I share how you can do this and a few examples to help inspire you.Takeaways:Content overload, resource constraints, and sustaining engagement are the main reasons for content marketing failure.Macro/micro content involves creating a larger piece of content and repurposing it into smaller pieces for distribution.Examples of successful macro/micro content include Gary Vaynerchuk's video content and Ramli John's podcast.Adopting a macro/micro content strategy can help businesses stand out in the crowded content landscape and achieve better results.// CONNECT //🔵 Connect with me on LinkedIn📫 Subscribe to receive new podcasts when released☕️ Get a virtual coffee with me💻 Learn more about who I am and what I do// Disclaimer // Opinions shared in this podcast are individual views of hosts and guests, not representing their employers or associated organizations.
