Short answer: You make video strategic by deciding what to make, who it is for, and how you will measure it before you record, instead of producing everything at once and hoping something works.
The Short Version
"Do everything" is not a strategy, it is a budget leak. A handful of the right videos beats a flood of random ones.
The short version of the answer.
Why This Matters
This matters because production is expensive when the plan is vague. A team can spend real money and still end up with a library of videos that nobody knows how to use. Strategy is the part that decides the buyer question, the owner, the channel, the measurement plan, and the next action.

- Choose the formats and channels before production starts.
- Assign ownership for distribution, sales usage, and measurement.
- Define what success looks like beyond views.
- Produce only the assets the plan can support.
