First ExitStrategy.World InVideo.AI-Generated Video on YouTube

This week has been a relatively quiet one for ExitStrategy.World.

Since publishing our first 'think piece' about AI and the internationalization industry three weeks ago, we have focused on getting the systems in place to begin using AI in email and video marketing for our services--as well as potentially, a voice auto dialer as well. In terms of our prior professional life, we were wordsmiths first and marketing project managers second. Until we reached a point many years ago where we had to prove to ourselves, if not to anyone else, that we were capable of far more than wordsmithing.

We would never be presumptuous enough to refer to ourselves as a 'systems guy' or collectively as 'systems guys'. Yet here we are, on the cutting edge of changing the offshoring and internationalization industries, to bring second passport and residency services to the Bitcoin bros and far beyond--using these new tools to expand the reach of a very small founding team. Yet novelty in terms of enterprise technology should never be sought for novelty's sake. I think of Stilgar (Javier Bardem)'s advice to Paul Atreides in Dune part 2, before Paul plants a thumper to summon the giant sandworm and ride it, becoming a full man in the eyes of his adopted Fremen desert planet tribe: "be simple, be direct, nothing fancy".

In this first ESW Invideo.AI-generated ad, I thought of a simple but crystalline American theme: a little girl comes home from elementary school and asks her renter parents if they'll ever be able to afford to buy a house, like grandma and grandpa did. Then I localized the concept to California, since for the AI to do semi-lifelike work it needs a specific place with lots of well-known visuals such as Los Angeles. A Canadian version of this ad is in the works too, including in French for the Quebecois. This OpenAI Art image was a sort of companion to the above vid:

23 seconds long, simple, direct. Covering the rising tide of homelessness and decay that many Americans see around them, even in some of the nation's once-most beautiful cities. It's so simple, that we forgot to add the ESW tagline at the end. We'll definitely do that as we create the next several videos. Going viral is not ESW's marketing goal at this point, nor is it likely a realistic one. The web is soon to be awash in AI-generated vids and memes. Setting an empathetic tone and offering solutions in the viewer’s mind is the primary goal.

Speaking of tone, we've recorded three webcasts, creating AI-initiated full transcripts for two of them, with a third on the way edited by our Virtual Assistant in Kenya. But we have also paused recording additional casts this week. We're in talks to bring more Dubai entrepreneurs on to the program, including in the burgeoning field of AI co-pilots, and we've also extended show invites to some former household names who've worked in Hollywood. In the meantime here are the first two show replays with transcripts:

We'll have more news on our expanding ESW offers and website updates after this Sunday's feast of feasts, Great and Holy Pascha.

Stay tuned!

A blessed upcoming Resurrection feast to all Orthodox Christians worldwide!
