Content Theme

Content Theme


A Content Theme is a recurring subject area your brand cares about. Themes keep your social feed coherent month over month — instead of random posts, your audience starts to recognise the kind of content you publish.


Examples of strong themes:


  • "Founders behind the brand" — interviews, origin stories, lessons
  • "Sustainability in fashion" — material breakdowns, supplier stories, repair tips
  • "AI for solo marketers" — workflows, tool reviews, prompt tips


Most brands have 2–4 themes running at once.


How to set it up


Go to Brand DNA → Content Theme.


Option 1 — Generate


Click Generate. Mavic proposes themes based on what you do and who you serve. Pick the ones that fit and click Add.


Option 2 — Add your own


Click + Add and fill in:


  • Title — short and memorable, e.g. "Tip Tuesday"
  • Tagline — one line that captures the angle, e.g. "A weekly micro-lesson on email marketing for non-marketers."
  • Description — what the theme covers, why it matters to your audience, and 2–3 example post ideas


The more specific your theme description, the better Mavic can stay on-theme when generating.


How Mavic uses Content Themes


  • Ideation — when you ask for post ideas, Mavic mixes ideas across your themes
  • Social media plans — the Ideate workflow distributes themes evenly across the calendar
  • Content gap suggestions — Mavic flags when you've over-indexed on one theme and ignored others


Tips


  • Don't have too many. 2–4 themes at once is the sweet spot. More than that and your feed loses focus.
  • Make themes ownable. A theme should be something only your brand can credibly publish about. "Productivity tips" — too broad. "Productivity tips for hospital nurses" — much better.
  • Refresh quarterly. Retire themes that are getting stale. Add new ones around launches and seasons.
