How To Find The Best Boutique Social Media Agency NYC
Get Social In The Concrete Jungle 🏙️
Just because New York is dubbed as “the city that never sleeps” doesn’t mean you should never be sleeping as a business owner. It’s time to hire a boutique social media agency to take at least one thing off your plate, and finding the right boutique agency to level up your online presence can make all the difference. But with so many options out there, how do you separate the real deal from the fakes like you would with the purses on the street? Allow me to spill the tea.
How To Find The Best Boutique Social Media Agency NYC
Step #1. Start with a Google Search
First things first, start with a thorough Google search for "boutique social media agencies NYC." Look for agencies that specialize in your industry - whether that's coffee shops, fashion brands, or any other niche. Agencies that showcase a robust portfolio of client work and case studies are a great sign that they know how to deliver results.
Step #2. Scour Social Media
But don't stop there - it's time to hit the socials! Scope out agencies on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more. Search for hashtags like #NYCSocialMediaAgency, #BoutiqueSocialMediaNYC, or #SocialMediaMarketingNYC to find the good stuff. The agencies that consistently post scroll-stopping content and engage with their followers are the ones you want in your corner.
A few other hashtags to try are:
#NYCSocialMediaAgency
#BoutiqueSocialMediaNYC
#SocialMediaMarketingNYC
#SocialMediaExpertNYC
#SMMAnyc
Step #3. Look for Industry Expertise
Industry expertise is key when evaluating agencies. At Scott Social, we've had the pleasure of collaborating with some seriously stellar NYC brands. Take Solid State Coffee, for example—this specialty roaster on the Upper West Side struggled to capture its artisanal vibes on social media. We came through with a content strategy that had their followers drooling (and converted that engagement into sales).
And then there's Elizabeth & Clarke, a luxury workwear line that needed help launching their brand in 2020 and turning their stylish followers into loyal customers. Our shoppable feed and influencer strategy had their DMs flooded in no time.
Step #4. Vet Their Portfolio
Speaking of portfolios, a next-level social media agency will have the receipts to back up its skills. Look for agencies that will spill all the juicy details—share those A+ case studies, metrics that show real ROI, and honest-to-goodness client testimonials. You want an agency that's going to be transparent every step of the way.
Step #5. Schedule a Consultation
And last but not least, don't be afraid to schedule a consultation and get to know these agencies in-person (or, you know, over Zoom). You want a team that gets your brand, goals, and unique NYC hustle. They should make you feel heard, not like just another client on their roster.
