Modernize + refresh

Revive your content with compelling transformations.

You don’t always need to start from scratch.

If you have a white paper, guide, blog, or other long-form asset that contains valuable information but is stale or ineffective, let’s give it new life — and new results.

I help B2B companies modernize existing content by tightening the structure, refining the message, updating the data, and converting it into dynamic, web-native formats that today’s B2B buyers prefer. These refreshed assets are easier to read, share, and track, and feel more modern and on-point.

A content transformation project is also a smart way to test our working relationship while creating content that performs.

Why it works

Boosts credibility while stretching your budget.

You’ll get more value from content you’ve already invested in by bringing it up to date. Your brand will feel fresh and relevant as it reaches new and existing audiences, and it shows your prospects that you’re on top of your game and deserve their attention — all while making the most of your content investment.

Q: When is it a good idea to refresh existing content?

It helps you invest wisely.

If your content is too stale or thin to influence buying decisions.

If your asset’s stats, examples, messaging, or structure are outdated — or if it’s missing any of those things — we can transform it into a fresh, compelling tool you can use. First, I’ll audit the asset and recommend updates. Then, I’ll interview your subject matter expert if needed, gather the latest information, refresh the copy to align with your current voice and goals, and work with your team or mine to finalize the design. I can do the same with a series of assets.

If you want to tailor it for one or more specific audiences.

The content may still hold up overall, but you want to speak directly to a specific target industry or decision-maker. I can revise the tone, emphasis, and examples to make it more relevant — even create alternate versions by persona or segment to increase the impact.

If it’s dry, dense, awkward, or hard to get through.

Sometimes, long-form content simply misses the mark. I’ll look at it with fresh eyes to convert what you have into something more engaging, compelling, and valuable.

We can make consuming your content easier, too. Many older assets were built for PDF download, not digital reading. Unlike static PDFs, dynamic formats are easy to skim and read on any device and give your readers more control over how they engage — which keeps them moving toward action, even on mobile.

If you need something fast, but still strategic.

Creating new content takes time. If you’re on a tight timeline or need something to fill a gap quickly, a refresh delivers faster ROI without cutting corners. And, when we build it as dynamic content, you’ll gain added visibility into what your audience engages with so you can make smarter content decisions moving forward.

Make the most of what you already have.

Start where you are.

It doesn’t matter how old, clunky, or off-brand an asset feels today. If it once served a purpose or sparked interest, there’s likely still gold in there. The challenge often isn’t the information — it’s making that information compelling. When we repackage it in a modern, interactive format that works across devices and can actually influence decisions, your modernized content becomes a business driver.

Fix what’s not working.

Edit for readability and style
Refine or liven up the tone
Improve the structure
Rewrite the headers
Layer on interactivity for better digital performance
Pull in new examples or SME quotes
Update the data and how you present it

Repurpose it entirely.

Convert it to an interactive format
Reimagine the delivery style — will it work better as a blog, deck, executive Q&A, infographic, quiz, or checklist?
Chop it up into smaller pieces, each with a more focused topic
Combine it with related pieces to create a guide or ebook
Collect standout ideas or messaging for your messaging bank

Part of being a trusted advisor is helping you improve results and save money by updating content you already have. Sometimes it just needs a few refinements, and other times it needs an overhaul. The next step is a quick call to discuss options to help your content make more of an impact — there may be many to choose from.
