With Google changing its algorithm every day, AI stealing traffic from ecommerce businesses, and social media algorithms (like Instagram’s) being completely crazy… You’re probably looking for a social media agency to replace your current agency or start working with one that complements your team or serves as an extension of your brand—and you’re right to consider it. Social media is at the heart of many companies and is a fundamental pillar for building a brand.

But the model has changed. Today, brands aren’t just looking for social media agencies that publish content; they’re looking for results, authenticity, and creativity. That’s why new hybrid solutions are emerging that move away from the obsolete traditional social media management model, mainly because of:

  • Low-quality content creation
  • Use of templates (Canva)
  • Recurring use of image/video libraries
  • Lack of internal agency resources and excessive workload
  • Content creation by department members (burnout + lack of creativity)
  • Lack of comprehensive strategies involving outsourced resources (creators, actors, co-branding…)

Obviously, this can’t be done by a social media agency that charges you €200 per month. But of course, not all companies can pay €3,000 per month for social media (some charge that much and still follow that outdated model).

So?

What to consider before choosing a social media agency

Before rushing into hiring an agency or whatever it is you’re planning to hire, consider these key factors:

  • Clear objectives: Do you want more visibility, engagement, traffic, or sales? Is your problem a lack of content? Quality content? Answer this out loud: What do you need, and what do you think you can achieve?
  • Monthly budget: a small agency usually costs between €300 and €1,000 per month, a midsize agency between €1,000 and €3,000, and a large agency easily exceeds €3,000, potentially reaching €20,000.
  • Type of content: organic, social ads, UGC, influencers… or everything.
  • Response capacity: social media changes every week; agility matters more than size.
  • Flexibility, rigidity, or freedom: what are you looking for?

Now, let’s get to the list of the best social media agencies.

No matter how serious your company is, a meme always brings a smile, right? :)

HICARI vs traditional social media agency

UGC platform as a complement to a social media agency

But don’t worry—if you absolutely need a social media agency (your boss insists), HICARI is still your perfect ally:

  • Create UGC videos to complement your agency’s valuable content or strategy.
  • Increase the variety of creators (faces) on your social media channels.
  • Test different creators and formats.
  • Save on costs compared with traditional content creation and even UGC agencies.

What a social media agency really does

Many companies confuse “publishing content” with “having a strategy”. A good social media agency or platform should handle:

  • Content strategy: tone, frequency and objectives for each network.
  • Content management or creation: the key to everything.
  • Community management: responding, moderating and driving engagement.
  • Creative assets: design, video and copywriting.
  • Paid Media (social UGC Ads): ad and audience optimisation.
  • Analysis and reporting: measuring performance and adjusting the monthly plan.
  • Social listening: identifying trends and conversations about the brand.

How to choose the best agency or platform for your company

  • Startups and SMEs: look for agility, UGC content and low costs. HICARI is ideal for this profile, as it allows you to focus on valuable video content at an incredible price.
  • Ecommerce: prioritise UGC agencies or platforms such as HICARI that allow you to create bespoke videos and use them in your ecommerce store on PDPs or throughout the different funnel stages.
  • B2B companies: opt for valuable content strategies (LinkedIn + testimonial UGC).
  • Large brands: combine a global agency (Ogilvy, Havas) with monthly UGC to fuel campaigns.
