Why should you re-use video content?
Many marketing videos are ‘evergreen’. This means that the content isn’t time dependent and will have ongoing relevance and interest to your audience. Plus, with the average tweet lasting just a few seconds, repurposed content is a great way to increase visibility in your social feeds – especially if you use different hashtags each time.
Your animation, customer testimonial or product explainer video needs to work hard for you so repurposing content gives you far more bang for your buck.

Here are some great ways to repurpose your video or photography content across all online channels.
- Shorter clips from longer interviews work well on social channels because of the limited clip lengths you have to work with.
- A TV Commercial can also be used as part of a social media campaign broadening the reach to a different audience.
- Could your webinar be repurposed as a video tutorial? Post to Youtube and help it gain a new audience after your original webinar is gone and forgotten.

- Transform audio from your footage into a helpful/educational podcast.
- Add subtitles to existing video to create a newer version that viewers can read as well as view.
- Could clips from your Facebook Live broadcast or Zoom call be taken and used in a more detailed piece about your business, or a particular part of it?
- Can your video content fit into other pieces of media, such as an interactive timeline or infographic?
