Mark 1:15
"…The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel". ESV. My emphasis.
In Mark 1:15 Jesus was near, or at, the beginning of His ministry. In the next verse, Mark 1:16, He is calling His first disciples. So towards the beginning of His ministry Jesus says "the gospel".
From 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
"Now I would remind you, of the gospel I preached to you…3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,".
For Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 "the gospel" is to do with Christ dying, being buried and raised. But in Mark 1:15 before Christ dies, is buried and raised, Jesus says "believe in the gospel".
What does "the gospel" mean in Mark 1:15?
