A rebrand is a lot of work even before social media enters the picture — new name, new logo, new voice, sometimes a whole new positioning. The last thing most teams want to do on top of that is rebuild years of social content from nothing on a freshly named account.

You don't have to. OneUp's crossposting feature can take your existing content from an old handle and republish it to your new one, so the rebrand doesn't cost you your content history along with your old name.

## Why keeping your content matters during a rebrand

A rebrand changes your name, not necessarily the value of everything you've already posted. Product education, customer stories, behind-the-scenes content — most of it doesn't actually reference your old brand name directly, which means it's often still perfectly usable under a new one. Starting the new account from scratch means losing all of that for no real reason.

## How to migrate content during a rebrand

1. **Connect both accounts** — your old account and your newly branded one — from the **Accounts** page in OneUp. This works whether the new account is on the same platform or a different one.
2. **Open the Crossposting menu** from the dropdown next to **Create a post**.
3. **Set your old account as the source and your new one as the destination.**
4. **Review before you migrate everything** — a rebrand is a good moment to filter out anything explicitly tied to your old name, old logo, or outdated messaging, rather than crossposting your full history unfiltered.
5. **Set the pacing** so your new account builds up gradually instead of dumping years of content on day one.
6. **Launch the workflow**, and OneUp republishes your vetted content to the new account automatically.

## One extra step worth taking

Before you run the migration, do a quick pass through your older captions specifically looking for your old brand name, old tagline, or old visual identity mentioned in text. Images and videos with your old logo baked in are harder to fix after the fact, so it's worth deciding upfront whether those get excluded from the migration entirely.
