Maximizing your marketing ROI by repurposing video content
Key Statistics
Main Takeaway: Repurposing video content can significantly boost your marketing ROI. By leveraging tools like AdPipe, you can unlock the full potential of your existing content library, create platform-specific assets, and extend content lifespan—all while saving time, reducing costs, and driving increased engagement across channels.
Introduction: In today's digital world, video-first marketing is a main driver in increasing revenue and engagement online. But creating high-quality video content for multiple channels can be time-consuming and resource-intensive. How can marketers keep up with the demand for fresh, relevant video content across all platforms?
The untapped potential in your content library
Your content library is a goldmine of untapped potential. Imagine the impact of bringing those hidden gems to light and putting them to work for your brand. Many businesses are sitting on valuable video content that's underutilized. In fact, studies show that companies typically use only 5% of the video footage they capture, leaving 95% untouched in their archives. This means for every hour of video shot, only 3 minutes make it to the final cut. The solution to this vast resource inefficiency? Repurposing.
AdPipe: your secret weapon
Enter AdPipe - a game-changing approach to maximizing ROI. With AdPipe, you can create one high-impact video (what we call an “anchor”) and strategically repurpose it across your website, social media, ads, and email campaigns.

By creatively reimagining and adapting your existing footage, you exponentially increase its impact across platforms, all while keeping your budget in check.

Measuring your success
When implementing a content repurposing strategy, it's crucial to track your progress and measure success. Here are some high-level metrics to consider, along with practical ways to calculate them:
Content Utilization Rate:
Calculation: (Number of repurposed content pieces / Total number of content pieces) x 100
How to measure: Keep a content inventory spreadsheet. Track the total number of content pieces you have and how many have been repurposed. Update this regularly.
Cost Efficiency:
Calculation: (Total cost of repurposing) / (Number of repurposed content pieces)
Compare this to: (Total cost of creating new content) / (Number of new content pieces)
How to measure: Track time spent on repurposing, any tools or software costs, and staff hours. Compare this to the costs of creating entirely new content.
Time to Deployment:
Calculation: Average time from starting the repurposing process to publishing the repurposed content
How to measure: Use project management tools or a simple spreadsheet to track start and end dates for each piece of repurposed content. Calculate the average over time.
Audience Engagement: Measure metrics like views, likes, shares, and comments across platforms. Most social media and content platforms provide these analytics.
Cross-Channel Performance: Compare engagement metrics for the same piece of repurposed content across different platforms to identify where it performs best.
Content Longevity: Track how long repurposed content continues to generate engagement after publication. Look for content that maintains steady traffic or engagement over time.
ROI of Repurposed Content:
Calculation: (Value generated by repurposed content - Cost of repurposing) / Cost of repurposing
How to measure: Assign a value to your desired outcomes (e.g., leads generated, sales made) and compare this to the cost of repurposing.
By tracking these metrics, you can gain valuable insights into the effectiveness of your content repurposing efforts and make data-driven decisions to optimize your strategy. Remember to establish a baseline before implementing your repurposing strategy so you can measure improvements over time.
