We Are Social review

Elite global socially-led creative agency (1,300 people, adidas/Samsung/Netflix/Google), strong for enterprise brand-led social, but enterprise-only, no pipeline focus, and low employee sentiment (Glassdoor ~2.9 comp, cliquey/cronyism complaints).

No published price we can link to. We do not estimate one — ask on the call, and see the pricing-transparency line in the scores below.

Verdict

We Are Social is a top global socially-led creative agency (1,300+ people across 19 offices) doing culturally-led work for the biggest brands (adidas, Samsung, Netflix, Google). For enterprise brand-led social it's genuinely elite. But it's off-fit for the rubric's growth-stage target: it serves global enterprise brands (no accessible pricing or pipeline orientation surfaced), and employee reviews are a concern, low compensation (2.9), only ~49% would recommend, and complaints of long hours, cliquey culture, and promotion by cronyism, which can translate to churn and inconsistent delivery. Reserve for enterprise brand campaigns, not lean B2B/growth-stage social.
