The Social Shepherd is a social media marketing agency based in Bath. The team is over the moon to have been shortlisted for Social Media Agency of the Year at the Global Agency Awards, months after the company went international.
Jack Shepherd, Co-Founder & Managing Director at The Social Shepherd, says: We’re delighted to be a finalist at the Global Agency Awards for Social Media Agency. After another year of growth, incredible client campaigns and expansion in the US market, we’re keeping our fingers crossed that we can win this award!”
The Social Shepherd team have seen impressive growth these last 5 years, going from a team of 44 to 67 within the last year, as well as moving into a brand-new office to allow further growth, opening in new locations, and surpassing their revenue goals by 50.7%.
In November 2023, the agency announced plans to open an office in New York, as part of its US expansion. In early 2024, 5 founding members moved to offices in central New York and Miami, while looking for talent to join the US team.
“Opening an office in New York and assembling a new team there has been an exhilarating journey for the agency. It’s a testament to our commitment to expanding our footprint and delivering exceptional social media services to clients across the globe. We’re proud of the hard work and dedication our team has put into this endeavor, and being recognized as finalists only fuels our passion to continue innovating and exceeding expectations in the ever-evolving world of social media marketing.” – Maria Sparling, US Managing Partner
The Social Shepherd has also focused on maintaining a strong culture despite the rapid growth, invested in their marketing strategy and launched new departments to support their clients further.
These are not only a testament to everyone’s hard work and dedication but also a chance to social-proof their work and help them expand to new heights. In 2024, The Social Shepherd will be opening a Hub in London to allow further growth in the UK.
“It’s an honour to be shortlisted for this award, and we’re grateful for the recognition of our team’s dedication and hard work. This achievement allows us to reflect on our incredible journey so far and inspires us to continue striving for future possibilities. At the heart of what we do are our people, and what we have achieved while maintaining a strong cultural foundation with our amazing team at The Social Shepherd is nothing short of phenomenal.”
