Best Social Media Agencies in 2026

We Are Social describes itself as a global socially-led creative agency with social media and influencer marketing expertise at its core. It reports a global team of 1,200 people, and its careers pages list vacancies across Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States, with studios mentioned in Milan, Amsterdam, Dubai and Sydney. The website offers twelve market editions and operates specialist units, including We Are Social Sport and We Are Social Studios.

Its stated positioning is creative work led by social platforms, with social media and influencer marketing expertise at the core rather than added to a traditional advertising offer. Its scale makes it one of the few social-first specialists able to run consistent programmes across many countries for global brands. The website's copyright line runs from 2008. Fees are not published, and the agency's size and global positioning mean it is generally oriented to large brand budgets rather than small businesses. Named clients were not listed on the people page reviewed, so buyers should request case studies relevant to their own sector.

VaynerMedia is an integrated creative and media agency within VaynerX, which it links in its site footer, and it describes itself as "The Modern Agency of Record". Its services cover creative, media, strategy, integrated campaigns, public relations, consulting, commerce, influencer and talent, and analytics.

The agency lists offices in Los Angeles, New York, Chattanooga, Chicago, Miami and Toronto in North America; Amsterdam and London in Europe; Mexico City in Latin America; and Australia, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand in Asia-Pacific. Client logos on its site include Bose, Coach, Diageo, Duracell, Indeed, Jimmy John's, Manolo Blahnik, Mondelez, NatWest, PepsiCo, Tinder, Wingstop and Anheuser-Busch. It states partnerships with Google, Meta, TikTok and Snap. Because it positions itself as an agency of record, social media is one part of a broader engagement that also covers media buying and PR. Fees are not published, and smaller brands may find the full-service model more than they need.

The Goat Agency was founded in 2015 to help brands work with online creators and describes itself as one of the earliest influencer marketing agencies. It became part of WPP through an acquisition that it describes as record-breaking, giving it access to the WPP network, and later moved into global headquarters in London and New York City.

The agency says that in 2025 it represented 650 social and influencer experts in 37 markets, with campaigns reaching 70 countries in 38 languages. Its timeline records growth to 200 staff before the WPP deal and a North American team of more than 50 employees. Its stated purpose is helping brands use the influence of online creators, which suits consumer brands that treat influencer marketing as a main channel rather than an add-on. Being part of a holding company brings scale and media buying connections, but buyers seeking an independent agency will prefer others in this list. Fees are not published.

Social Chain is a social media agency that says it has been shaping how brands appear online since 2014, from the early days of social to global creator campaigns. It is part of Brave Bison, which it describes as the wider "Brave Bison universe", combining creative storytelling with strategy and platform expertise.

The agency lists hubs in Manchester, London, New York, Singapore, Egypt, Bulgaria, Amsterdam and Dubai. Its featured work includes creator strategy for SharkNinja's Generation Glow campaign and community building through edutainment TikTok content for LinkedIn. It also runs SocialMinds, a content and insights brand, and an industry podcast. Social Chain's strength is native content for TikTok, Instagram and other platforms and its long experience of building audiences, which suits consumer and B2B brands seeking cultural relevance among younger audiences. Being part of a larger group brings resources, while buyers should confirm which hub will deliver their account. Fees are not published.

Viral Nation was founded in 2014 by Joe Gagliese and Mat Micheli as one of the first influencer talent agencies and has since expanded into a full-service social agency. It describes itself as building systems that turn social data into measurable growth for brands and creators.

Brand services listed include full-service social, influencer marketing, AI discovery, business intelligence, social strategy, a content studio, social experiential activations, paid media, community management and TikTok marketing. Viral Nation says it works with a very large roster of content creators and powers its campaigns with SocialAI, a proprietary system for brand-fit analysis and brand safety, which its timeline records as launched in 2026. The combination of a talent business and a brand agency gives it direct access to creators, which can speed up influencer programmes; it also means clients should understand how creators represented by the company are selected relative to the wider market. Fees are not published.

Billion Dollar Boy is a global social and influencer agency founded in 2014 that describes itself as one of the first influencer marketing agencies dedicated to helping brands build with creators. It has offices at 394 Broadway in New York and in Bloomsbury, London, and lists a group companion company called FiveTwoNine.

The agency states that it operates in 64 markets across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa and Asia-Pacific, with more than 200 team members and 60 award wins. Its proposition, which it brands Creator Instinct, combines creator content with connected social strategy, and it emphasises consistent execution, governance and reporting across multi-market programmes. The agency suits brands that want creator partnerships to sit at the centre of their social presence. Its focus on creators means brands needing mainly community management or customer care on social will find more specialised options, such as Social Element. Fees are not published.

