A Unique Opportunity with a Unique Partner
Since 2022, Stratagem Vertical has been the first North American Vertical Drama company with exhaustive experience across every segment of the business and a complete view of the Vertical Drama landscape.
Vertical Drama was born overseas and is dominated by companies who specialize in foreign language online fiction, localizing with out-of-market bilingual creatives, and aggressively marketing via social media campaigns.
Stratagem Vertical has worked hand in hand with many of these companies; training local creatives, advising C-Suites on the NA market and audiences, producing verticals end-to-end, and running ad campaigns to drive growth.
We have built and scaled successful full Vertical Drama content studios.
