    Cut-off 03.09.2026. CPV = CPM ÷ 1,000. These are rates with admission terms and limits; the fund is not equal to expenses, and CPV does not show the full cost of the campaign. Views are a total counter, not unique reach. Approvals are counted separately. Views are not equal to unique reach or sales. Conclusions about marketing mechanics — editorial analysis; the presence of a campaign around a brand does not necessarily mean its direct placement.

    Producing a video and introducing it to a new audience are two independent tasks. In the campaign around Fanatics, participants were offered to publish already prepared branded content. The starting point was a bank of ready-made materials, with which one could start working without their own filming. The open card describes exactly the distribution: it cannot be concluded from it what scenes were in the videos or whether the authors needed to additionally edit long source materials.

    For a marketer, the transition from production to further use of content is interesting here. The ready-made material maintains the general subject of conversation, and the campaign is dedicated to its new publications. Video clipping can precede such a stage if the brand first decides to turn a long video into cuts; in the case of Fanatics, this production step is not disclosed. The published metrics reflect the available statistical slice. The practical lesson lies in the organization itself: already created videos can have a separate distribution plan and introduction to a new audience.

    Data snapshot 03.09.2026. CPV = CPM ÷ 1,000. This is a reward rate with admission conditions and limits, not the actual cost of the entire campaign. The fund is not equal to expenses. Views are a total counter, not unique reach; approved works are counted separately. As of the check date, views have not yet been recorded. Views are not equal to unique reach or sales. Conclusions about marketing mechanics are an editorial analysis; the presence of a campaign around a brand does not necessarily mean its direct placement.

    Tinie Tempah’s performance at Boardmasters, according to the brief’s description, had already generated viral interest. The campaign proposed to extend it: republish selected short fragments, add appropriate text, and monitor image quality. Here, the work began with specific material, the reaction to which the organizers already considered promising for further distribution.

    At the time of the check, the campaign itself had no recorded views yet. Therefore, this example should be read as an intention to continue the newsbreak. Editing highlights and new captions were intended to help present already noticed fragments to the next viewer. For an artist, it is useful to be ready to quickly provide creators with suitable material and quality requirements. A short publication needs clear context even when the original moment is already being discussed. The caption helps explain what a person sees and why this episode of the performance attracted attention.

  • Content Repurposing: How to Create 100 Unique Creatives from One Video

    Content Repurposing: How to Create 100 Unique Creatives from One Video

    Stop creating new content! It’s time to learn how to effectively use what you already have. Look into your team’s shared folders: there’s probably a dusty branded video that took six weeks and a five-figure budget to create, or a webinar recording with a minuscule number of views. Perhaps there’s a product landing page that has never been attached to an email by the sales department, or a transcript of a customer interview read only once. All this work wasn’t bad, but it stopped immediately after publication. In this article, we’ll explore how content repurposing can help you turn one video into 100 unique creatives.

    Meanwhile, your quarterly plan demands even more: more materials, more channels, higher speed. You continue to create, the folder grows, and the true measure of team effectiveness is not the volume produced, but how much of it actually works. This gap costs real money, and it’s easy to overlook.

    Video DNA: How to Break Down Content into “Molecules”

    Blythe Morrow, VP of Product Marketing, directly addresses the math of channels: your buyer may be active on twenty channels, but “you can only fund and support content, communications, and the social aspect on five of them.” Everything you create for the other fifteen must spread further than just the “publish” button.

    This issue surfaced in three recent conversations on the Supercharge Marketing podcast with experts who approach it from different angles:

    • Caroline Crawford, CEO and Founder of Cultiveight Communications, rebuilds content strategies for B2B teams.
    • Francisco Chamorro, Director of Marketing and Communications at BBSI, views content distribution as an operational task.
    • Blythe Morrow, an expert with seventeen years of experience in product marketing.

    Plan the “Splitting” Before Creation

    “They always talk about the ‘what,’ but not enough about the ‘why’ and ‘how it will be distributed,’” says Caroline, describing a typical content meeting.

