How to Promote Your Digital Marketing Agency on Social Media [11 Examples Included]

More often than not, digital marketing agencies completely forget about taking care of their own social media presence.

This is quite paradoxical, considering they know better than anyone just how essential it is to use social media marketing to promote their unique marketing portfolio, team, and personality of their brand.

Your potential clients may dig into your social media channels before hiring you. So, instead of vying exclusively for your client's praise, why not put your heads together with your team members and create something even competing agencies and brands haven't thought to do?

Yes, we know you're tight on time, and you'd rather use your creativity to boost your clients' social media presence. But think of the gain in the long term and what your competitors are doing. The number of digital marketing agencies will only continue to grow, and you need to set yourself apart

So without further ado, let's cover some burning questions and take a look at some of the best examples of agencies smashing it on social media:

Should you spend more time promoting your agency on social media?

You're not alone if you're wondering why your agency's social media management is essential.

Digital marketing is a highly competitive industry. Thousands of agencies are available, so your potential clients have plenty of options for their marketing and advertising needs. But when it comes to social media management, there are even more consultants and freelancers to add to the list.

Regardless of that tight competition, you have much to gain from establishing a social media presence, especially if you're a social media marketing agency. It will help you promote your portfolio and showcase your expertise in this field.

So, let's get down to business and learn how to promote your agency the best way using the potential of social media. It's time to focus on increasing your social media visibility, making it easier for your potential clients to find your content.

2. Marketing your marketing agency on social media

1. Choose the right social media channels

Before we begin coming up with ideas on how to promote your marketing agency, you need to consider the best social media channels for promoting it. You probably already know that you don't need to maintain a presence on every single platform. However, it does help to consider which platforms are the most suitable for the type of content you are creating.

That's why narrowing down your choices to any of the following high-traffic channels could prove useful:

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a unique, specialised platform primarily utilised by audiences between the ages of 25-34. You'll find a lot of professionals here searching for jobs, recruiting employees, networking, and building their personal brands.

This platform lends itself to showcasing agency-specific content, building credibility in the digital marketing landscape, and sharing your client success stories. More importantly, a well-thought-out LinkedIn marketing strategy can be quite valuable for B2B lead generation.

For example, UPS shares customer testimonials case studies on LinkedIn, helping to convert more customers and build trust. This post includes a happy customer and the employee who helped create a pleasant experience.

Once you have created your personal profile, you can send personalised messages to prospects as well as your connections and keep growing your network by connecting with people you meet at events or online. Once you're ready, you can set up a LinkedIn Company Page for your agency and promote it to your network alongside your regular posts.

Though expensive, LinkedIn advertising can also help market your services and reach your ideal customers once you have a good idea of who they are.

Instagram

Instagram is the channel of choice for a younger demographic - 67% of US adults aged 18-29 use the app. So the platform is a great place to showcase your capabilities (especially if you offer visual content creation services).

Instagram keeps innovating in the space and has come a long way since being acquired by Facebook in 2012. With the recent addition of shopping tools and Reels and the increasing popularity of Instagram Carousel, it is leading the way in how audiences can interact with content on social media platforms, making it a great place to stretch your content creation muscles as an agency.

To connect with your audience on Instagram, ensure that your content is entertaining and valuable. Boring, technical, or otherwise ordinary content doesn't seem to do too well on this channel. So make sure to include various post formats in your content calendar that will allow you to present different sides of your social media agency.

If you have a budget, you can launch effective social media ads and attract more interest for your agency. Remember - your own social efforts can show potential clients how well you can do the job, and they may be more inclined to consider and let you run theirs.

Twitter

Twitter is well-known for its short text content. Mentioning links here can help share the content you've created. Moreover, regularly tweeting about marketing trends tells others that you're active and up-to-date with what's going on in the industry.

If you've won some awards or gained recognition from other agencies, mention it in your bio and about sections. Perhaps most importantly, don't underestimate the power of Twitter for networking - almost anyone with a public profile is just one message away, and you can use this to your advantage when collaborating with brands or working with exciting people in your space.

Facebook

Facebook is a versatile platform that allows agencies to post text and video content. With 2.60 billion monthly active users and 1.73 billion daily visitors, there's a lot of traffic here.

Everyone knows Facebook is still the biggest social media platform. But with everything happening on other networks, many wonder if it's losing relevance. However, Facebook remains a powerful place because:

• It's an effective tool for building brand awareness
• It helps businesses establish trust with search engines
• Businesses can target their best customers with paid Facebook Ads
