You don’t need more content—you need to reclaim the gold hiding in your archives. From vintage hot rods to air fryer recipes, niche brands are using AI to unlock new revenue by reimagining the content they already own.
At our recent Darwin CX User Conference, one story really stood out.
Falke Media, a beloved publisher with a treasure trove of culinary content, used AI to do something brilliant: they resurfaced and repackaged their air fryer recipes into a dedicated app. It was low-effort, high-impact—and a perfect example of how niche brands can breathe new life into archived content and turn it into fresh revenue.
And it’s not just about food. It’s about a mindset shift.
In 2025, smart media companies are asking not “What can we create?” but “What can we unlock?”
Here’s why this works so well—and how you can use the same thinking in your own business.
Whether it’s articles, videos, podcasts, or user-generated content—most brands are sitting on gold. AI makes it easier than ever to mine it.
Falke didn’t rewrite recipes—they used AI to identify them, tag them, organize them by method (air fryer, stovetop, baking), and pull them into a cohesive digital product.
An app. A paid newsletter. A mini-course. A voice skill. The possibilities are endless once the content is structured and searchable.
Use AI to transcribe, summarize, and theme episodes around a topic (“Best of the 90s,” “Interviews that Changed the Game”) and repackage them with new intros.
Digitize back issues and use AI to extract themes, tags, and trends—then serve it dynamically via a smart content hub for subscribers.
Bundle evergreen how-to guides or explainers into a lead-gen or paid product. Let AI identify overlaps, generate summaries, or suggest course outlines.
Have a decade’s worth of social content or user-submitted images? Use AI to turn it into visual galleries, trend timelines, or even merch.
The takeaway? You don’t always need to create from scratch. You just need the right tools, and the right lens, to recognize what you already have.
AI is helping brands:
And the best part? It doesn’t require a giant team or an R&D department. Just a little curiosity, a focused use case, and a willingness to experiment.
Our platform makes this easier. Whether it’s AI-tagged content, data-driven personalization, or new monetization models, we give media companies the tools to understand their customers’ needs and scale what’s already working.
And if you’ve got 10+ years of content just sitting there? Let’s talk about how to turn it into your next big win.
