Find My Video Pathway
60 Seconds No Email Required No Sales Pressure

Five questions. One clear direction.

Most businesses don't need more video — they need the right video. This tool runs on the same strategic framework used for every Blue Tie client.

01

Define Your Goal

Grow an audience, or close more business? The answer shapes everything downstream.

02

Pick Your Platform

Where a video lives determines what it needs to do. Social, YouTube, website, email — different rules for each.

03

Read Your Audience

Cold, aware, or warm? Someone who's never heard of you needs a completely different video than someone already in your inbox.

04

Know Your Sales Cycle

Quick decisions or long consideration? Your sales cycle tells us how much work video needs to do — and how fast.

05

Volume vs. Depth

A lot of content quickly, or one powerful anchor piece? Both are valid. The answer changes the strategy completely.

No ambiguity. No guessing.

Each question is designed to surface one thing: what video will actually move the needle for your business right now.

1
The Start What's the primary job of this video?
Get Attention Drive Conversions
2
Placement Where will this video primarily live?
Social Feeds YouTube Website Email Multiple
3
Audience Warmth How well does your audience already know you?

4

A real recommendation. Not a category.

Your result is a complete strategic brief — built around your answers, your goal, and your audience.

Complementary Options

Two secondary recommendations that pair well with your primary — so you can build a complete strategy, not just one piece.

Beat Structure Guide

A scene-by-scene breakdown of how your recommended video type should be structured — so you know exactly what it needs to accomplish.

Deployment Strategy

Where to put the video once it's made — by platform and purpose. A great video in the wrong place is still invisible.

Package & Budget Recommendation

The BTP package that fits your result — with a budget-friendly alternative. Real prices, transparent, no pressure to upgrade. Because video pricing shouldn't be a mystery.

Ready? Let's find your pathway.

Five questions. Sixty seconds. A straight answer built on how content actually works.

Two pathways. Twelve video types. One is right for you right now.

The app runs on a strategic game theory framework with two core paths — Attention and Conversion — and 12 video types matched to real content strategy.

Strategy before cameras.
That's the whole philosophy.

Most businesses get handed a camera and told to "just make more content." That's not a strategy — that's noise. This app exists because the most important question in video isn't "how do we make it look good?" It's: what does this video need to accomplish, and for who?

The Video Pathways App runs on the same game theory framework used for every Blue Tie Productions client. Two core games. Five strategic inputs. One honest output. Use the recommendation as your starting point — then bring it to a discovery call and we'll make it better together.

Every recommendation links to a real package.

No mystery quotes. No surprises. Here's exactly what's available and what it costs — so you can make an informed decision before we ever talk.
