Best Social Media Agencies in Dublin (2026)

Introduction

Dublin has seven social media agencies and specialists worth a close look in 2026, ranging from a social-first creative shop that has just won Bord Bia’s account to a creator talent agency and two paid social teams. They were chosen for recent work, 2025 and 2026 recognition, and a clear social, content or creator offer.

The market is shaped by its clients. Irish consumer and state brands such as Tesco, AIB and Bord Bia want content with a local voice, while Meta and TikTok both run European operations from the Docklands. Recent news shows where the work is going: Bord Bia appointed Simply Social as its lead social content agency after a competitive tender in October 2026, and Wolfgang Digital took five wins at the 2026 Global Social Media Awards.

Every firm here has an active Dublin base in 2026. The list runs in no fixed order of merit, since the right choice depends on whether your brief is mostly content, paid media, creators or reputation.

The best social media agencies in Dublin

1. Simply Social

Social-first agency · Usher’s Quay · simplysocial.co

Simply Social describes itself as a social-first creative agency, and its services cover strategy, creative, paid and influencer work from offices in Dublin and London. In October 2026 Bord Bia appointed it lead social content agency after a competitive tender, covering strategy, production and creator management across Bord Bia’s owned channels.

Its case studies include an ongoing Marks & Spencer retainer with a TikTok launch, always-on food content for Tesco, and Gen Z entertainment content for Currys run from a real-time room. Other clients include Just Eat, Peroni, Optimum Nutrition and Universal Pictures. The production team is in-house, which suits brands that need a steady monthly volume of content.

2. Thinkhouse

Independent · The Liberties · thinkhousehq.com

Thinkhouse is an independent youth agency and certified B Corp, founded by Jane McDaid, based at Fumbally Square with a second office in London. Its work spans advertising, social and digital, PR, events and strategy. The Youth Lab, its insights and planning department, feeds research into that work, and the agency also publishes YOUTH magazine.

Recent work includes a youth platform for AIB, built on research into Ireland’s youth economy. It also handled PR on Heineken Ireland’s “The Pub That Refused To Die”, working with Publicis Dublin, LePub Milan, The Romans and Dentsu Red Star; the campaign won the Creative Strategy Grand Prix at Cannes Lions 2026. Thinkhouse is a natural first call when the audience is under 30.

3. Wolfgang Digital

Employee-owned · Dublin 2 · wolfgangdigital.com

Wolfgang Digital is based at Palmerston House on Denzille Lane and describes itself as Ireland’s first employee-owned trust, modelled on John Lewis. It is known first as a search and performance agency, and it offers paid social and social creative alongside that work. The agency lists five wins at the 2026 Global Social Media Awards, including Best Use Of Paid Social and Best Use of AI in Social Media.

It won six awards at the same event in 2025, for Visit Trinity’s “Dublin’s Worst Kept Secret” and for Petshop Ireland. Other clients include Woodie’s, Intersport Elverys, Brown Thomas and Jameson. It is a good fit for retail and ecommerce brands that want social and search measured together.

4. Vroom Digital

Paid social and search agency · Dublin 2 · vroomdigital.ie

Vroom Digital has been an agency since 2012 and is based on Adelaide Road. It runs paid social across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest, together with Google Ads, SEO and digital PR. Its 2025 awards include Best Small Agency at the Digital Media Awards, the Grand Prix and Best in Storytelling at the Spider Awards, and Best Use of Social Media in a Search Campaign at the European Search Awards.

Clients include Bank of Ireland Payment Acceptance, UNICEF Ireland, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, Europcar and PrepayPower. The site puts its emphasis on paid media, so brands that also need daily community management should ask how that would be covered.

5. Friday

Digital agency · Dublin · friday.ie

Friday is a Dublin digital agency that lists social media under its digital marketing services and shows Meta and TikTok partner badges on its site. Its services run wider than social, which helps when a campaign also needs work on other digital channels from the same team.

