“Content is fire, social media is gasoline.” – Jay Baer

At L.A. Creative Marketing, we’ve tested, tweaked, and transformed hundreds of content campaigns and one thing’s clear: what worked in 2020 doesn’t cut it anymore.

The way people consume content is changing at breakneck speed. And if you’re still posting one blog, one platform, one time… you’re leaving serious growth on the table.

Let’s fix that.

The New Era of Content: It’s Not “Create More” It’s “Create Smart”

Here’s the thing: Most brands are overworked, under-leveraged, and wasting content gold.

What’s the solution? Two words:
Content repurposing.

This isn’t just cutting a blog post into an Instagram carousel. We’re talking about building high-quality, multi-use assets that can be sliced, diced, and distributed everywhere your audience hangs out.

From turning one 2-minute client testimonial into 10 short-form TikToks, 3 quote graphics, 1 LinkedIn case study, and a YouTube Shorts series… to atomizing your live Q&A into an email series + podcast episodes + newsletter snippets this is how smart brands stay omnipresent without burning out.

L.A. Creative pro tip: Every piece of content you create should have at least 5 uses across 3 channels. That’s not a suggestion. That’s the new baseline.

Multi-Channel Distribution: Go Wide, But Go Right

We’ve seen it again and again with our New Orleans clients: being on every platform doesn’t matter where your audience is active.

Here’s what’s working right now in content distribution:

• Instagram Reels & TikTok: Short-form video still rules. Keep it authentic. Use behind-the-scenes footage, client stories, and fast edits.
• LinkedIn: Long-form thought leadership is back. Repurpose blogs as carousel posts. Post real wins. Talk strategy.
• YouTube Shorts: If you’re not uploading your verticals here yet, start today. It’s still early.
• Pinterest & Google Web Stories: Great for visual and lifestyle brands. Repurpose Instagram content into pin formats for major evergreen reach.
• Email: Yes, still. Weekly roundups of your best content (repurposed) keep your list engaged and remind them why they follow you.

And don’t sleep on audio. Micro-podcasting is gaining momentum with short, punchy audio episodes (2-5 minutes) that can be pulled from existing video content.

Content Recycling: Turn Dusty Assets into Revenue Engines

Let’s talk ROI. You don’t need to create fresh content every day. You need to rethink what you already have.

Pull up your last 10 high-performing posts or videos. Now ask:

• Can this be a podcast discussion?
• Can this be repackaged as a carousel?
• Could we film a quick “remix” version with updated stats or visuals?
• Could we make this part of an evergreen campaign?

At L.A. Creative Marketing, we recently helped a local brand in New Orleans repurpose one 12-month-old blog into 6 new videos, a lead magnet, and a viral tweet thread and it outperformed their latest campaign by 40%.

The key? Fresh context. New packaging. Smart timing.

Looking Ahead: Future-Proof Your Content Strategy

Here’s where content strategy is going and how to stay ahead:

1. AI-Assisted Planning
   Use tools like ChatGPT and content mapping software to identify reuse potential before you even publish. Future content should be modular by design.
2. Search-Optimized Repurposing
   Every reused asset should be tweaked for SEO not just republished. That means new titles, relevant keywords, and optimized metadata for each platform.
3. User-Generated Amplification
   Ask your audience to help you repurpose. Host remix challenges. Invite testimonials. Turn client wins into swipe files, interviews, and reels.
4. Analytics-Driven Iteration
   Don’t guess. Use data to guide your next move. Which repurposed formats get the most clicks, saves, or shares? Double down on what works.

Final Thoughts from the L.A. Creative Team

We believe in human-first marketing. That means meeting your audience where they are with content that feels like it was made just for them.

That doesn’t happen by chance.
It happens by strategy, consistency, and smart repurposing.

If your content strategy isn’t built for distribution across today’s channels, you’re not just behind you’re invisible.

But don’t worry, that’s exactly what we’re here for.
