Best Social Media Agencies in Vancouver (2026)

Introduction

Seven Vancouver agencies stand out for social media work in 2026, covering influencer programmes, organic and paid social, creator partnerships and social-led PR. Each has a working office in Greater Vancouver, from Yaletown and Mount Pleasant to Port Moody.

Social work in Vancouver is shaped by the brands based here. Apparel names such as lululemon, Arc’teryx and Aritzia set a high bar for creator-led content, while tourism, food and drink, credit unions and a large consumer tech base keep demand steady for local influencer campaigns and community management. Hootsuite, the social media management platform, is headquartered in the city, though as a software company it is not on this list. Many of the agencies below combine social with PR, events or media relations, which suits brands that want launches covered by both creators and press.

Every firm here has a Vancouver office shown on its own website in 2026. The list is shorter than most in this series: a number of firms that appear in agency directories had no verifiable Vancouver studio, so they were left out. It runs in no fixed order of merit, since the right fit depends on your platforms, budget and how much of the work you want handled outside your own team.

The best social media agencies in Vancouver

Its client list leans towards consumer and hospitality brands with a Vancouver audience. Named work includes HARIBO, Purdy’s Chocolatier, NETGEAR, Michael Hill Jewellers, VanDusen Festival of Lights, Shangri-La Hotel and TELUS StoryHive. Popcorn also helps companies entering North America with go-to-market plans, which can be useful for brands launching in Canada for the first time.

It suits brands that want social and influencer work run by the same team that handles press, particularly for launches across Canada and the US.

3. Yulu Public Relations

Certified B Corp · Vancouver · yulupr.com

Yulu is a Vancouver-headquartered communications agency focused on social and environmental impact. It has been a Certified B Corp since 2015 and is registered as a Benefit Company. Alongside PR and brand purpose strategy, it runs a digital strategy and social media practice and creator programmes covering influencer selection, campaign execution and measurement.

Named clients include The Body Shop, Audible, WWF, B Lab US & Canada, Carbon Engineering and Traditional Medicinals, for which it built an influencer strategy. It is a natural fit for purpose-led brands, nonprofits and climate companies that want social content tied closely to their mission and reporting.

4. Sky Alphabet Social Media

Independent · Downtown · skyalphabet.com

Sky Alphabet is a social media agency at Park Place on Burrard Street, incorporated in 2017. Its speciality is unusual: corporate and investor relations social media for companies listed on the NYSE, Nasdaq, TSX, TSX-V and OTC markets, alongside general social management, paid social and influencer marketing.

The agency won at the 2024 Global Social Media Awards and was recognised at the Canadian Search Awards in 2020 and 2021. Its client names are not published, which is common for IR work. Ask for recent examples, since its site does not show news from 2025 or 2026.

5. The Social Agency

Independent · Port Moody · thesocialagency.ca

The Social Agency has worked from the Tri-Cities since 2009 and now has its office on Brew Street in Port Moody. It offers social media management, content creation, social ads and influencer marketing, along with brand messaging, PR and newsletters, which makes it a practical one-stop option for smaller organisations.

Clients include the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets, Better Together BC, Water Worlds and Once A Tree Furniture, with testimonials from the Rick Hansen Foundation and Telus Health. The work is well suited to community-focused brands and nonprofits across the Lower Mainland.

6. Pound & Grain

Independent · Mount Pleasant · poundandgrain.com

Pound & Grain is a digital creative agency on West 7th Avenue in Mount Pleasant, with a second office in Toronto. It has worked with clients since 2010 across strategy, creative, digital innovation and media, and produces global social media content for Paramount.

Other clients include Arc’teryx, TELUS, BCLC, SAP, Hormel Foods (SPAM and Corn Nuts), the CFL and the BC Government’s WorkBC. It is a fit for brands that want social content made as part of a wider digital campaign, with paid media handled by the same agency.

