Benepass maximizes its investment with content repurposing 

Great content marketers understand how to extract extra value from a single published article—and that’s exactly what Benepass gets from their investment in our content partnership. 

The company features some of my work in its new Benefits Blueprint newsletter, which contains a selection of must-read stories alongside the latest product news and customer success stories. 

Similarly, Benepass pulls key details from my content and repurposes them into LinkedIn posts like this one. 👇
