Podcast: What to consider before hiring a social media agency

In short

  • Discover what to look for when choosing a social media agency and how to avoid common mistakes.
  • Learn how to review its portfolio, creativity and expertise in short-form video and UGC.
  • Find out which metrics, day-to-day management and pricing models you should demand for a transparent collaboration.

In this episode, I explain the key points for choosing the right social media agency and avoiding common mistakes in video creation, social media management, etc.

We analyse whether a specialised agency or a full digital agency is right for you, how to evaluate its actual portfolio, what level of creativity it should bring, and why it is essential for it to master current formats such as short-form video and UGC.

We also review which metrics they should report to you, on which networks, what day-to-day management should look like (comments, private messages, interaction), and which pricing models are the most transparent to avoid surprises.
