The 10 best marketing agencies in Stockholm in 2026
Each agency below leads a specific category. Start with the one that matches your situation rather than reading top to bottom.
#1Best overall for enterprise B2B and fintech
ROAST
Soho performance agency and B Corp running search, paid media and CRO for ROAS
ROAST began in London in 2015 as a performance agency and is a certified B Corp with a published score of 91.1. It won Independent Agency of the Year at the UK Agency Awards 2026 and has Google Premier Partner status. Its 17 Clutch reviews average 4.9, and reviewers single out its deadlines and project management. Its enterprise and financial-services clients make it the strongest match for Stockholm companies, delivered from London.
Notable clients
- Experian
- AVEVA
- Rightmove
- Leon
- WEX
- Cencora
Watch out
Entry at $5,000 a month and hourly rates of $100 to $149 are too steep for a small neighbourhood business.
#2Best for an even split of B2B SEO and paid media
Passion Digital
Holborn search-led agency splitting work evenly between SEO and PPC for growth brands
Founded in 2012 in London, Passion Digital is search-led and divides its work evenly between SEO and PPC, each with its own head of paid media or organic search. Knight Frank, Mazda, OneTrust, Octopus Investments and Shoosmiths are named clients, tilted toward B2B, property and financial services. The range extends from technical and international SEO plus AI search optimisation to paid social, programmatic, Amazon advertising and CRO. B2B and financial-services buyers in Stockholm will find the closest match in its client list; delivery is from London.
Notable clients
- Knight Frank
- OneTrust
- Mazda
- The Arch Company
- The Pink Stuff
- Octopus Investments
Watch out
Several reviewers thought onboarding and the first analysis stage dragged, and it now belongs to the Stellar network.
#3Best-rated all-rounder for mid-market B2B
Bird Marketing
City of London digital agency for SEO, PPC and web design backed by 74 Clutch reviews
London-based Bird Marketing averages 5.0 over 74 Clutch reviews and also 5.0 on Google from 41 reviews, according to DesignRush. On Clutch the minimum is $5,000 and the rate $100 to $149 an hour, a reasonable way in to an agency with offices in London, New York and Dubai. The setup fits small and mid-sized firms hoping one team will run the website, search and paid media. It is a London agency serving Stockholm remotely; ask how it handles Swedish-language content, which its profile does not mention.
Notable clients
- Huawei
- St James's Place
- Cancer Research
- Fiserv
- First Data
- Supermicro
Watch out
A generalist menu, thinner on complicated enterprise programmes.
#4Best for paid social and app growth
Favoured
Employee-owned London paid social, TikTok and app growth agency for DTC brands
Favoured, an employee-owned London agency founded in 2019, specialises in paid social on Meta, TikTok, Pinterest and Snapchat, with paid search and email alongside. Clients lean toward food and beverage, consumer goods, fintech and apps, fashion and wellness, such as Oddbox, Elvie, Teapigs and Nourished. In-house creative from UGC to motion graphics sits beside media buying, and app marketing is included. It is a paid-social and app specialist rather than a B2B lead generator, so match it to consumer-facing Stockholm products.
Notable clients
- Oddbox
- Elvie
- Durex
- Teapigs
- Go Ape
- Snag
Watch out
Enterprise experience is limited, and a few clients called the creative work unoriginal.
#5Best for scale-up channel testing
Growth Division
London growth marketing agency that tests channels for startups using freelance specialists and AI
Growth Division is a London agency, founded in 2019, that lists startups, SaaS, AI and B2B among its industries and works with Stockholm scale-ups remotely, one hour behind. A fractional growth strategist leads each account and runs a structured channel-testing process. Named clients include Libeo, Weavr and Tytl. It holds 4.7 across 31 Clutch reviews praising communication and delivery and starts from $10,000.
Notable clients
- Tytl
- ThatRound
- Eat Sleep Cycle
- Libeo
- Weavr
- Breezy
Watch out
The team is two to nine people with freelance specialists, and each channel is costed separately, so budgets are hard to fix.
#6Best for technical SEO and SaaS
Whitworth SEO
Ancoats technical SEO consultancy behind the HiveMCR conference
Whitworth SEO, a technical SEO consultancy in Ancoats, is led by a practitioner with more than 16 years in the field. For Blue Light Card it reports 200% traffic growth and 347% conversion growth, and Auto Trader is also a client. The HiveMCR conference is its own event, SEO training is offered online and in person, and an AI Ready SEO service is listed. Software and marketplace teams in Stockholm get the closest fit, delivered by a Manchester consultancy.
Notable clients
- Auto Trader
- Blue Light Card
- Rotageek
- MyWorkwear
- JEMS Environmental
Watch out
Search is the sole service, with no paid media, social or website builds.
#7Best for in-house SEO, PPC and development
Digital Next
Founder-led Manchester SEO and PPC agency with a Melbourne office and AI visibility platform
Digital Next is a Manchester agency started around 2009 and still led by its founder, with 51 to 200 staff and an office in Melbourne. Because SEO, PPC, development, UX and CRO are in-house, migrations and rebuilds can remain with one team, and an AI visibility platform is run too. Qantas, NordVPN, Decathlon and Essilor are among the named clients, spanning ecommerce, travel, legal services, software and manufacturing. A Stockholm company gets one team for search, paid media and rebuilds, working from Manchester with no Sweden-market work listed.