7. Marvel Marketing

Founder-led · Fairview · marvelmarketing.ca

Marvel Marketing was founded in 2014 by Ryan McRae, who remains CEO, and has an office on West Broadway in Fairview. Its Vancouver social practice covers social media management, paid social advertising and brand management across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, alongside SEO, web design and content writing.

The agency’s published case studies focus on local service businesses, such as contractors, trades and counselling practices, and report on leads and bookings. That makes it a sensible option for owner-run businesses that want social and search managed together with clear lead reporting.

What to look for in a Vancouver social media agency

Start with the shape of the agency. Several of the strongest Vancouver options are PR or communications firms with social and influencer teams, while others are social-first boutiques or digital agencies that make social content as part of a campaign. PR-led agencies are good at launches and earned coverage. Boutiques usually give more day-to-day attention to community management and posting.

Ask how influencer work is run. A good agency should explain how it finds creators, how contracts and usage rights are handled, whether it runs whitelisted (creator-licensed) ads, and how it reports results beyond reach. In a city with a large creator community in fitness, outdoors, food and travel, it is worth asking which local creators the agency has worked with recently.

Check who will manage your account and how often content is reviewed. Social calendars move fast, and a single campaign can involve dozens of short videos, captions and creator drafts. Agree on approval turnaround and who signs off before anything is posted, especially for regulated sectors such as finance or listed companies.

Finally, look at how drafts, feedback and approved files are handled. Short-form video goes through several rounds before it goes live, and feedback spread across DMs, email and comment threads is easy to lose. Agencies that keep drafts, client comments and final cuts in one shared place tend to post faster and repeat fewer mistakes.

How Fabric helps social media agency teams

Fabric gives a social team one workspace for drafts, creator content, client feedback and account knowledge, with AI search across all of it. The agency setup works around one space per client, and there are guides for social content creation and TikTok agencies.

A content calendar can run on Kanban, where any folder becomes a board and each card is the actual video, image or caption file. Moving a draft from “in edit” to “client review” to “approved” moves the file itself, so nobody posts an old version. Creator footage and raw clips sit in the cloud drive, which streams files on demand without filling local disks.

Client review runs through sharing. Share a draft or a folder with the client as a commenter, and they can open it through the link without signing up. With annotations, they leave timestamped comments on video and audio, draw on a video frame to point at a caption or product shot, and draw on images with a comment attached. The team marks each comment completed as it is fixed, so a round of feedback works like a checklist. There is a walk-through in how to get client feedback on a video.

Search works by meaning across documents, images and transcribed audio and video, so a strategist can find the clip where a creator mentions a product and jump straight to that timestamp. On Team plans, self-writing docs keep a page for each client from meetings, Slack and the workspace, covering decisions, deliverables and open items.

Self-writing docs are included on Team plans, from $125 a month. See plans for teams.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best social media agency in Vancouver?

It depends on the brief. For influencer and event-led campaigns with local consumer brands, Popcorn has a long Vancouver client list. Talk Shop and Yulu suit brands that want social run alongside PR, and Sky Alphabet specialises in social media for listed companies.

Do Vancouver social media agencies handle influencer marketing?

Most of the agencies on this list do. Popcorn, Yulu, Sky Alphabet and The Social Agency all list influencer or creator programmes, and Talk Shop runs influencer relations as part of its PR and social work.

How do social media agencies differ from content studios?

Social media agencies plan, post, manage communities and run influencer and paid social programmes. Content studios focus on producing the photo and video assets themselves. Many brands use both, and Fabric keeps a separate list of Vancouver content studios.

Is Hootsuite a social media agency?

No. Hootsuite is a Vancouver-headquartered software company that makes a social media management platform. Agencies may use it to schedule and report on posts, but it does not run campaigns for clients, so it is not included here.

How should a brand review social content with an agency?

Agree on who signs off and how quickly before the first post. Reviewing drafts in one shared place, with comments tied to the exact frame or line, avoids feedback getting lost in email and DMs, and makes it clear which changes have been made.
