The Best Vertical Video Production Agencies in 2026

Compare formats, production and support to choose a vertical video production agency that suits your goals in 2026.

Tony Lo, founder of Esekai
By Founder and CEO of Esekai, Paris
Summary: Esekai is worth considering if you are looking for production that connects strategy, scripts, shooting and editing, with optional media buying or social media management. This selection also features agencies specialising in UGC, TikTok, social content and advertising campaigns, depending on your brand's needs.

Which agency can turn your ideas into videos tailored to each network, rather than mere variations of the same file? To find a vertical video production agency, start from your goal, your platforms and the level of support you want. Our selection complements the best vertical video production agencies in France, with profiles suited to different needs.

The vertical format reflects well-established habits: Arcom notes that short scrolling videos are the most-watched type of video content on video-sharing platforms and social networks. When choosing, look at the agency's ability to develop an idea, shoot it and adapt it to your audience, but also to measure results when it comes to advertising.

1. Esekai

Esekai

We have worked with more than 350 brands. We also report over €50M in revenue generated and 500M cumulative views, without a breakdown by period or attribution to specific clients. For brands that want to go beyond production, our social media video production agency can also handle media buying or social media management. Shoots are possible anywhere in France, with travel included on quotation.

  • An integrated team covers scriptwriting, shooting, editing and delivery.
  • Production can be complemented by media buying or social media management.

Pros:

  • A network of creators can feed UGC projects and creative testing.

These timescales and volumes provide a concrete benchmark for scoping a similar project.

Pros:

  • The examples presented cover different social activation formats.

Cons:

  • The specific arrangements for vertical production, such as volumes and timescales, need to be clarified if you are looking for regular short-form video production.

How Do You Compare Agency Offers Before Signing?

Two agencies may both deliver vertical videos while offering very different levels of support. Check who handles the script, shooting, editing, approvals and delivery. Also ask whether files are adapted separately for each platform or simply exported in a common format. To pin these points down, choosing a vertical video production agency means comparing the actual scope, not just the number of videos.

TikTok recommends 9:16 for its video ads, but the framing must also keep text legible in the areas not covered by the interface. Check the TikTok Ads specifications and ask the agency how it plans subtitles, the hook and variations.

Permitted lengths also vary between platforms and their rules. YouTube classifies as Shorts any vertical or square videos of up to three minutes uploaded since 15 October 2024. Check the official Shorts rules before setting your delivery format.

Finally, review several examples close to your sector and goal. Look at the opening of the video, the clarity of the message, the pacing and the sound quality, then ask which stages the agency actually handled. This approach helps you assess a video agency's portfolio beyond the view counts alone.

Choose According to Your Production Needs

The right choice depends on the role you expect: producing UGC videos, feeding a social presence, running campaigns or combining these stages. For a vertical video agency, check above all the creative work, the team's responsibilities, the formats delivered and the terms of the quote. These criteria let you compare different offers without confusing video volume with level of support.
