In today’s content-saturated world, creating something interesting or meaningful is only half the battle — Ensuring it reaches the right audience is the elusive other half. If the process of creating a case study for a recent content series has taught me anything, it’s that a single idea can be transformed into a multi-format, weeks-long campaign. Make Your Wordmark strategically repurposes content to make it more likely that marketing executives and creative professionals get a chance to consider its main concepts.

The foundation of my campaign centers around the long-form LinkedIn article that explores the power of bespoke typography in logo design. Rather than letting the article live in isolation, though, I’ve expanded its reach by repackaging its insights into carousels, videos, and social posts tailored to different audiences. This isn’t just recycling content — It’s reimagining each concept through different vehicles.

Each format serves a distinct purpose. For example, the carousel posts break down the article’s key ideas into bite-sized tidbits about branding. For the busy marketing executive scrolling through LinkedIn, they are quick and easy to digest. One carousel highlights the business benefits of custom typography: ownership, consistency, and differentiation. Another showcases timeless wordmarks like IBM and Disney, dissecting what makes them iconic. These posts amplify the original article, offering new entry points for engagement.

The videos add another layer of depth. One walks viewers through historical logos that have stood the test of time, while another offers a behind-the-scenes look at the hand-lettering process. Bonus: the second video highlights my own work! These posts play to LinkedIn’s algorithm, which favors video for engagement.

An important part of the campaign is the content calendar. The article drops post–Labor Day, when professionals are refocusing after their summertime soirée. The carousels and videos follow on Mondays and Wednesdays, aligning with best practices for LinkedIn posting. This cadence will hopefully keep the topic and conversation alive long after the initial release.

Repurposing content is all about efficiency and resonance. By tailoring similar messages to different formats and audiences, Make Your Wordmark Work hopefully becomes more than just a blog post. It educates marketing executives on the strategic value of typography and inspires designers with creative techniques. In an ideal world, it establishes credibility and thought leadership in both business and design.

My takeaway? If you’ve created something valuable, don’t let it sit in a single format. Break it apart, dissect it, and reimagine the main concepts in different ways. Whether it’s a blog post, a podcast, or a website, content can work harder. Just like a great wordmark, it deserves to be seen and easily remembered.
