Top 13 Paid Social Agencies In The UK (2024)

Finding the right Paid Social Agency is a challenging task.

When searching on Google for one, 617,000,000 results come up.

It's tough to look through all of these and find an agency that is trusted and reliable, and that will deliver the results they promise.

This is exactly why we've created this very article, so you have all the best Paid Media Agencies in the UK in one easy list.

Ready? Let's get started.

Why have we included all these agencies in our list?

We didn’t pick the top results from Google, as these can often be manipulated with paid ads and SEO rankings.

Instead, we’ve put together a list of agencies that check all the boxes & main points that make a top Paid Social Agency.

• Proven track record: If you’re looking for results, there’s no better way than checking their case studies and seeing what they’ve delivered for their clients, especially those in the same industry as your brand.

• Communication: Clear communication and transparency are key to working hand-in-hand with an agency, as they have to feel like an extension of your internal team.

• Team with expert knowledge: People are the product, so finding the team with the most expertise in your industry and relevant platforms is key to achieving top results.

• Channel expertise: Social is a complex and always changing industry, and onboarding an agency that is knowledgeable across all available channels and that keeps up with industry updates is a must.

Now that you know what to look for let’s jump into the top Paid Social Agencies you can find in the UK!