The client logos on its site include The National Lottery, Peter Mark, Fyffes, Fallon & Byrne, Grifols and Follain. That mix of consumer, retail and healthcare names is useful to mid-sized Irish brands looking for one digital partner. Ask for social-specific examples, since the site does not break the work down by client.

6. Cullen Communications

PR agency and certified B Corp · Ballsbridge · cullencommunications.ie

Cullen Communications has been running since 1985 and works from Clyde Road in Dublin 4. It is a full-service PR and marketing agency, and social media management and influencer engagement are part of a wider offer that includes media relations, events, public affairs and crisis work. It lists PRCA PR Agency of the Year 2024 among its recognition.

Featured work includes Continental Tyres, Ford Ireland, Lyreco UK & Ireland and Codex x AsIAm, with Applegreen, SEAI and Enterprise Rent-A-Car among the logos on its site. It suits organisations where social sits close to media relations and reputation, more than brands looking for a high-volume content team.

7. The Collaborations Agency

Creator talent agency · Dublin · thecollaborationsagency.com

The Collaborations Agency is an Irish talent agency managing digital creators alongside radio, TV, publishing and live event talent. Its roster covers comedy, food, parenting, fashion, sport, presenting and podcasting, and it matches brands with creators for campaigns, sponsorships, social collaborations and events.

Brands tied to its creator work include Follain, Repak, Bord Bia and Rimmel London, and its creators worked with brands at Bloom 2026. Its site carries testimonials from Edelman, Freud’s Group and Group M, which suggests it often works alongside other agencies. Since it represents its own roster, it works best when a brand already has a content lead and wants creators in place quickly.

What to look for in a Dublin social media agency

Start with where social sits in the agency. The firms above come to it from different directions: social-first creative, youth culture, performance media, PR and talent. Each background shapes how a brief gets answered, so it helps to decide first whether the main job is content volume, paid reach, creator partnerships or reputation.

Ask to see work made for Irish audiences. A small market means a national campaign reaches the same people several times, and local references are easy to get wrong. Agencies with both Dublin and London offices, such as Simply Social and Thinkhouse, can run a campaign across both markets, so check which team will make the Irish work.

Look closely at creator arrangements. Find out how creators are chosen, who holds the relationship, who owns the content afterwards and how paid use is handled. Ireland’s creator pool is fairly small and popular names work with many brands, so it is worth asking about category conflicts early. The Advertising Standards Authority’s rules on influencer disclosure are part of that conversation.

Then look at day-to-day production. A monthly social programme can mean dozens of assets, each with cut-downs for different platforms and several rounds of comments. Agree where files live, who signs off and how feedback is recorded before the first calendar goes out, since a late comment on a reactive post can cost the moment it was made for.

How Fabric helps social media agency teams

Fabric gives a social team one workspace for its files, client feedback and account knowledge, with AI search across all of it. The setup for social content teams is built around the way that work runs, and the wider agency setup keeps briefs, assets, calendars and call notes together, with one space per client.

Monthly content runs well on Kanban, where any folder becomes a board whose cards are the files themselves, so a reel moves from draft to approved without a separate tracker. The approach is set out in more detail under content planning. Raw footage and exports sit in the cloud drive, which streams files on demand so they take no local disk space.

Client review runs through shared links, which work without sign-up. Share a file or folder with the client as a commenter, and they can leave timestamped comments on video and audio, add a drawing on a video frame, or draw on an image and attach a comment to it. The team marks each comment completed as it is dealt with, so a round of annotations works like a checklist. There is more on the workflow under review and approval.

Past work is easy to reuse. Search works by meaning across documents, images and transcribed recordings, and results jump to the page or timestamp, so a line from last year’s creator shoot can be found from what was said. For finished reports and creator briefs, any file or folder can be published as a web page; published links are view-only, so comments stay on shared links.

On Team plans, self-writing docs maintain a page for each client from meetings, Slack and the workspace, covering decisions, deliverables and open items. They are available on Team plans from $125/month, and password protection and link analytics are included on Pro and Team plans. See plans for teams.