    The team discusses whether to make branded videos, ads, or blogs. But no one thinks about what will happen the next day. She has seen the end of this story many times: a company spends fifteen thousand dollars on branded videos, publishes them on social media, and, in her words, “tens of thousands of dollars go down the drain.”

    The failure is not in the video, but in the fact that all the budget and energy went into its completion. “All the energy went into making it, and they think that in itself will bring success,” Caroline says. “But it doesn’t. It’s about how you apply it and how you maximize your investment.”

    The solution is a planning stage that costs nothing and is almost always skipped: before starting production, think about how the finished material will be “taken apart.” One long article becomes the source for a lead magnet, a series of newsletters, a set of social media posts, and a video. One recorded conversation can provide material for weeks. Caroline describes this as “repackaging” content into “little pieces that tell your story in different ways.” Planning ahead allows you to shape what you film, write, and structure from the outset.

    First Scale, Then Clone

    Francisco comes to the same conclusion from the operational side. His advice to his past self: “if you’re going to build something, build it so it’s repeatable before you scale.” If you work too hard on one big launch, you get one launch. If you create a format your team can use again, the second time will be many times cheaper.

    Repetition Matrix: No One Saw It the First Time

    Most content is “retired” after one publication, based on the unspoken assumption that the audience has seen it and moved on. Francisco believes this assumption is flawed. “If you spend time and value this material, know that it won’t be seen 100% the first time,” he says. “Therefore, it’s important to reschedule it.”

    “Your job is to give content the longest possible life support,” — Francisco Chamorro.

    This means that cadence (publication frequency) is part of the asset, not just a nice-to-have. Francisco applies this same concept internally and externally, based on two principles: consistency and relevance. “People love repetition.” Communications go out on a predictable day, so the audience forms expectations. And the calendar is edited by data, not opinions: “When we create a topic that works well, we do more of that. When a topic doesn’t work, we discard it.”

    Caroline adds that this doesn’t turn into spam if the content is created with intent. Many B2B teams are so afraid of being “noise” that they publish every two months, draining their funnel. She argues that noise is a function of sameness, not frequency. Repeat the same message in the same format, and people will tune out. Repeat the same message, but “repackaged,” and it will feel new. That’s why the planning stage mentioned earlier is so important. A team that has planned six formats in advance has six legitimate ways to repeat the same thing.

    Expert Approach: Creating “Raw” Material

    In the Room with Clients: Capture Live Video-DNA

    Blythe’s answer to “what to do next” is to stop guessing. Product marketers, she says, “get into their own echo chamber,” and then “play broken telephone with sales,” where sales gives feedback to customers, and marketing gives it to product, and the original words are lost by the second stage.

    Her recipe: get out of the office, talk to sales, sit in on customer calls. Instead of webinars, which she describes as “one-to-many lectures,” she runs small workshops. About twelve people. Cameras on. An honest conversation about what’s happening in their industry, not a product presentation. Product managers and customer success are present and listening.

    Running these meetings regularly yields quick results: 150-160 people a year with whom you’ve had a real conversation, who then populate your LinkedIn and Slack communities and amplify your message publicly. Each sales manager is assigned one roundtable, and the follow-up call becomes “warm” because, as Blythe says, “they are much more likely to pick up the phone and talk to you because you’ve already shown that you value them.”

    And the content problem solves itself as a side effect. Each workshop, she says, “creates incredible content that you can then give to the demand generation team to slice and dice 100 different ways and use for the many campaigns we’re trying to run at the same time.”

    The raw material, created in the language of real customers, is the one that will be used because it already sounds like the market.

    Internal Audit: If Sales Doesn’t Use It, It’s Not Content, It’s a Warehouse

    Francisco is direct about priorities: “I don’t care how cool your video or campaign is, your internal users have to believe in it first. If not, it won’t be successful.” Beautifully crafted material without internal adoption has an audience of zero, so “spending the time and effort to make sure what you’re doing helps your sales team is critical.”

