What Is a Strategy Call?
A strategy call is a complimentary 30-minute consultation with one of ArcaneWiz’s senior creative directors. It’s not a demo or a sales call — it’s a focused strategy session designed to understand your goals and map out how AI video production can support them.
Think of it as getting expert advice from someone who’s produced AI video for brands across industries — e-commerce, SaaS, healthcare, fashion, finance, and beyond.
What We’ll Cover in 30 Minutes
Every strategy call is tailored to your brand, but here’s the typical agenda:
1. Understanding Your Goals (5 minutes)
We start by listening. What are you trying to achieve with video? Common goals include:
- Launching a new product or service
- Scaling video content across social platforms
- Creating a brand anthem or hero video
- Producing TV-ready commercials at lower cost
- Building a library of marketing videos for ongoing campaigns
- Exploring AI video for the first time
There’s no wrong answer — we’ve helped brands at every stage, from first-time video buyers to Fortune 500 marketing teams.
2. Assessing the AI Video Opportunity (10 minutes)
Based on your goals, we’ll walk through:
- Which video types AI excels at for your industry and audience
- Creative possibilities — environments, styles, and cinematic approaches that match your brand
- Cost comparison — how AI production stacks up against what you’d spend with traditional agencies or freelancers
- Timeline expectations — realistic delivery windows for your specific project scope
We’ll be honest. If AI video isn’t the right fit for a particular project, we’ll tell you — and explain why.
3. Personalized Recommendation (10 minutes)
We’ll recommend a specific approach based on your goals and budget:
- Recommended package tier — Starter, Professional, or Enterprise, based on your needs
- Suggested video format and length — optimized for your target platforms
- Creative direction ideas — initial thoughts on the visual approach for your brand
- Estimated investment and ROI — transparent numbers so you can build your business case
4. Next Steps (5 minutes)
If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll outline the exact next steps:
- How to submit your creative brief
- What to expect from our production process
- How to request a free AI video concept if you want to see a visual preview before committing
If you’re not ready, no problem. You’ll leave with actionable insights and a clear picture of the opportunity — on your own timeline.
How to Prepare for Your Call
To get the most value from your 30 minutes, we recommend coming prepared with the following:
Must-Have
- Your brand’s website URL — So we can understand your visual identity and market positioning
- A clear goal for the video — What should the video accomplish? (Awareness, conversion, engagement, etc.)
- Target audience — Who is this video for? The more specific, the better.
Nice-to-Have
- Reference videos you admire — Share links to 2-3 videos that capture the tone or style you’re looking for
- Brand guidelines — Logo files, color palette, typography, and brand voice documentation
- Budget range — Even a rough range helps us tailor our recommendation to your reality
- Timeline requirements — Do you have a launch date, campaign deadline, or seasonal window to hit?
- Distribution channels — Where will this video live? (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, TV, website, email, etc.)
Questions to Consider Beforehand
Coming with questions makes the call more productive. Here are some common ones:
- How does AI video quality compare to what I’m used to from traditional production?
- Can you match the look and feel of [specific reference video]?
- What’s the realistic timeline for my project?
- How do revisions work?
- What do I own when the project is complete?
- Can I start with one video and scale later?

Who Should Be on the Call?
We recommend including anyone who has:
- Decision-making authority on the video budget
- Creative input on brand direction and messaging
- Stakeholder influence — if you need internal buy-in, having key stakeholders hear the strategy firsthand accelerates approval
Solo calls are perfectly fine too — many of our most successful projects started with a single marketing manager exploring options on behalf of their team.
What Happens After the Call
After your strategy call, you’ll receive:
- A written summary of the recommendations discussed, including suggested package, timeline, and estimated investment
- A link to request your free AI video concept — if you’d like to see a visual proof-of-concept before committing
- Direct contact information for your creative director — no call centers, no generic support emails
There’s no expiration date on any of this. Whether you move forward immediately or circle back in three months, the door is always open.
