What should a law firm do with UGC it isn't using? (CMO view)

Short answer

Unused content represents an untapped opportunity to dominate your niche. As CMO, your task is to systematize the repurposing of this content. Do not let your team build and abandon assets. By scaling the distribution of every video, you can significantly increase your firm's authority and keep your brand top-of-mind for prospective clients.

Building a content engine

You need a system that ensures no asset is wasted. Create a repository where every video is tagged by topic and intent. Then, build a distribution calendar that uses this content across all your channels. The goal is to reach more people with the work you've already done. If your content is good enough to record, it is good enough to be seen by thousands. Stop letting your team's hard work be forgotten after the first day.

Expanding through a network

To truly scale, you need more than just a single social media presence. A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post your videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages. This allows you to increase your brand's reach and authority without having to start from scratch on every platform.

Creating a consistent brand narrative

Your content should tell a story. Use your library of videos to build a narrative that speaks directly to the needs of your potential clients. Don't just post randomly. Ensure your content strategy is cohesive. When you repurpose, focus on themes that reinforce your firm's expertise. This consistency builds trust and makes your brand easier to remember when someone finally needs legal help.

The role of the CMO in content

Your job is to provide the strategy that turns content into revenue. Keep the focus on results. Are your repurposed videos driving traffic to the website? Are they helping with lead conversion? Use this data to inform your future content efforts. When you show that repurposing works, you can build a more effective marketing department that does more with less.

Systematize your content repurposing to build brand authority and increase your firm's reach without needing to produce everything from scratch.
