Before you repurpose, reuse, and refresh content there are a few things to think about first.
- Personas: Who is your audience?
- Editorial: What topics will you use to engage with them?
- Content: What materials to use to engage with them?
It’s essential to know who you are creating and repurposing content for in order to create a more useful experience for buyers and to be more effective as a marketer. A few ways you can better understand your target audience include:
