TrueID Transforms into Digital Ecosystem Hub and Launces Vertical Drama Platform TATANG
Brickinfo News Agency – TrueID has announced its strategic transformation from a content platform into a digital ecosystem hub, driven by a new framework titled "CO CREATE THE SERIES". The new strategy integrates three core pillars: content, commerce, and community to drive value for users and business partners across the True Corporation and CP Group networks.
As the first phase of this rollout, TrueID has launched TATANG by TrueID, a mobile-first vertical drama mini-app designed for smartphone users. The launch is supported by a strategic partnership with DramaBox, a global vertical drama platform. Under this agreement, TATANG by TrueID becomes the official platform to distribute DramaBox's international library in Thailand, featuring professionally localized Thai subtitles and dubbing.
The service is integrated across the True Corporation and Charoen Pokphand Group ecosystem, making it accessible through tatang.trueid.net, the TrueID App, TrueMoney, and True App, with plans for further expansion to external partner platforms.
According to market data from Omdia, Sensor Tower, and data.ai, the global micro-drama market is projected to reach 14 billion USD by the end of 2026. Thailand currently ranks among the top three markets in Southeast Asia and the top 10 globally for vertical drama application downloads.
Wintharadis Kolasthasenee, Managing Director of TrueID, stated that today's consumers demand seamless movement between content, payments, and digital rewards. The mini-app strategy allows content and services to reach users directly within the platforms they already use daily, while providing opportunities for local creators to scale content regionally and globally.
Patsakorn Laohrenu, Director of Strategy and Business Development, Department of Content and Media at CP Group, noted that TATANG by TrueID launches with over 40,000 episodes of premium vertical dramas. The partnership with DramaBox will also extend into developing Thai original productions, localizing global intellectual properties, and pursuing co-production opportunities to support local writers, directors, and actors.
Ruiqing Chen, Chairman of DramaBox, highlighted Thailand as a strategic growth market. The collaboration aims to leverage CP Group's market reach to deliver short-form content and co-develop global stories adapted into Thai narratives.
TATANG by TrueID is available via a subscription model priced at 69 THB per week or 159 THB per month. Promotional tiers for True and dtac customers include a monthly rate of 39 THB, or access redemption using TruePoints or dtac Reward Coins.
