Drive Growth Like a BOSS by Repurposing Content - a podcast by Dan Nedelko

Imagine you’re cleaning out your home, refreshing the space for spring, only to find some old clothing or piece of tech that hasn’t been touched in an eternity. Now that they’ve outlived their usage, do you throw these items away or find a creative new use for them?

If you’re prudent, it’s the latter. Ditto for marketing.Today, marketing requires fresh content to be created on a regular publishing cycle. For many marketing departments, this can tax resources to the breaking point.

Repurposing, however, saves you a considerable amount of resource allocation, allowing you to reiterate your message in new and creative ways – plus it safeguards your team’s sanity. But how exactly do you do that?Let's dive in!
