What is Social Media?

Social media is a generic description for a collection of digital channels where conversations happen, trends take shape, memes come to life, and images, videos and opinions are shared publicly or within a community.

Since 2009, we’ve watched it evolve from a digital novelty into one of the most powerful tools for communication, marketing, and community-building.

At its core, social media encompasses a wide range of channels, each with its own language, audience, and rhythm. It’s where businesses can share content, have opinions, engage in debate, as well as create experiences, spark engagement, and build long-term brand loyalty.

Done right, social media is a living extension of your brand. Whether it’s through strategic content creation, paid campaigns, influencer partnerships, or customer interaction, it’s a space where brands can grow by listening, adding value, and showing up consistently.

After more than a decade and a half in this space, we’ve learned that success on social isn’t about chasing every trend and meme, it’s about understanding your audience, using data to guide your decisions, and telling stories that resonate.

That’s where we come in.

Umpf produces social media campaigns, stunts and content across a range of social media channels, from Instagram and Snapchat, to Twitter and Tik Tok, too. It takes the social into the physical environment with experiential social media campaigns and uses influencers to garner social buy-in.

What is the Cost of a Social Media Agency?

Social media budgets vary hugely depending on a variety of factors and variables. Think of it like looking for a new car – what’s the purpose and what are you looking to get out of it?: small little run around, something bigger for the family, or is it a top-end model? Or maybe, like a holiday car rental, you’re looking for a short, one-off project.

Before arriving at a cost, think about which services you need from your social media agency, and which you’ll look after in-house:

  • Social media strategy
  • Copywriting
  • Content plans
  • Content creation: images, graphics, video, GIFs, etc
  • Social media management
  • Community Management
  • Social listening
  • Paid social advertising

Next, in order to arrive at an accurate cost we’ll need to look at the frequency of posting ie how many individual posts per week; next, how many social media channels do you have? Will monitor and listening be office hours or longer? How about weekends an bank holidays?

  • Mid: expect to invest from £6,000-£8,000 per month
  • High: expect to invest more than £10,000 per month
