Frequently asked questions
What pricing model is most common among top social media agencies?
Top agencies typically use custom or tiered monthly retainers ranging from £800–£15,000+ per month. Enterprise and global agencies (We Are Social, VaynerMedia) rarely publish rates and require custom proposals. Mid-market agencies (Sociallyin, Disruptive Advertising) publish ranges, whilst SMB-focused agencies (LYFE Marketing) offer transparent fixed pricing from £800/month.
How do I choose between enterprise and SMB-focused agencies?
Enterprise agencies (Ignite Social Media, We Are Social) suit Fortune 500 and major consumer brands needing integrated, multi-platform campaigns. SMB agencies (LYFE Marketing) serve local and small businesses with limited budgets and simpler needs. Mid-market specialists (Disruptive Advertising, Sculpt) fit growing eCommerce and B2B SaaS companies seeking performance-focused expertise.
What is the advantage of Premier Partner agency status?
Premier Partners (e.g., The Social Shepherd with Meta, Google, TikTok, Pinterest) gain early access to beta features, dedicated platform support, and advanced tools before general availability. This enables faster testing of new campaign formats and optimisation strategies, but advantage depends on whether features directly improve your campaign KPIs.
