Solving the Customer Engagement Problem - Personalized Videos engage customers and keep them engaged long enough to explain a product or service, and ultimately drive a desired action. The IndiVideo platform boasts a broad set of capabilities, supporting sales, marketing and customer communication teams.

“By creating meaningful and personalized engagements, our world class and growing list of customers continue to enjoy significant gains in conversion metrics leading to improved sales results that generate a measurable and significant ROI. Ultimately this is what drives BlueRush’s business. Personalized Videos are a powerful tool that should be an arrow in the quiver of every sales and marketing team,” said Steve Taylor, CEO of BlueRush.

Innovating with Artificial Intelligence - The IndiVideo platform is set to take a significant leap forward as BlueRush’s new AI extension transitions from beta to full production in early 2024. This innovative capability, designed to simplify video production, integrates Large Language Model (LLM) technologies with specialized prompts that assist in scriptwriting, visual selection, and template customization. These capabilities are particularly appealing to marketing teams who seek to produce high-quality videos more quickly and in a cost effective manner.

Expanding Enterprise Customer Base - BlueRush continues to focus on a land and expand strategy. Growth in key accounts is a pillar of the strategy in 2024.
