Partner and channel marketing can sometimes suffer from ‘Second hand marketing’ - having to contend with content ‘hand-me-downs’ from corporate or product marketing.

Unarguably, it makes sense to repurpose proven assets and collateral, especially when budgets are tight and partner channels are still in proof mode. But recycling doesn’t always fit with the flow, narratives and unique context of partner campaigns and engagements. It’s at this point that priming or more wholesale upcycling or development must be considered. 

Check out the meme, ‘Second hand marketing’. Could your partner content do with a better fit?
