Vertical Video Ads.

Made for the portrait screen. Illustrated vertical video ads working board.

Design the ad for the vertical screen.

Vertical video ad production creates advertising assets composed for a portrait viewing experience. We develop the opening, visual sequence, readable information, and call to action for the agreed placement instead of simply cropping a landscape commercial.

Portrait framing changes what the viewer can see and how information should be arranged. We consider the subject, title placement, platform interface areas, captions, and the route to the offer. Current placement requirements are checked during production, while the creative remains centered on a clear customer need.

Social Video

Social video production adapts a useful message to the way people encounter content in selected social placements. We plan the idea, framing, pace, captions, and versions around the audience and purpose rather than treating every platform as the same screen.

Digital Video Ads

Digital video ads are planned around a defined audience, offer, placement, and response. We create the video asset and its selected variations so the message is understandable and the next step connects to the campaign.

Let’s talk it through

A clear process.
A practical handover.

The production approach follows the message, source material, and agreed scope. Open each step to see what happens and what it produces.

01

Define the ad and destination.

We agree the offer, action, and selected placement.

The output

A focused vertical-ad brief.

02

Compose for portrait.

We plan the scene and information hierarchy in the actual format.

The output

A portrait treatment.

03

Build the edit.

We develop the sequence, captions, sound, and selected variations.

The output

A reviewable ad asset set.

04

Check and deliver.

We review the placement context and final exports.

The output

A ready-to-use production package.

The work in practice.

An illustrative product ad may use a close, readable product view followed by one useful benefit and a clear next step. A wide scene that loses its subject when cropped may need a new composition rather than a forced resize.

The purpose of the example

To show how vertical video ads can support a decision. Your recommendations depend on the evidence, resources, and constraints in your own brief.

Agree the brief.
Then make the work.

Scope depends on source framing, original production, length, graphics, captions, variants, and finishing. Paid campaign setup and management are separate unless included.

Before we startWhat we agree
The decisionThe audience, offer, question, and boundaries the work needs to address.
The deliverablesCreative and production scope, format, review rounds, responsibilities, and handover.
The investmentWritten fees, schedule, dependencies, and any separate third-party or implementation costs.

We confirm the proposal before work begins. You can commission a focused engagement, connect it to a wider plan, or ask about a separately scoped delivery phase.

Discuss scope and timing

Useful questions.
Straightforward answers.

Can you crop our landscape video into a vertical ad?

Sometimes, but not every shot or layout will survive the change. We assess whether reframing, new graphics, or a different edit is needed.

Do you check platform safe areas?

We review the selected placement requirements and interface context during production. They should not be assumed to remain identical across platforms.

Can the ad use large text instead of voiceover?

Yes, where that approach suits the message. Readability, pace, and the amount of information still need careful design.

Can you make several openings?

Yes. The number and purpose of creative variations are defined in the scope.

Is this the same as a short social post?

Not necessarily. An ad has a campaign role, offer, and intended response that should be clear in the brief.

Do you manage the media budget?

Media buying and ongoing advertising management are separate from production unless explicitly included.

What determines the cost and schedule?

The agreed deliverables, source material, original production needs, complexity, review rounds, and delivery requirements determine the proposal. We confirm fees, responsibilities, and timing before starting.

What should we prepare for the first conversation?

Bring the offer, intended audience, where the work will be used, existing brand material, available source files, and any budget or timing constraints. We will identify what else is needed for the brief.
