Data before content

We don't open a camera until we understand your audience, your competitive landscape, and what content formats actually drive results in your industry. Every post has a strategic reason to exist. Social media without strategy is just noise.

Research-led

In-house production studio

Professional cameras, studio lighting, and video editing all under our roof in Pretoria. No waiting on external photographers. No briefing strangers on your brand. Content shoots booked within 48 hours. Average turnaround: 48-72 hours from shoot to delivery.

Fully in-house

Platform specialists, not generalists

Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn: each platform has its own algorithm, content format, and audience behaviour. We have dedicated specialists per platform who know the rules, the trends, and what works. You get Cobus and Wynand, not an intern managing 40 accounts.

Budget and platform guide

What social media marketing costs in South Africa

Agency quotes in South Africa range from about R2,000 a month for basic two-platform posting to R30,000 or more for a full programme with content production and paid campaigns. Production and ad spend are normally budgeted on top of the management fee.

Ad spend is separate and goes straight to the platforms. Prices exclude VAT. See the full pricing page or request a quote.

Which platform should you start with?

Start with the one platform where your buyers already spend time, and add a second only when the first runs consistently. This is our recommendation from managing accounts across these sectors, not a platform ranking.

Four questions to ask any social media agency

  1. What follower base did your best result start from? A 320% rise from 500 followers is not the same as from 50,000.
  2. Which number do you report that links to revenue, such as leads or sales from social?
  3. Who creates the content, and who answers the comments?
  4. What is excluded from the fee: production, ad spend, influencer fees?

Frequently asked questions

Got questions?

Straight answers about social media marketing in Pretoria. No jargon, no runaround.

What does a social media marketing agency do?

A social media marketing agency plans, creates and manages content across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and LinkedIn, runs paid social campaigns, and handles community engagement and reporting. As a Pretoria social media marketing agency, Juicy Designs combines organic content, paid advertising and strategy under one in-house team, so your brand stays consistent and the results are measurable. Packages start from R5,000 per month with no long-term contracts.

Which social media platforms should my business be on?

It depends on your audience and goals. Instagram works best for lifestyle, fashion, food, and B2C brands. TikTok for younger demographics and entertainment-led content. Facebook for community building, events, and older demographics. LinkedIn for B2B and professional services. We do a platform audit and recommend which channels will generate the most ROI for your specific business. Most businesses should start with one or two platforms and do them well before expanding.

How often should we post on social media?

Quality beats quantity every time. Our recommendations: daily on TikTok, 3-5 times weekly on Instagram (mix of Reels, carousels, and stories), 2-3 times weekly on Facebook, 1-2 times weekly on LinkedIn. Consistency matters more than volume a reliable posting schedule that your audience can count on outperforms random high-frequency bursts every time.

Do you manage paid social media campaigns?

Yes. We manage paid campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn including audience research and lookalike targeting, creative production (images and video), A/B testing, conversion pixel setup, bid management, and daily optimisation for ROAS. We track actual conversions and revenue, not just clicks and impressions. Paid social management is included in Growth and Enterprise packages, or available standalone from R8,000/month (plus ad spend). See our pricing page for details.

How do you measure social media success?

We track follower growth, engagement rate, reach, impressions, website traffic from social channels, leads generated, and revenue attributable to social. Monthly reports include month-on-month comparisons, platform benchmarks, and content performance breakdowns. For paid campaigns we track ROAS, CPC, CTR, and conversion rate. You get a live dashboard you can access anytime. No vanity metrics, only numbers that move your business forward.

Do you produce social media content in-house?

Yes. We have a professional studio setup with cameras, lighting, and full editing capability. Photography, short-form video (Reels, TikToks), motion graphics, carousels, and story templates all produced by our Pretoria team. No outsourcing to freelancers or external photographers. This means faster turnarounds (48-72 hours from shoot to delivery), consistent brand voice, and zero briefing friction. Monthly content shoot packages available for brands wanting regular in-studio production.

What is included in social media management, and what does it cost?

Social media management starts from R6,000 a month for two platforms with a content calendar, scheduling, community management and monthly reporting. The Growth tier is R15,000 a month and adds paid social and Google Ads management, weekly reporting and a monthly strategy call. Premium is R25,000 a month for full-funnel work across all platforms. See our full pricing page or request a custom quote for your specific needs.

Do you manage influencer partnerships for social media campaigns?

Yes. We identify, vet, negotiate, and manage relationships with nano to macro influencers. We match influencers to your funnel stage: awareness campaigns use macro influencers for reach, conversion campaigns use nano and micro influencers for high engagement and trust. We handle all briefing, content approval, posting coordination, and ROI tracking. Every influencer partnership includes clear deliverables and measurement. Influencer campaign management from R12,000 per campaign (plus influencer fees).
