Create once, distribute everywhere. Every flagship piece should spawn at least 5 derivative assets. Track each one in the Repurposing Queue.

Step-by-step

1. Choose the source. Pick flagship content: a long-form article, webinar, podcast, video, report or case study that performed well or covers a core pillar.
2. Audit for reusable pieces. Highlight quotable lines, statistics, step lists, frameworks, customer stories, FAQs and contrarian takes.
3. Map pieces to formats. Match each piece to the format and channel where it fits best (see the matrix below).
4. Log it in the Repurposing Queue. One row per derivative asset, linked to its source content, with an owner and due date.
5. Adapt, don't copy-paste. Rewrite hooks, resize visuals and adjust tone for each channel's norms. Link back to the source.
6. Schedule and stagger. Spread derivatives across 2-4 weeks so the idea stays alive instead of landing all at once.
7. Measure and learn. Log performance for each asset. Double down on the formats that outperform.
8. Refresh evergreen winners. Every quarter, review top performers older than 6 months and update or re-promote them.

Repurposing methods

• Slice: pull a clip, quote or stat out of the original.
• Reformat: change the medium (article to video, webinar to blog).
