Expert Reviewers
We evaluate agency applications with a comprehensive team and agencies are listed on our site with the approval of expert reviewers in the final stage. Meet our experts.
Evren co-founded and successfully exited two digital agencies, along with Dijital Ajanslar, a leading Turkish marketplace connecting agencies and brands. Leveraging his experience, he launched DAN Global in London (2017). DAN Global provides a powerful suite of online platforms, industry insights, and tools to elevate agencies and marketers. This includes the Digital Agency Network (DAN), a global network fostering connections between agencies and brands.
Evren Kacar is dedicated to driving intelligence, reach, and impact for both agencies and the entire digital marketing landscape.
Digital marketing uses online channels and technologies to promote products, services, and brands.
It includes a multifaceted approach that aims to:
- Increase brand visibility,
- Reaching a wider audience,
- Enhancing brand awareness,
- Attracting prospects and converting them into clients,
- Building engagement and loyalty through interactive experiences.
Regarding digital marketing, there is a common misconception that it requires a massive investment. While sophisticated campaigns can involve relatively large budgets, numerous cost-effective strategies are available.
You can achieve remarkable results from organic social media engagement to targeted email marketing without breaking the bank. To achieve this, digital marketing operates based on the following principles:
- Understanding your audience demographics, interests, behaviors, and online habits is paramount.
- Developing high-quality, relevant, and engaging content that resonates with your target audience is crucial.
- Optimizing your website and content to rank higher in search engine results pages to improve organic visibility.
- Running paid ads on search engines and social media platforms to reach specific audiences and drive immediate results.
- Taking advantage of social media platforms to build brand awareness, engage with customers, and drive traffic to your website.
- Tracking key metrics, analyzing campaign performance, and making data-driven adjustments to optimize results.
To answer that question hinges on several key factors:
Firstly, carefully assess your internal capabilities. Do you possess the necessary time, resources, and in-house expertise in areas such as SEO, PPC, social media marketing, digital PR, video marketing, or content creation?
Salesforce research indicates that 79% of customers expect consistent interactions across departments, highlighting the importance of cohesive and skilled marketing efforts that may require external support.
If your team is already overworked or you do not have these resources, a digital marketing agency can offer invaluable assistance and expertise.
Second, think about your marketing objectives. If you have marketing goals requiring a multifaceted approach, an agency can offer strategic planning, access to state-of-the-art tools, and the ability to execute complex campaigns successfully.
In other words, consider hiring a digital marketing company if:
- You lack the necessary internal resources or expertise.
- You need to quickly scale your marketing efforts.
- You require a comprehensive and strategic approach to digital marketing.
- You want to access and use advanced technologies.
- You prioritize a data-driven and results-oriented approach.
In the end, the choice depends on a careful analysis of your unique requirements, available funds, and available resources.
Digital marketing agencies in the UK offer a wide range of services to help businesses achieve their online goals.
Here’s a breakdown of some of the most common offerings and UK specificity:
Service | Description | UK Specificity |
---|---|---|
AI Marketing | Using AI-powered tools for tasks like content creation, ad targeting, customer segmentation, and predictive analytics. | Deep understanding of UK search behavior and competition. |

PPC Advertising | Running paid ads on search engines and social media platforms. | Expertise in UK-specific platforms and ad formats. |
Social Media Marketing | Managing social media accounts, identifying audiences, creating related content, and engaging with target users. | Using UK-specific social media trends and most-used platforms. |
Content Marketing | Creating unique & related content (blog posts, videos, etc.) to attract and engage customers. | Adapting content to UK English and cultural nuances. |
Video Marketing | Creating and distributing video content on online platforms for marketing purposes. | Producing culturally relevant video content for UK audiences. |

Why are factors specific to the UK important when choosing services?
- GDPR Compliance: All UK digital marketing activities must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which has strict rules regarding data collection, storage, and use.
- Data Privacy: UK consumers are increasingly concerned about data privacy. Brands and businesses must prioritize transparent data-handling practices and build trust with their clients.
- Cultural Nuances: Understanding UK culture, humor, and language is crucial for creating effective marketing campaigns.
The choice between teaming up with a freelancer or a UK-based marketing agency is mostly based on the project’s scope, budget, and particular needs.
Let us take a brief look at the advantages of digital marketing agencies:
- Digital marketing agencies offer a team of specialists in various areas, such as SEO, PPC, social media, and more.
- A digital marketing agency can scale its services as the company grows and provide tailored strategies to match evolving needs.
- Digital marketing agencies are well-run businesses with project managers, open processes, and accountability.
Here’s a comparison table between a digital marketing agency and a freelancer:
Feature | Digital Marketing Agency | Freelancer |
---|---|---|
Pros |
|
|
Cons |
|
|
Best For | Businesses/brands with larger budgets, requiring a wide range of services and seeking a structured approach | Businesses/brands with smaller budgets, requiring specific services, and value flexibility and personalized attention |
Key Considerations | Agency size, team expertise, testimonials, contract terms | Freelancer specialization, portfolio, client reviews, contract terms |
The decision of whether to hire a digital marketing agency in the UK or handle your marketing in-house depends heavily on your specific needs, resources, and objectives, of course.
No doubt that digital marketing companies can develop comprehensive strategies, use advanced tools and technologies (powered by AI), and provide valuable insights into the UK market.
This frees up your time to focus on core business activities while ensuring your marketing efforts are strategically aligned.
In other words, hiring a digital marketing agency in the UK offers several advantages, including access to a team of experienced professionals with diverse skills.
Conversely, handling your marketing in-house requires significant time and resources and may necessitate acquiring new skills and staying abreast of industry best practices.
So, yes, hiring a digital marketing agency is worth it. However, it’s best to take into account the important factors when hiring a digital marketing agency in the UK:
- Define your marketing objectives and desired outcomes at the first stage.
- Determine how much you are willing to invest in digital marketing.
- Assess your available time, skills, and internal resources.
- Consider the potential risks and rewards associated with each option.
Determining the exact cost of hiring a digital marketing company in the UK can be challenging as pricing varies based on factors like the services required, the agency’s expertise, the team size, and the complexity of your business.

As we mentioned before, the precise costs of hiring a digital marketing agency may vary depending on unique needs and the agency’s pricing schedule; these are only estimates.
Many small businesses lack in-house knowledge in areas like SEO, PPC advertising, social media marketing, content creation, and emerging specializations like digital PR and video marketing, as highlighted in a recent Forbes Agency Council article.
And, yes, small businesses seeking to enhance their online presence often explore the option of outsourcing marketing efforts to a professional online marketing agency.
Generally, small businesses can expect to invest within these ranges for UK-based agencies:
- Entry-Level: £500 – £1,000 per month.
This typically includes standard services; social media planning & posting, basic email campaigns, and introductory SEO efforts.
- Mid-Range: £1,000 – £2,000 per month.
This tier often encompasses a broader scope, including SEO, pay-per-click ads, social media management, content creation (static posts, videos, or written content), and basic website maintenance.
- Premium: £2,000+ per month.
This level involves comprehensive campaigns with advanced strategies, such as advanced SEO, targeted PPC campaigns, digital PR, video marketing (and production), influencer marketing, and ongoing data analysis and website optimization.