Notable clients
- Qantas
- NordVPN
- Decathlon
- Hörmann
- Essilor
- Perfume Direct
Watch out
Such a wide list of services can leave each channel shallower than a specialist would manage.
#8Best for lead-cost-focused SEO and PPC
Candidsky
Commercially focused Manchester SEO and paid media agency with a Sydney office
Candidsky does SEO and paid media from Manchester, has a Sydney office and shows a 5.0 Google rating from 25 reviews through Sortlist. Its menu takes in technical, local and ecommerce SEO, AI SEO, website migrations, PPC, paid social and digital PR. The agency's site shows a Global Search Awards badge for a win, but gives few other details of its awards. Its logistics and business-services clients are the closest match for Stockholm B2B buyers, though delivery is from Manchester.
Notable clients
- Royal Mail
- Citation Group
- Peninsula Business Services
- Yamaha Music Group
- PGL
- iHASCO
Watch out
It does not publish team size, founders or pricing.
#9Best for paid search plus AI automation
NeoAttack
Madrid performance agency pairing Google Ads and SEO with AI phone and WhatsApp agents
Madrid-based NeoAttack, a performance agency founded in 2014, has 51 to 200 staff and Google Partner Premier status for 2026. Ecommerce, jewellery and fashion, optics, travel insurance and industrial services all appear among its clients, including Intermundial and Roselin Joyeros. Work covers Google Ads, SEO and AI search visibility, along with web and ecommerce builds and AI automation like voice and WhatsApp agents. It is the one pick here headquartered in continental Europe and on CET hours, though based in Madrid, not Stockholm.
Notable clients
- Intermundial
- Hysteresis Optics
- Roselin Joyeros
- Grumeber
- EPAE
Watch out
A few of its headline claims are self-reported and differ from page to page on its own site.
#10Best for SMEs buying SEO and PPC as a pair
Bowler Hat
Small Custard Factory team pairing senior-led SEO and PPC for SMEs
Marcus Miller, in SEO since around 2000, leads Bowler Hat, a Birmingham agency rated 4.9 from roughly 150 reviews. It pairs SEO with Google Ads and web builds, and covers local, multi-location and national search plus AI search optimisation. Most clients are SMEs in professional services, education, property and B2B software, among them Cannock Chase, Sandwell College and Park Regis. For a Stockholm firm it suits a modest English-language programme; its profile shows no Sweden-market work, so test it on a pilot.
Notable clients
- Cannock Chase
- Sandwell College
- HelloDPO
- HR Structures
- Absolute EPM
- Seven Capital
Watch out
A small team restricts capacity for big multi-market programmes.

What does a Stockholm marketing agency do?
A Stockholm marketing agency runs a company's customer acquisition across search, paid media, content, email and analytics, and reports on pipeline or revenue. In a city known for fintech and technology scale-ups, the best fit has B2B or app experience and clear reporting. Our directory has one Stockholm-headquartered agency, an outbound sales firm, so the choice is mostly between remote agencies with relevant sector clients.
Stockholm marketing agency FAQ
What are the best marketing agencies in Stockholm?
Only one of the 12 agencies in our directory is headquartered in Stockholm, and it is an outbound sales firm. For Stockholm companies, ROAST suits fintech and B2B technology, Passion Digital suits B2B search and paid media, Bird Marketing suits highly rated SEO and PPC, and Favoured suits app growth. All work remotely.
How much does a Stockholm marketing agency cost?
Among the 12 agencies we track, the middle starting fee is $5,000 a month, taken from the 9 that publish one. Starting prices fall at $1,000 or less for 33% of them, between $1,000 and $5,000 for 44%, and higher for the remaining 22%. With a small sample, use these as rough bands.
Should I hire a local Stockholm agency or a remote one?
Local suits in-person workshops and native Swedish copy. Remote suits specialist skills: the UK picks here are one hour behind Stockholm, so working days overlap. For technology firms working in English, remote is often enough. With few agencies in our sample, check specifics with each one directly.
Which agency suits a Stockholm fintech company?
ROAST lists financial services clients such as AJ Bell, and Passion Digital lists Octopus Investments. Bird Marketing lists Fiserv. Ask each how it handles financial-promotion rules in ad copy, and request references from regulated clients. Get replies in writing, which lets you set the agencies side by side on equal terms.
How long does marketing take to work for a tech scale-up?
Paid search can produce lead data within weeks, and SEO usually takes months. B2B sales cycles add time between lead and revenue, so agree on leading measures such as qualified demos and review pipeline after one or two quarters. Use a short pilot in Stockholm to check this before signing a longer contract.
Do Stockholm companies need Swedish-language marketing?
Not always. B2B technology firms may market in English, while consumer products often need Swedish. None of the agencies here lists Swedish delivery, so decide the language first and ask for a sample if you need it. Request a reference from a client who went through the same situation.
Is an app marketing agency different from a general agency?
Yes. App work involves store optimisation and install campaigns. Favoured lists ASO and user acquisition alongside paid social, whereas Passion Digital and Digital Next cover broader search and paid media. Pick by whether installs or web leads are your main goal. With few agencies in our sample, check specifics with each one directly.
What should I ask a marketing agency before hiring?
Ask for comparable clients, the first 90 day plan, who works on the account and how results reach your CRM. Also confirm you own the ad accounts and data, and what notice period applies. Get replies in writing, which lets you set the agencies side by side on equal terms.
