Repurposing = Taking one strong idea and **repackaging it for a new format, platform, or objective.** It is strategic amplification. ### STEP 1: START WITH STRATEGY (NOT DOWNLOADS) Before touching any assets, answer this: ### 🎯 What Is the Goal? - Brand awareness? - Lead generation? - Sales? - Partnerships? - Community building? - TikTok Shop sales? - Email subscribers? 👉 If you don’t know the goal, you can’t repurpose strategically. --- ### 🎯 Who Is The Target Audience? Review Core Mesaging doc. If you don't have one. Create one.   Ask: - What keeps this audience up at night? - What emotional trigger moves them? - Guilt? Hope? Pride? Impact? Identity? --- ### 🎯 What Has Already Worked? Conduct a mini Social Media Audit. On your content as well as competitors. Refer to Social Media Audit.  Ask: - What posts had the most: - Shares? - Saves? - Comments? - Views? - Why did they perform well? - Strong hook? - Emotional storytelling? - Collaboration tag? - Strong visuals? - Clear CTA? 👉 Look for PATTERNS, not one-offs. Example pattern: - Emotional storytelling performs well. - Founder voice performs better than faceless content. - Visual shots get high engagement. Now we replicate those patterns intentionally. --- ### STEP 2: ASSET INVENTORY (What Are We Working With?) Before creating anything new, audit what already exists. ### 🔎 Audit Categories ### 1️⃣ Website - Images - Mission statements - FAQ copy - Impact stats - Partner quotes Tool: - CSS Peeper (Chrome extension) to pull imagery Ask: - Can we turn website copy into a carousel? - Can FAQ answers become Reels? - Can stats become infographics? --- ### 2️⃣ Instagram / TikTok - Old Reels - Carousel posts - High-performing captions Ask: - Can we re-edit this with a stronger hook? - Can we cut this to 10 seconds instead of 45? - Can we change the CTA? Example: Old post: “We clean rivers in Guatemala.” Repurposed: Hook: “If your bathtub was flooding… would you mop the floor or turn off the faucet?” → Use clip from founders podcast (2:20 reference) That’s a new Reel. Same idea. Stronger framing. --- ### 3️⃣ YouTube (Goldmine) Find videos that are long form.  Repurposing Ideas: 🎬 Long-form → Short-form: - Pull 15–30 second clips - Add captions - Add hook text - Add B-roll overlay - Add emotional music 🎙 Audio → Reel: Take founder audio and use it strategically. Add text: That becomes: - Reel - TikTok - YouTube Short One clip → 4 platforms. --- ### 4️⃣ Testimonials = Trust Content Example quote: > “We’re proud to partner with Tidey…” Repurpose into: - Carousel slide: Partner spotlight - Reel: “Why brands choose Tidey” - Graphic: Quote over Guatemala photo - Case study post - LinkedIn post for partnerships Strategic question: Is this content: - For donors? - For brand partnerships? - For B2B positioning? Always align repurpose with goal. --- ### 5️⃣ FAQs = Authority Content Turn into: - Reel: “How do we prove your impact?” - Carousel: “5 Things That Make Tidey Different” - Story series: “Nonprofit Myth vs Reality” Educational content builds authority. --- ### 6️⃣ Blogs / Emails Turn into: - 3 carousel posts - 5 short quotes - 1 infographic - 1 Reel script One blog = 10+ pieces of content. --- ### STEP 3: THE REPURPOSING FRAMEWORK Here’s the formula students should follow: ### 🧠 The 4–Angle Repurpose Model Take one core idea and repurpose it through 4 lenses: 1. Emotional 2. Educational 3. Social Proof 4. Action-Driven Example Core Idea: “We clean rivers in Guatemala.” --- ### Emotional Angle “Children are playing next to this river.” Hook: “You can’t unsee this.” --- ### Educational Angle “80% of ocean plastic starts in rivers.” Hook: “The ocean isn’t the source. Rivers are.” --- ### Social Proof Angle “Here’s what our partners say.” --- ### Action Angle “$5 funds X pounds of plastic removal.” --- One idea. Four strategic executions. --- ### STEP 4: EXECUTION CHECKLIST Before posting repurposed content: ✔ Does it have a strong hook in first 3 seconds? ✔ Is the text large and readable? ✔ Is there a clear CTA? ✔ Is it optimized for platform (Reel vs TikTok vs LinkedIn)? ✔ Is the goal clear? If not — it’s just recycled content. --- ### STEP 5: PLATFORM-SPECIFIC STRATEGY ### Instagram - Emotional storytelling - Visual impact - Reels with hooks - Carousels for saves ### TikTok - Strong hook - Fast cuts - Text overlays - Educational or opinion-based takes - TikTok Shop integration for bracelets ### LinkedIn - Partnership focus - Impact stats - Founder POV - B2B positioning --- ### STEP 6: MULTIPLY OUTPUT 1 YouTube video can become: - 3 Reels - 5 TikToks - 2 LinkedIn posts - 1 Carousel - 4 Quote graphics - 1 Email - 1 Blog recap This is how agencies scale. --- ### COMMON STUDENT MISTAKES 🚫 Just reposting without reframing 🚫 No hook 🚫 No CTA 🚫 Not aligning with goal 🚫 Not checking what performed well first 🚫 Making it about the brand instead of the audience - [Branding](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/branding?hsLang=en) - [Client Experience](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/client-experience?hsLang=en) - [Content Marketing](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/content-marketing?hsLang=en) - [Employee Hiring Operations](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/employee-hiring-operations?hsLang=en) - [Employee Onboarding Operations](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/employee-onboarding-operations?hsLang=en) - [Employee Onboarding Trainings](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/employee-onboarding-trainings?hsLang=en) - [Google Drive](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/google-drive?hsLang=en) - [Green House Experience](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/green-house-experience?hsLang=en) - [Green House Website](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/green-house-website?hsLang=en) - [Keyword Research](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/keyword-research?hsLang=en) - [Lead Generation](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/lead-generation?hsLang=en) - [On-Campus Event Planning](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/on-campus-event-planning?hsLang=en) - [Paid Media](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/paid-media?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Google Ads](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/paid-media?hsLang=en#google-ads) - [Reputation Management](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/reputation-management?hsLang=en) - [Sales Process](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/sales-process?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Sales Class Trainings](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/sales-process?hsLang=en#sales-class-trainings) - [Search Engine Optimization](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/search-engine-optimization?hsLang=en) - [Social Media](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/social-media?hsLang=en#main-content) - [LinkedIn](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/social-media?hsLang=en#linkedin) - [Social Media Audit](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/social-media?hsLang=en#social-media-audit) - [Weekly All Hands Meetings](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/weekly-all-hands-meetings?hsLang=en) - [Website Development](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/website-development?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Elementor Trainings](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/website-development?hsLang=en#elementor-trainings) - [Green House Tools (apps/services)](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/green-house-tools-apps-services?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/green%20house%20sales%20and%20marketing.png?width=98&height=17&name=green%20house%20sales%20and%20marketing.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.greenhouseuvu.com) Copyright © 2026, UVU WSB Marketing Department