    Repurposing content: how to make 100 unique creatives from one video — illustration 2

    Blythe agrees and clarifies: product marketing is “the custodian of the message, the words we use to describe what we sell.” And the artifact that makes this real is a detailed, open-to-use messaging guide. Her guide covers long and short-form positioning, industry tailwinds and headwinds, every persona (where they live, what they struggle with), and the same depth on competitors. Then the part most teams miss: “keep it updated, share it often, refer to it constantly, and keep adding to that library.”

    She also names a failure mode that’s worse than a vague message. Confused copy at least announces itself. “When it gets specific but in the wrong way because you haven’t thought about who you’re selling to, then that becomes dangerous,” she says, “because you don’t know if it’s working or not.” This is the asset that gets created, approved, published, and quietly underperforms for a year while everyone assumes the channel is the problem.

    Reverse-Engineering the Path: From Clip to Conversion

    Content that never converts isn’t always left unseen. Sometimes it’s seen, then abandoned because the reader has nowhere to go. Caroline’s version of the question: you’ve published repurposed clips, so “what’s the path back to you?” If you haven’t built a route from the public channel to your website, trial, or sales team, “then you’re making it up as you go,” and that’s where the cracks appear.

    She’s equally direct about the order in which teams work. “I think people do it backwards,” she says. “They say, ‘Oh, let’s make this lead magnet, and then we’ll figure out the email.’” Flip that. Decide what the email program is for, then build the lead magnet that feeds it. Her core principle applies to every step of the journey: “the more thought effort it takes for them to do what you want, the less they’re going to do what you want.”

    The same discipline applies to your tech stack, and this is where Francisco is most helpful. He sees two traps in almost every team: “One is that they let the tools drive their strategy. And the other is that they don’t use their tools to their full potential.” Before buying anything, he offers one question: “if you’re paying for software, make sure to ask yourself, am I using it to its full potential?” And about the integrations everyone builds because they can, his rule is worth writing down: “integrating for the sake of integrating is not something I would spend my efforts on.”

    Blythe would add that none of this is cause to be ashamed of a lack of resources. “Everybody is under-resourced,” she says. The teams that get ahead aren’t the ones with more people, but the ones whose existing work covers more of the channels where their buyers are.

    The Bottom Line: How to Cheat the Algorithms and Scale Content

    Don’t start by planning a new asset. Start by auditing last quarter. For each piece of content, ask three questions:

    1. Was it ever republished after the first week?
    2. Was it ever used by sales?
    3. Was it ever cut into a second format?

    Anything that scored zero on all three isn’t a content problem. It’s a distribution and adoption problem, and creating new won’t solve it. Then, pick one asset that deserved better, and give it the second life it never got.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is content repurposing?

    Content repurposing is the process of re-adapting existing content into new formats or for new audiences to maximize its value and reach. For example, a webinar can be turned into articles, short videos for social media, podcasts, and infographics.

    How to make 100 unique videos from one?

    To create many unique videos from a single source, use cutting, reformatting, and adding new elements techniques. For example, from a long webinar, you can cut dozens of short clips for TikTok, Shorts, or Reels, changing the background, adding subtitles, voiceovers, or musical accompaniment. Tools like Lumen5 automate this process.

    Does repurposing help bypass ad bans?

    Yes, content uniqueization through repurposing can help bypass ad bans. Publishing the same creative on different platforms or repeatedly using the same “clone” increases the risk of a ban. Creating variations with altered “video DNA” (visual elements, voice timbre, structure) helps anti-fraud algorithms perceive them as new content.

    Should I order new content or repurpose old content?

    It is optimal to combine both approaches. Creating new, high-quality “raw” material, specifically designed for subsequent “splitting” into many unique units, is the most effective strategy. This allows for significant budget and time savings compared to constantly creating content from scratch.

    How does repurposing affect SEO?

    Content repurposing positively affects SEO because it allows you to create more relevant content on key topics, increase the number of internal and external links, improve behavioral factors (due to format diversity), and enhance visibility in search engines. It also helps reach different audience segments who prefer various information consumption formats.

  • YouTube offers millions for exclusivity: battle for creators with Netflix

    YouTube offers millions for exclusivity: battle for creators with Netflix

    The largest video platform, YouTube, is taking countermeasures in the fight for exclusive content. According to Bloomberg, YouTube is offering leading creators multi-million dollar rewards for refusing to cooperate with Netflix and hosting videos exclusively on its platform. This strategy aims to retain creators of high-viewership content when Netflix approaches them.

