How to choose

How to choose
the right firm for you.

The score ranks firms overall. Your project decides which one fits. This list is written for businesses that want an agency to run organic or paid social, from content and community to ad campaigns on Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok and others.

Paid social that brings sales: Look for case studies that give cost per result or revenue, not likes.
Organic content and community: Look for examples of content plans, posting cadence and reporting on reach and engagement.
B2B on LinkedIn: Look for LinkedIn campaigns with leads or pipeline figures.

How this list is made

How this list is made,
and our interest in it.

PixelCrayons publishes this list and is a social media marketing firm itself. It is scored on the same evidence and weights as every other firm and sits at number 4 with 59.7. ValueCoders, our sister company in the Vinove group, is left out of every list. That way the group never holds two places.

No firm paid to be listed or asked to be. We considered 16 firms and scored those with enough public evidence to score fairly. Every figure links to the page we read it from, with the date.

Read the full PixelCrayons Index method, or download this list as CSV. You are free to reuse our scores and this compilation under CC BY 4.0 if you credit PixelCrayons. The figures we read from Clutch and the firms’ own sites remain theirs. A listed firm can correct its data: email hello@pixelcrayons.com with Rankings correction in the subject line.
