Acquisition of YouTube Video Business from ADS Corporation

Angle Create Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hayato Iijima; hereinafter referred to as "Angle Create") announces that it has acquired the YouTube video business from ADS Corporation (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Satoru Abe; hereinafter referred to as "ADS"), a company specializing in video and content production.

Background and Objectives

"Business Journal," as a web business media outlet boasting tens of millions of monthly reaches, has been supported by a wide range of business early adopters, from startup management to new business directors at major manufacturers (individuals who are highly sensitive and forward-thinking business professionals).

Since succeeding Angle Create in January 2025 through Rocketstar's search fund, Representative Director Iijima has made strengthening video and social media channels one of his top management priorities, based on the conviction that "the era where business media cannot be conveyed through articles alone has arrived."

Angle Create has already been operating its own YouTube channel, "Business Journal TV," accumulating over 13,000 subscribers and more than 350 video contents. To simultaneously achieve a higher quality video production system and robust video social media operation support for clients, they have been exploring collaboration with ADS, a company with expertise and a proven track record in the video field.

Through this business acquisition, Angle Create will significantly accelerate its video business by incorporating ADS's accumulated know-how in video production, YouTube operation, production systems, and client support.

Business Synergy

① Fusion of Media x Production Capabilities

By combining media assets with tens of millions of annual reach with ADS's video production, editing, and operation know-how, we will establish a system capable of producing high-quality sponsored videos and original programs in even shorter lead times.

② Strengthening Video SNS Support Services

By adding ADS's video production capabilities to the video social media operation support for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc., which we have provided so far, we will further solidify our end-to-end services from planning to shooting, editing, and channel management.

③ Expansion of "Business Journal TV" Programming

By combining the "expertise" of the Business Journal editorial department with ADS's creative power, we will elevate content sought by business early adopters, such as interview videos with business KOLs and company executives, to the next stage.

Future Outlook

・Strengthening the program production system for "Business Journal TV" and significantly expanding subscriber numbers

・Expanding the service lineup for corporate video SNS operation support (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram)

・Improving the production quality of sponsored video content and establishing a mass production system

・Providing new branding support by combining AIO (AI Overview Optimization) with video content
