You've got years of decks, docs, blogs, and briefs sitting in folders.
Most marketers treat this like dead weight.
But your past content is a goldmine of insights, themes, and angles you can turn into fresh posts without starting from zero.
Try this prompt:
You are a content strategist. I want to extract valuable content ideas from my existing materials.
Analyze the content I'm sharing below and:
1. IDENTIFY KEY THEMES
- Pull out 3-5 core topics or insights
- Note which ideas feel most relevant today
- Flag any underused concepts worth expanding
2. SUGGEST NEW FORMATS
- Turn insights into different content types (posts, carousels, newsletters, guides)
- Recommend formats that would work best for each theme
- Consider what would resonate on different platforms
3. GENERATE 10 FRESH IDEAS
- Create specific post concepts inspired by this material
- Make each idea actionable and audience-focused
- Ensure ideas feel new, not recycled
4. DRAFT ONE COMPLETE POST
- Pick the strongest idea from your list
- Write a full draft in my brand voice
- Include any data points or examples from the source material
Here's my existing content:
