What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Social media marketing, short-form video and film production form the core of the work described by clients of Shaka Social, whose projects span retail brands, an independent publishing outfit and an education team. More than one review highlights the clarity of monthly reporting, which keeps clients informed throughout a campaign, and the readiness of the team to explain the thinking behind organic posts and paid advertising.

Named members of staff, among them Ali, Grant, Finn and Kat, are singled out for being approachable, knowledgeable and hands-on, whether running content shoots, delivering social media training or adapting video clips for individual platforms. A theme running through the feedback is the flexible and honest manner of working, with ideas discussed openly and strategies shaped around the needs of the business rather than a fixed template.

Growth in audience and engagement on Instagram is a common outcome, alongside the impression that nothing is too much trouble, from grasping a brief quickly to answering questions long after a project has finished. Feedback gathered across these engagements points to dependable delivery and thoughtful advice, with several clients expressing enthusiasm for future campaigns covering paid ads and organic content. Quick-turnaround briefs were met to a high standard.

We asked the Shaka Social team to deliver social media training for our education team. The sessions were well-pitched in being responsive to the room, providing rich content, and were led by people who clearly know their stuff. The feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive, and the conversations it sparked haven't stopped. Highly recommend!

We’ve had an amazing experience working with Shaka Social. Ali and the entire team have been incredibly professional and hands-on from day one. Within a short space of time, we’ve already started seeing strong, positive results. The level of effort they put into their work really shows. Shaka have made content shoots an absolute breeze, the paid ads & organic team are extremely knowledgeable & always offering great advice. Really looking forward to continuing to work with Shaka Social throughout the year and can’t recommend them highly enough.

I'm yet to meet an agency who blend both the creative aspect of marketing with performance so well - the team at Shaka Social truly deliver stand out content that drives the numbers for businesses. On top of this every single team member is friendly, approachable and great to work with. The team at Shaka have worked with a number of our clients now and we fully recommend them to anyone looking to take their business to the next level online.

We have worked with Shaka for a while now across a couple of our brands. No agency comes close to them for how they blend creative and performance, two areas that can quite often become disconnected they piece together perfectly thanks to their creative and performance teams being in a constant feedback loop. Everyone on the Shaka team is super easy to work with and take edits in their stride whilst offering their own highly valuable insights. Couldn't recommend more!

We have worked with the team at Shaka Social on a few occasions and have always been delighted with the quality of their work. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and they had a good grasp of the brief resulting in a great final product.

I absolutely love working with the Shaka Social team, I’m a freelance camera & drone operator and I work with them on a regular basis and every shoot is a pleasure to be a part of! They truly are top notch in their niche and it’s always so great to work with them and to witness the lovely relationships they have with their clients.
