How One Idea Can Turn Into a Week of Content

A Simple Framework for Creating More with Less

In partnership with

Hey ,

Welcome back to The Intelligent Marketer, where over 12,263 growth-minded founders, agency owners, and marketers go to learn modern marketing strategies.

If your content feels scattered, inconsistent, or overwhelming… this will help.

Most founders think they need more ideas.

But the best marketers don’t have more ideas.

They just know how to stretch one good idea across multiple formats.

Here’s the exact framework I use (and the one we use for clients to build leverage through content):

💡 The “One Strong Idea, Three Formats” Framework

Let’s say your core idea is:

“Trust is the real currency of marketing.”

Now break that down into three high-impact formats:

1. Newsletter (Long-form, deep dive)

Use the idea as the central theme for your next edition.

Break it down. Add examples. Tie it to a personal experience.

Explain why this principle matters—and how it applies to your reader.

2. Social Post (Short-form, fast signal)

Pull a punchy insight from the newsletter and reshape it for X or LinkedIn.

Cut the fluff. Lead with the takeaway.

You don’t need new ideas—just new angles.

3. Lead Magnet (Asset or call-to-action)

Package the concept into a quick resource, like a 3-step trust-building checklist or a PDF called: “The 5 Laws of Building Trust Through Content.”

Now you’ve got a free opt-in that compounds every time someone reads your newsletter or social post.

Modernize your marketing with AdQuick

AdQuick unlocks the benefits of Out Of Home (OOH) advertising in a way no one else has. Approaching the problem with eyes to performance, created for marketers with the engineering excellence you’ve come to expect for the internet.

Marketers agree OOH is one of the best ways for building brand awareness, reaching new customers, and reinforcing your brand message. It’s just been difficult to scale. But with AdQuick, you can easily plan, deploy and measure campaigns just as easily as digital ads, making them a no-brainer to add to your team’s toolbox.

🚀 Why This Works

  • It builds consistency without repetition

  • It reinforces your core philosophy

  • It turns you from “poster” to “publisher”

  • And it saves you from chasing new ideas every single week

Try this:

Pick one core idea you believe in deeply.

Then ask:

  • What’s the long-form version of this?

  • What’s the short-form takeaway?

  • What resource could help someone apply it?

Start there.

Get consistent.

And you’ll never run out of content again.