Socially Powerful is a global influencer marketing agency that says it has run campaigns since 2017 and was founded by people who grew up with social platforms as creators and strategists. It has hubs in London, at 154–160 Fleet Street, New York, Dubai, at Meydan Grandstand, and Beijing, and operates across the UK, the US, Europe, China and the Middle East.

The agency reports a team of more than 200 experts working in more than 20 languages across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. Its proprietary influencer marketing platform, ARIA, provides real-time campaign tracking and reporting against measures such as reach and engagement. Services include influencer marketing and paid social. The presence in Beijing and Dubai is unusual among social agencies and suits brands targeting Chinese and Middle Eastern audiences alongside Western markets. Socially Powerful is primarily an influencer and paid social shop, so brands needing always-on community management or organic channel management will need to confirm scope. Fees are not published.

Social Element is a social media agency founded in 2002 by Tamara Littleton, created to grow and look after brands' online communities while keeping them safe. It describes itself as born in community and focused on protecting and growing brands socially.

Services include social intelligence, social media strategy, social playbooks, community management, creative and innovation, influencer marketing, paid social, brand protection, brand experiences, training and consultancy; it also publishes a Brand Currency Index and a podcast. The agency works remote-first, covers 39 countries, and reports an average length of service of 6.83 years, with 22% of its teams aged 44 to over 75. Its long experience in moderation and community care suits brands with large, active audiences or regulated categories where response handling and risk management matter. Its emphasis on community and protection means it is less known for headline creative campaigns than creative-led agencies such as We Are Social. Fees are not published.

Battenhall describes itself as the communications agency for the social media age. It is led by its founder and chief executive, Drew Benvie, and lists contact numbers in the United Kingdom and in the United States and Canada.

The agency combines social media with public relations and publishes an annual Year Ahead in Social report with predictions and data on social media trends, now in its 2027 edition. It lists industry awards from PRWeek, The Drum, GDXA, the PRCA, the CIPR and the UK Digital Growth Awards, mostly between 2023 and 2026, including PRCA Digital Agency of the Year. Battenhall says it advises some of the world's most admired companies, though it does not name them on its about page. Its PR heritage suits organisations that want social media treated as part of corporate and brand communications. It is a smaller, consultancy-style agency than the global networks in this list, and fees are not published.

The Social Shepherd is a social media agency founded in 2018 by co-founders Jack and Zoe. Its published timeline records rapid growth: a first office for three people in 2019, a team of 25 by 2021, 44 in 2022 and 55 in 2023.

In 2023 the agency moved into a new headquarters and announced plans to open offices in New York and Miami with five founding team members, marking its expansion to the US; the same year it won an award as best large social media agency. In 2024 it added further hubs and awards, and its co-founders took on new managing director and chief executive roles. The agency describes its specialists as scaling brands worldwide. Its services cover social strategy, content and community, paid social and search, social creative and production, influencer campaigns and UGC, TikTok Shop creator affiliates, analytics and social listening. It suits growth-stage and mid-sized brands that want a dedicated social agency with paid and organic capability. Its size is modest compared with the global agencies above, and fees are not published.

Born Social is a marketing agency headquartered in Port Melbourne, Australia, with a presence in Brooklyn, New York, working with brands in Australia, the United States and other markets. Although it is known for social media, the agency says social is only one part of its work, with strategists, creators, designers and digital specialists combined into a single client team so that clients manage fewer agencies.

Its services include social media management, UGC and influencer management, social strategy and paid advertising management, alongside content creation and retainers, photography and motion, brand and visual identity, packaging and graphic design, print and out-of-home, website design and development, email marketing and SEO. Its stated values emphasise straightforward communication, honest reporting and creative-first thinking. Born Social suits Australian consumer brands and businesses that want social, content and design from one supplier. Its founding date and headcount are not stated on its about page, its US presence is small, and fees are not published.

Jellyfish is a digital marketing company that is part of The Brandtech Group and reports more than 1,600 people across 30 offices in 22 countries. It is a broader digital partner than the social specialists in this list, and describes its mission, shared with its parent group, in terms of technology and generative AI; it offers social-focused products within that mix.

Among them is Social Agents, a tool that tracks cultural signals in real time so that brands can respond to trends before they peak, and Switchboard, which connects creative and media performance data to show which messages and content to optimise. For brands that want social signals and media performance analysed together, these tools offer one partner measuring creative and media in the same system. Its scale and group ownership suit large advertisers. Brands looking for a pure social or influencer specialist, or for hands-on community management, may find a focused agency more appropriate, and fees are not published.
