Forecast-driven DTC growth across Meta, Google, and TikTok Shop
Common Thread Collective is a Costa Mesa ecommerce agency co-founded by CEO Taylor Holiday that starts every engagement with forecasting and contribution-margin modelling, then buys Meta, Google and TikTok media against those targets.

Notable clients
- Theragun
- Ann Taylor

- Olukai
Watch out
Minimums start at $10,000 a month, and its opinionated playbook may not suit brands wanting pure execution.

Micro-influencer and UGC agency for performance-driven DTC and app growth
inBeat is a Montreal agency, launched around 2019, that turns content from nano and micro creators into ad inventory for TikTok, Meta and Snapchat.

It reports shipping more than 300 assets a month for Hopper, and names HelloFresh, Bumble and New Balance among clients.
Notable clients
- 7-Eleven
- HelloFresh
- Square
- Bumble
- Nestle
- Nordstrom
Watch out
It is less suited to prestige campaigns needing celebrity names, and not every logo links to a case study.
#4Best for full-funnel consumer brands
Power Digital Marketing
Full-funnel growth agency for scaling consumer and lifestyle brands
Power Digital is a San Diego growth agency of roughly 580 people that runs TikTok alongside paid social, search, Amazon, SEO, email and creative.

Clients include Crocs, ASICS, Graza and Gorjana.
Notable clients
- Alice + Olivia
- Aviator Nation
- ASICS
- Crocs

It reports 69.2M views from an Uber programme and appeared on Adweek's 2026 fastest-growing agencies list.
Notable clients
- Amazon
- Samsung
- Uber
- Walmart
- Zillow
Watch out
Projects start at $25,000, and large-shop structure means less founder attention per account.
#6Best UK TikTok agency for ecommerce

Notable clients
- Mercedes-Benz
- Aston Martin F1 Team
- Tim Hortons

Watch out
Results are agency-reported, and it is a weak fit for B2B or lead generation.
#7Best for TikTok ads with landing page testing
Webistry
Montreal growth shop for paid search, paid social and landing page testing
Webistry is a Montreal performance agency, founded in 2012, that runs TikTok and Meta campaigns alongside Google, then builds and split-tests the landing pages and funnels the traffic lands on.

Notable clients
- Häagen-Dazs
- Old El Paso
- Betty Crocker
- Kumon
- Tiger Mist
- Natio
Watch out
The rating rests on few reviews, and its broad remit means TikTok depth should be tested.
#9Best budget TikTok marketing agency
SOUP Agency
Senior-led Sydney CBD agency mixing paid search, paid social, SEO and Klaviyo
SOUP Agency is a Sydney team founded in 2018 by Katya Vakulenko that holds TikTok, Meta and Google partner badges and runs paid social on TikTok, Meta and Pinterest alongside organic social, influencer sourcing and Klaviyo email.

Watch out
With 2 to 9 people, it lacks capacity for large multi-market campaigns.

How much does a TikTok marketing agency cost in 2026?

How we chose the best TikTok marketing agencies
We assessed all 21 TikTok marketing agencies in the MakeSuccessOnline directory against six criteria. The pool is small and several agencies treat TikTok as one channel among many, so we weighted proven TikTok work heavily.

How to choose a TikTok marketing agency
- Pick your TikTok goalPaid ads, TikTok Shop sales, creator campaigns and organic growth need different teams. Choose the one that matters most this year.
- Ask about creative supplyFind out how many new videos the agency will deliver each month and whether they come from in-house editors, UGC creators or both.
- Watch their recent workAsk for live TikTok ads from the last three months. They should look native to the feed, not like repurposed TV spots.
- Check measurementConfirm how the agency will link TikTok to sales, including the TikTok Pixel, Events API and any holdout or incrementality tests.
- Clarify creator costsCreator fees, usage rights and product seeding are often billed on top. Get them itemised before you sign.
- Agree rights and ownershipMake sure your business owns the ad account and has clear usage rights to all creator content.
Questions to ask
- How many new TikTok creatives will we get each month, and who produces them?
- Can you show TikTok ads you have run in the last quarter for brands like ours?
- Have you run TikTok Shop, and what results can you share?
- How do you measure TikTok's impact on total sales, not just in-app conversions?
- Who pays creators, and what usage rights do we get for their content?
- How do you decide when a creative is fatigued and needs replacing?
Red flags
- Polished brand videos repurposed from other channels as the main ad creative.
- No plan for weekly or fortnightly creative refreshes.
- Success measured on views or followers when the goal is sales.
- Creator fees and usage rights left vague in the proposal.
- No TikTok-specific case studies, only Meta or Google results.

What does a TikTok marketing agency do?
A TikTok marketing agency is a company that grows a brand's sales or audience on TikTok through paid ads, creator content and, increasingly, TikTok Shop. Typical work includes producing native-style video and UGC, sourcing and managing creators, running and optimising TikTok ad campaigns, setting up the TikTok Pixel and product catalogue, and reporting on sales. Many TikTok agencies also run Meta, Pinterest or Snapchat so short-form creative can be reused across platforms.
TikTok marketing agency FAQ
What is the best TikTok marketing agency in 2026?
The best TikTok marketing agency depends on whether you need ads, creators or TikTok Shop. Favoured is our top pick for TikTok ads on DTC budgets, Common Thread Collective for TikTok Shop and profit-led scaling, inBeat for UGC, Power Digital for full-funnel consumer brands and Viral Nation for enterprise creator programmes.
How much does a TikTok marketing agency cost?
TikTok marketing agencies typically charge $1,000 to $10,000 or more a month, plus ad spend and creator fees. Across the 21 TikTok marketing agencies we track, the median minimum is $5,000 a month, 38% start under $1,000, and the North American median is $10,000 against $1,000 in Asia-Pacific.
How long does it take to see results from TikTok ads?
Expect early signals within two to four weeks as the first creatives run, and more dependable results after two to three months of testing. TikTok creative tires quickly, so performance depends on the agency supplying new videos steadily. TikTok Shop and creator programmes often take longer to build momentum.
How do I choose a TikTok marketing agency?
Choose a TikTok marketing agency with recent TikTok-specific results for brands like yours, a clear plan for creative volume and honest measurement. Ask to see live ads, check whether creator fees are included, and confirm that you own the ad account and have usage rights to the content.
What is TikTok Shop and do agencies manage it?
TikTok Shop lets users buy products inside the TikTok app through videos, livestreams and a shop tab. Some agencies manage it end to end, including product listings, affiliate creators and Shop ads. Common Thread Collective, inBeat and Power Digital, through its acquisition of uptickk, all list TikTok Shop work.
Is TikTok marketing worth it for B2B brands?
TikTok marketing is mainly a fit for consumer, DTC and app brands, which make up most of the client lists on this page. Some B2B companies use it for employer branding or reaching younger buyers, but most B2B teams get more pipeline from LinkedIn and Google. Test with a small budget first.
Do TikTok agencies use influencers or make their own videos?
Most do both. Creator-led agencies such as inBeat and Viral Nation source influencers and UGC creators, while performance agencies such as Favoured and Webistry also produce video in-house. A good agency mixes creator content with edited ad variants so it can test many hooks without relying on one person.
How is AI changing TikTok marketing in 2026?
TikTok's automated campaign tools now handle more targeting and bidding, so creative testing and measurement matter more than manual set-up. Agencies also use AI for creator discovery and analytics, as with Viral Nation's SocialAI. Of the TikTok marketing agencies we track, 52% offer AI search services, reflecting how buyers now research brands.