    In some cases, YouTube guarantees creators a share of large advertising deals made at the platform level. In others, it offers content production funding. This is a notable change, considering that YouTube scaled back its own original content production several years ago, ceding to Netflix and other streaming services in the premium TV segment.

    YouTube’s Strategy: Carrot and Stick

    Sources familiar with the situation claim that YouTube’s approach is not limited to just the “carrot.” The platform also uses the “stick”:

    • Exclusion from marketing campaigns and events.
    • Denial of a share of revenue from large advertising deals.

    YouTube communicates to creators that deals with Netflix and cross-posting content “create the impression that channels no longer consider YouTube their primary platform,” Bloomberg reports.

    Why are creators refusing Netflix?

    Some creators have already rejected Netflix’s offers, partly due to the streaming service’s demands. Unlike YouTube, where creators have full control over their publishing schedule, Netflix requires pre-submission of finished videos and asks to remove some sponsored integrations.

    Additionally, some Netflix podcast deals, such as with Barstool Sports and The Ringer (and likely the $100 million deal with Jay Shetty), include a clause limiting the number of clips creators can publish on YouTube.

    “YouTube communicates to creators that deals with Netflix and cross-posting content create the impression that channels no longer consider YouTube their primary platform.”

    Evolution of Netflix’s Offers and YouTube’s Response

    Early Netflix deals primarily involved licensing catalogs, allowing existing content libraries to be copied to their service. The goal was to close the gap with YouTube in Nielsen-measured viewing hours.

    New Netflix deals include participation in the production of new content, such as the development of original series with Salish Matter and Alan Chikin Chow.

    YouTube was reluctant to discuss the need to intervene to stop creator outflow. Key concerns:

    YouTube offers millions for exclusivity: battle for creators with Netflix — illustration 2
    1. Unwillingness to fully return to the YouTube Red model and function as a studio.
    2. Unwillingness to show favoritism by directly paying some creators more than others, instead of a general AdSense system.

    However, Netflix has already poached leading creators and is likely continuing to actively attract new ones. In response, YouTube is employing a strategy similar to the “Vessel playbook” and approaches used after the Ninja exodus, where platforms paid streamers for exclusivity. The goal is to financially incentivize creators to stay on YouTube.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is YouTube’s new strategy for retaining creators?

    YouTube is offering leading creators multi-million dollar contracts for exclusive content placement on its platform and refusal to cooperate with competitors like Netflix. Funding for production and a share of advertising deals are also offered.

    What Netflix requirements might deter creators?

    Netflix requires pre-submission of finished videos, asks to remove some sponsored integrations, and may limit the number of clips published on other platforms, which reduces creators’ flexibility and control over their content and schedule.

    How does YouTube punish creators who collaborate with Netflix?

    Creators who have made deals with Netflix may be excluded from YouTube’s marketing campaigns, events, and denied a share of large advertising deals on the platform.

    Why did YouTube previously stop funding original content?

    YouTube scaled back its own original content production several years ago because Netflix and other streaming services surpassed it in the premium TV category, making such investments inefficient.

    What are the long-term consequences of this battle for creators?

    The battle for creators between YouTube and Netflix creates new opportunities for content creators, allowing them to receive more favorable terms and financial incentives. However, this can also lead to increased complexity in platform choice and potential limitations in content distribution.

    Conclusion

    The battle for exclusive content between YouTube and Netflix is gaining momentum, offering creators unprecedented monetization opportunities. This situation highlights the importance of mass video posting and cross-posting as tools for effective content distribution.

    When choosing a mass-posting service, pay attention to its ability to seamlessly work with schedules across 10+ accounts, ensuring uploads to all platforms at once. This will allow you to maximize the potential of each platform; while you sleep, videos are already being released. Evaluate how an automatic short video publishing service can optimize your work and ensure scheduled reach. Remember: the right choice of tools for auto-scheduling and content distribution is key to success in the modern media landscape.
