Red flags
6 to watch
in any pitch
  • · No in-house creative production - paid social is creative-led, weak throughput means slow learning
  • · Percentage-of-spend pricing with no committed monthly creative quota or testing cadence
  • · Avoids discussing iOS privacy, signal loss, Conversions API, or modeled conversions
  • · Cannot explain platform attribution windows vs GA4 or CRM, or how they reconcile the gap
  • · No first-party data integration - no CAPI, no Customer Match, no offline conversion imports
  • · Refuses to give the brand admin access to its own Meta Business Manager, TikTok account, or LinkedIn Campaign Manager
Frequently asked

What brands ask about social media advertising agencies.

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

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.
