We get asked all the time: “Do you know any good social media marketing agencies in Canada?”
It’s one of the most common questions we hear after wrapping up a web design project. A new site is live, it looks great, and now the client wants eyeballs on it – fast. Social media marketing is an excellent source of traffic, but it’s not something we do at Azuro. We stay in our lane: web design and development, done well.
But we don’t leave clients to figure out the rest on their own.
Social media is crowded, and frankly, a lot of social media agencies overpromise and underdeliver. Finding a genuinely strong social media partner without a trusted referral is like throwing darts blindfolded. You might get lucky, or you might burn through your budget with nothing to show for it.
So here’s what we’ve put together: a shortlist of 10 Canadian social media marketing agencies that we actually trust. These aren’t random picks pulled from a Google search. We have real working relationships with these teams and have taken a close look at how they operate and what kinds of results they produce for their clients.
A few things worth knowing before you dive in:
Every agency on this list is a social media specialist – not a jack-of-all-trades marketing shop. Specialization matters, and focused agencies consistently outperform generalists.
We’ve also highlighted what each agency does best, because the right choice depends on your industry, the social media platforms you use, and your budget. There’s no single “best” agency for everyone.
None of these agencies paid for their spot, and there are no affiliate links – just our honest take.
