The 5 questions our editors get most often, answered honestly. These apply to social media advertising as a discipline regardless of city. Curated by humans ### How much does a paid social agency cost in the UK? UK paid social retainers in 2026 split three ways. Single-platform boutiques (Meta-only, TikTok-only) run £400-1,500 a month plus ad spend. Mid-market performance shops typically charge £1,500-3,500. Full multi-platform agencies covering Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, and YouTube charge £3,500-5,000+, often on a percentage-of-spend basis between 10% and 20%. LinkedIn B2B specialists sit at the upper end because CPMs are higher and audiences smaller, so workload stays high even on modest spend. ### What is the difference between Social Media Advertising and Social Media Marketing? Social Media Advertising is paid placement: Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, LinkedIn Campaign Manager, X Ads, and the rest. The agency manages targeting, bidding, creative, attribution, and spend. Social Media Marketing is the organic side: content calendars, community management, profile growth, and often influencer relations. Some agencies do both as one service, but the disciplines are different. Paid social is performance-led; organic social is brand and audience-led. AgencyIndex tags them separately so buyers can filter for whichever applies. ### How quickly does paid social start working? Launch is fast. Meta and TikTok campaigns typically go live within 3-7 days of brief, LinkedIn within 5-10 days, assuming creative is ready. Useful data follows quickly: Meta's learning phase needs roughly 50 conversion events per week to exit, which usually takes 7-21 days. Most accounts have a meaningful read at 2-4 weeks on Meta and TikTok, 3-6 weeks on LinkedIn. Compared to SEO this is fast; compared to Google Search it is similar pacing. ### Does the agency need to produce creative, or can we supply our own? In 2026 creative is the main performance lever, not bid management. Meta's Advantage+ and the Andromeda algorithm shift have moved most optimisation in-platform, so the agency's edge comes from testing volume and creative quality. UK paid social shops worth their fee produce static, UGC-style, motion, and short-form vertical video in-house, usually with a monthly delivery quota. Brands can supply their own creative, but results are typically better when using the agency's production or running a hybrid where they iterate on the brand's base assets. ### How has paid social changed in 2026? Three shifts. First, AI-led campaign management: Meta's Advantage+ Shopping and Advantage+ targeting are now default, so creative throughput and feed quality matter more than manual audience structures. Second, measurement: with iOS privacy losses ongoing, first-party data, CAPI, and modeled conversions are table stakes - agencies still relying on platform dashboards alone are behind. Third, commerce: TikTok Shop is established in the UK (eMarketer projects £11.75B in UK social commerce in 2026), and paid social increasingly drives in-app checkout, not website traffic.
