Content Repurposing
Adapting existing content into new formats to reach different audiences.
Definition
Content repurposing is the practice of taking an existing piece of content and adapting, reformatting, or repackaging it for a different medium, channel, or audience segment. A long-form blog post might be repurposed into a YouTube video script, a series of social media posts, an email newsletter, an infographic, or a podcast episode.
Why It Matters
Content repurposing dramatically increases the ROI of every piece of content you create. Different audience segments consume content in different ways and on different platforms. It also helps reinforce key messages through repetition across channels.
Examples

Webinar → Multiple formatsOne webinar becomes a blog recap, a podcast episode, and 30 social clips
Common Mistakes
Repurposing poor-performing content.
