #1 on Google might soon be the least valuable win in marketing. Sounds wrong? The data says otherwise ⤵️ For the last two decades, SEO success looked like this: → Rank on page 1 → Get traffic → Convert visitors But search behavior is shifting fast. According to Gartner, traditional search engine volume could drop by up to 25% by 2026 as users move toward AI assistants and answer engines. And user behavior is already changing. Research from the Pew Research Center shows that more than half of internet users now rely on AI tools for explanations and answers. Which creates a new problem. Search engines show 10 results. AI tools give one answer. So the question becomes: Are we optimizing for ranking… or for being cited in the answer itself? This is the difference between: SEO → Optimizing for search rankings → Backlinks and domain authority → Appearing on result pages AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) → Optimizing for AI citations → Structured data and FAQ schemas → Clear, direct answers And here is the uncomfortable truth. You can rank #1 on Google and never appear in an AI response. But you can sit on page 3 and still be the source AI references. Even Google is moving in this direction with AI Overviews answering queries directly in the results page. This whole conversation started for us after reading insights from Emilia Möller 👏 Her breakdown on the difference between SEO and AEO forced us to rethink how visibility works in AI search. The real question now is: Are we optimizing pages… Or becoming the source behind answers? More on this inside our AI Search Accelerator. Link in comments.

The biggest shift in marketing is not AI. It’s a return to principles. We are surrounded by tactics. New tools. New platforms. New “growth hacks.” Every week, something new. And yet… The fundamentals haven’t changed. We were reflecting on this after reading a post by Pierre Herubel outlining what the best marketers consistently get right. Not hacks. Principles. Things like: Understanding your audience deeply Mapping messaging across awareness stages Giving strategies time to compound Aligning channels instead of isolating them What’s interesting is how counterintuitive this feels today. Because modern marketing rewards speed. Ship fast. Test fast. Move fast. But principle-driven marketing rewards something else. Consistency over time. And that creates a gap. On one side: Marketers chasing tactics that change every 3 months On the other: Marketers building systems that work for years That gap is where the real advantage is forming. Because when everyone has access to the same tools… The differentiator is no longer execution speed. It’s strategic depth. Which leads to a bigger shift. The best marketers in the next decade won’t be the ones who know the most tools. They’ll be the ones who understand: How buyers think How attention builds How trust compounds How messaging evolves across the journey And then apply those principles consistently across any channel. Tools will change. Algorithms will change. Formats will change. But principles? They scale across every environment. That’s why this perspective from Pierre Herubel feels important. Because while everyone is chasing what’s new… The real advantage might come from mastering what never changes. Link in comments.

Startups vs Enterprises: The Innovation Trade-Off In this clip, Vishnu Acharya, Head of Network Infrastructure EMEA at @Uber, breaks down how startups and enterprises approach building differently. Startups often move fast, making scrappy trade-offs to prioritize speed and cost while still aiming for quality ⚡ Large enterprises, on the other hand, have abundant resources, but that can sometimes lead to complacency. Without intentional effort, systems can become stale, even if they’re easy to build 🏢 The key insight? 👉 Constraints drive creativity. 👉 Too many resources can hide inefficiencies. Balancing speed, quality, and innovation is where real engineering excellence lies 🚀 Listen to the full podcast now!

The future of work might be shaped less by companies… …and more by managers. For decades, we’ve thought about careers like this: Choose the right company Choose the right role Choose the right industry But something is quietly shifting. People are starting to optimize for something else. Who they work under. We were reflecting on this after reading an insight from Nathan Hirsch: People don’t quit jobs. They quit managers. And when you zoom out, this idea is bigger than it seems. Because work today is no longer just about tasks. It’s about experience. And that experience is shaped daily by one person: Your manager. Not the CEO. Not the brand. Not the company values page. Your manager. They control: How feedback is delivered How trust is built How growth is enabled How mistakes are handled And over time, those interactions compound. Into either: Energy Or exhaustion Engagement Or detachment Growth Or stagnation What’s interesting is how subtle this is. Most managers don’t think they are “toxic.” But small behaviors create big outcomes. Micromanaging one project Dismissing one idea Forgetting to give credit Individually, they seem minor. Collectively, they define the environment. Research and observations show that things like poor leadership, lack of communication, and limited growth opportunities are some of the biggest drivers of attrition. Which leads to a bigger shift. In the future, talent won’t just choose companies. They will choose leaders. And leaders won’t just be evaluated on output. They will be evaluated on: How many people they grow How many people they retain How many people want to work with them again Because the best leaders don’t just build teams. They build environments people don’t want to leave. We keep thinking about this perspective from Nathan Hirsch. Because if people don’t quit jobs… Then leadership is no longer a soft skill. It’s the core growth driver of every organization. Link in comments.

Digital Euro: Platform Over Innovation In this clip, Eric Tak, Head of Division for Digital Euro at the @ecb, shares a grounded perspective on the future of payments. He notes that crypto may not yet see widespread adoption in retail payments, and emphasizes that central banks aren’t typically the fastest innovators in this space 💳 Instead, the vision for the digital euro is to act as a foundational platform, providing secure, basic payment infrastructure. Innovation will largely come from the private sector, which can build services and solutions on top of this ecosystem ⚙️ It’s a collaborative model: stability from central banks, innovation from the market 🚀 Listen to the full podcast now!
