Before it was easy to differentiate between big and small corpos because the former were just Holo/Niji and then Vshojo and then the rest were small by default, with no need to really bother with a definition since the difference was colossal. Now here's a small corpo that has slowly crawled from its usual spehere and now finds itself in no man's land.
Is it just number of talents? If so Phase is getting there
Is it having more than one branch? That will be the case by the end of the week.
Is it having talents that are actually big earners with considerable income for the company? Then Phase is still not there. They've grown a lot lately but it's still a handful of top talents carrying the company into semi-relevance. Maybe in half a year
Is it the actual size of the company and its ability to actually invest into making their talents into great successes? Then lmao no.
There's been a few times recently where they have put decent money into publicity, but overall Phase still has a complete small corpo mentality regarding talent support. Out of 27 talents how many have a second outfit? Only 2 I believe. How many have 3D models? One proper and 2 chibi ones. Merch? Aside from the big coffee meme, The company provides keychains, standees, dakis and the occasional mug (for the coffee). They recently added a handful of plushies I guess.
In short, several areas are approaching what one would optimistically see as big corpo-like, but the company at its core still retains the stingy poorfag mentality of a CEO starting up with merch in his garage. On a positive note, that mentality IS probably why they're still in the black, by never overreaching,
