The Challenge
MedTech Innovations had a content problem that's painfully common: they knew they needed to be active on social media, but creating unique content for every platform was exhausting their small marketing team.
The content capacity crisis:
- 4 blog posts monthly (all marketing bandwidth allowed)
- LinkedIn: 2-3 sporadic posts/week
- Twitter: Inactive for months
- Instagram: "We should do that someday"
- Facebook: Auto-shares of blog links (no engagement)
Their VP of Marketing was frustrated: "We spend 80 hours creating one blog post. Then we share it once and move on. There has to be a better way."
She was right. Each blog post contained dozens of valuable insights, quotable moments, and visual opportunities. But without a system, that value stayed trapped in long-form content nobody on social was reading.
Why They Chose Us
MedTech had hired a social media manager. She lasted 6 months before burning out trying to create unique content for four platforms while also maintaining their blog calendar.
When we showed them how Social Media Management combined with SEO & Content could create a multiplication system, the approach resonated.
"You don't need more content creation—you need better content distribution. Every blog post should become 30+ social pieces. Same insights, different formats. One investment, massive amplification."
The Solution
We built a content multiplication system that extracted maximum value from every piece they created.
Content Audit and Mapping
First, we analyzed their existing content for repurposing potential:
Per Blog Post Opportunities:
- 5-8 key takeaways (individual posts)
- 3-4 quotable statistics
- 2-3 visual diagram opportunities
- 1 infographic
- 1 carousel summary
- 1 video script
- Multiple thread opportunities
Platform Mapping:
- LinkedIn: Thought leadership, detailed insights
- Twitter/X: Quick takes, threads, industry commentary
- Instagram: Visual stories, carousels, Reels
- Facebook: Community discussion, longer shares
The Repurposing Engine
Workflow for Each Blog Post:
Week 1 (Blog Publish Week):
- LinkedIn article summary (day 0)
- Twitter thread breaking down key points (day 1)
- Instagram carousel with visual takeaways (day 2)
- Facebook discussion prompt (day 3)
- LinkedIn individual insight post (day 4-5)
Weeks 2-4 (Extended Distribution):
- Quote graphics (2 per week across platforms)

The social-SEO integration transformed their content from one-time assets to perpetual engagement machines.
"We used to think about content as 'create and publish.' Now we think about it as 'create and multiply.' The same investment in one blog post now generates 30+ social pieces, each driving engagement and traffic. Our content team is the same size, but our output—and results—have grown 10x."
— Jennifer Park, VP of Marketing, MedTech Innovations
