3. Finding creative ways to repurpose your videos can significantly promote and enliven your brand. Your videos can be made relevant in different contexts and to different audiences, therefore, expanding your reach and presence.
4. Each social media platform has different video requirements and audience behaviors. By repurposing one video into different content bits, you can cater to these preferences more effectively.
