The Longform Content Advantage with Mawanda Maphumulo


Listen Later

Shortform content might get attention, but longform builds relationships. And relationships are what grow businesses.


In this episode, Luke Holden, Founder of Kythe Creative, sits down with Mawanda Maphumulo, founder of Creative Replay and host of The Creator Concept, to unpack why longform content is the most powerful branding tool small businesses are ignoring and how to start using it today.


Whether you are a small business owner, entrepreneur, coach, or professional trying to stand out online, this conversation gives you a clear, practical roadmap for building authority, trust, and discoverability through longform content.

In this episode we touch on:

  • Why longform content outperforms shortform
  • How to start a podcast or longform format with zero budget
  • Why your story is your strongest branding asset
  • How to repurpose one longform piece into weeks of content
  • Why authenticity matters more than production quality
  • How small businesses can use content to become discoverable
  • The mindset shifts needed to start creating consistently

If you are tired of chasing trends, battling algorithms, or overthinking what to post, this episode will give you clarity and direction.
