Our vision of social media: brand sharing
To become a Love Brand, a brand must share a portion of its message with its communities. User-generated content UGC ) generates, on average, two to three times more engagement than corporate content. That's why at So Bang, on every page we manage or for which we create content, half comes from our in-house production studio in Paris, and the other half from influencers on our platform or from theEmployee & Client Advocacy we design and manage for brands.
User-generated content doesn't mean free rein. Within our social media agency, our creative and social teams design experiences, then give influencers, employees, and clients the freedom to produce their own content—while still guiding, moderating, and controlling it. It's this balance between freedom and control that allows major brands to entrust us with their social media presence.
The founding idea: to build a unique positioning through the Brand Line, to differentiate ourselves from the competition, and to bring it to life with our studio content combined with a maximum of UGC content which generates more engagement.

A social media agency based in Paris
So Bang is based at 23 rue du Mail, in Paris's 2nd arrondissement, a stone's throw from the Sentier district, the Bourse (stock exchange), and the Opéra Garnier. This location is no accident: the 2nd arrondissement boasts a unique concentration of marketing departments, production studios, partner agencies, and content creators. This proximity allows us to quickly organize workshops, studio shoots, and outdoor filming throughout Paris.
For a social media agency in Paris, proximity isn't just a marketing ploy—it's a factor in speed and quality. A brand team meeting us on rue du Mail for a briefing, a creator we brief face-to-face, a rush approval done live rather than via video conference: these efficiency gains are reflected in the final quality of the content and the responsiveness of your communication.
Our Parisian clients regularly call on us for pop-up activations in the city: retail pop-ups, press events, and speaking engagements at events like VivaTech, Paris Retail Week, and Paris Food Forum. For brands based outside of Paris, our method remains the same: a dedicated consulting and strategic planning team, reachable directly at 07 56 88 11 94.

- Consumer goods & retail — Fnac, Skip, Entremont, Ixina
- Food & catering — Hippopotamus

Frequently Asked Questions about Social Media Agencies
What exactly is a social media agency?
A social media agency—also called a social media specialist or social media communication agency—is an agency specializing in strategy, content creation, community management, and media amplification on social networks. It differs from a generalist digital agency by its expertise in the specific codes of each platform (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook) and from an influencer agency by integrating a comprehensive offering around the brand's own accounts, not just partnerships with external creators.
Social media agency, social media specialist, social media communication agency: what are the differences?
These three terms refer to similar realities, but with slight differences in focus. "Social media agency" emphasizes mastery of platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, etc.). "Social media specialist" highlights the vertical expertise of a team entirely dedicated to social media. "Social media communication agency" emphasizes the editorial and branding aspects of the work. So Bang embraces all three positions: we are a native social media agency, a social media specialist, and a social media communication agency.
What is the difference between a social media agency and an influencer agency?
A social media agency manages brand accounts: editorial strategy, content production, community management, and social advertising. An influencer agency orchestrates partnerships with external creators to promote a brand to their communities. So Bang brings both professions together under one roof, enabling the design of integrated campaigns where brand content and influencer messaging reinforce each other.
How much does it cost to have an agency manage your social media accounts?
Budgets vary depending on the scope: number of platforms, content volume, production level (user-generated content alone or with a studio), and inclusion of the media plan. For a consumer goods brand active on 2 to 3 platforms, a complete So Bang campaign typically starts at around €4,000 to €6,000 per month. For ambitious campaigns with a dedicated studio, advocacy programs, and an integrated media plan, budgets are tailored to each project.
Do you have to be based in Paris to work with So Bang?
No. Our agency is based in the 2nd arrondissement of Paris, but we work with brands throughout France and internationally. Most of our management meetings are conducted via video conference, with in-person meetings in Paris or other regions as needed.
On which social media platforms do you operate?
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, Pinterest, YouTube, as well as emerging platforms when they offer strategic value for your target audience, and specific formats such as short podcasts, LinkedIn newsletters, or live streams. The choice of platforms depends on your target audience, objectives, and budget.
How do you measure the ROI of a social media campaign?
We combine three families of indicators: organic performance KPIs (reach, engagement, saves), conversion KPIs (website traffic, leads, sales, promo codes), and brand KPIs (aided awareness, consideration, sentiment). Each monthly report is structured around your business objectives; there are no vanity metrics.
