Content Repurposing
Content Repurposing, in the context of social media, refers to the strategic process of taking a single piece of content, such as a blog post, video, podcast, infographic, or other forms of media, and transforming it into different formats or variations to maximize its usability, reach, and engagement across multiple social media platforms, channels, or audiences.
It entails customizing and adjusting the primary content to fit the distinct needs, tastes, and top practices of each platform. This could involve turning a deeply thought-out YouTube video into short, engaging snippets for Instagram Stories, Reels, or TikTok. It might include summarizing a blog post into a series of informative tweets or Instagram carousel posts. Or it could be converting the main points of a podcast episode into visually appealing quote graphics, LinkedIn articles, or Pinterest pins.
Content repurposing aims to conserve the time and effort needed to create new content while maximizing the reach of a message. It increases brand visibility, enhances audience engagement, and allows content to target various audience segments who consume content in distinct manners.
For one thing, it lets marketers and social media managers keep their content pipelines humming and active without the need to keep cranking out new material. And for another, it ensures that the stuff we’ve already created is given fresh life and new relevance on a constant basis.
When they smartly reuse content, that is, when they use it in a way that is appropriate for the new context into which it is being moved, not just vaguely similar to the old context, brands can follow the strategic content playbook recommended by Whitney and Sutton. They can 'stay consistent' and 'reinforce their messaging across channels.' They can, with the content now optimized for the new context, align with 'platform-specific trends.'
