Paid Media is the backbone to the success of any growing brand in 2022.
So it's no surprise you're looking to find one of the best Paid Media agencies in the UK.
But, it's tough to find an agency that is trusted and reliable. This is exactly why we've created this very article, so you have all the best agencies in one easy list.
Now, you don't have to search across the 679,000,000 results that Google presents you with.
We're going to cover paid media experts in eCommerce, B2C, B2B, SaaS and Small Businesses.
Sounds good?
Let's get stuck in.
As you might have guessed, not all performance marketing agencies are the same. We’ve done all the hard work and created a list of the 13 best UK performance marketing agencies. This list hasn’t been created using only our criteria but the main points that make a top performance marketing agency.
Without verifiable and provable results, how would you ever know an agency can do what they say they can? Check their case studies section and client references to ensure they can deliver on their claims.
Are you a B2B brand? eCommerce? Small Business?
Make sure they have relevant experience in your industry and your size of business.
For example, here at The Social Shepherd, we are specialists at eCommerce businesses, making us a great option for any brand that sells products online, but not so much for B2B businesses.
Maybe you're missing opportunities out in Paid Social and need an agency with expertise within that section of Paid Media. Look deeper into their case studies to ensure it's not just one channel they've performed in but can help you across a variety.
Throughout the proposal and intro call stages, how has their communication been? Has it been efficient and friendly? Make sure it fits in line with the ways you like to communicate and work.
Now that you know what to look for let’s jump into the top paid media agencies you can find in the UK!
