There’s no doubt that content marketing for your company can be extremely time-consuming and labor intensive. Creating social media posts, blog entries, and email templates will drain up a lot of your energy over time, especially if you want it to be well-researched and effective. So what if there was a way to make this a lot easier without having to reinvent the wheel every time? It turns out repurposing content does exactly what you’re looking for and can give you the highest level of return.
What is Repurposing Content?
Repurposing is identifying valuable existing brand assets and reusing them intelligently to create new media for audiences to consume. It stretches the usability of the content and allows you to be creative with it to produce different pieces, including blog posts, ebooks, guides, infographics, guest posts, social media posts, and more.
This can shrink workloads, promote consistency and help you get every drop of value from your creative investments. In terms of digital assets, repurposing is all about adapting images, videos, and other media for use in different channels, promotions, and campaigns.
