MONTHLY PACKAGES

Monthly fees at a glance.

Package fees are monthly and excl. VAT; no Turkish VAT for clients outside Türkiye. Packages are a starting framework; channels, content volume and production depth are adjusted to each brand. Our social media page covers the scope in detail.

STARTER

£290 · €340 /month

excl. VAT · 3-month minimum

A steady production base that builds a consistent publishing rhythm.

  • Community management: 1 check a day, reply within 8 hours
  • Monthly performance report with GA4 + UTM

Ad management is not included — it can be added with the £210 · €250/month add-on (≤£1,000 · €1,200 monthly ad budget). That brings the total to £500 · €590/month; if you are considering ad management, Growth (£490 · €570) is both better value and more comprehensive.

NOT INCLUDED IN THE PRICE

Your fee and your ad budget are two different things.

The amounts shown are Mars Creative's agency service fee. Ad spend is not included; you pay it directly to Meta and LinkedIn from your own account, and you always own the ad account.

01 · SERVICE FEE

Paid to Mars Creative

Strategy, content production, shooting & editing, community management, ad setup and reporting. A fixed monthly amount, excl. VAT.

02 · AD BUDGET

Paid to the platform — from your account

You pay Meta and LinkedIn directly. The account, pixel and data stay with you; if we part ways, no assets stay with us.

We do not take a percentage commission.

Our fee does not rise automatically when your budget grows. A fixed management fee is added only when you go above the ceiling covered by your package (+£90 · €105/month for ad budgets up to £2,500 · €3,000, +£190 · €220/month for ad budgets up to £6,000 · €7,000; excl. VAT). Example: Growth covers up to £1,000 · €1,200; if you want to work with a budget of up to £2,500 · €3,000, it is +£90 · €105 a month. Corporate covers up to £1,500 · €1,750. If you are planning the ads side in more depth, our Google Ads service is worth a look too.

PACKAGE COMPARISON

Packages: what is included?

Shooting and editing have their own row in the table — because that is what the lower end of the market most often leaves out. Each package includes the scope of the one below; the rows show what differs.

THE RIGHT PACKAGE

Which package suits you?

No single package fits everyone — your number of channels, content volume and ad needs change the right scope. The matching below helps you find a starting point; we set the exact scope after we meet and talk through your goals.

Starter

£290 · €340 /month

WHO IT SUITS

Brands that want a regular publishing rhythm on social media, starting with two channels — when making organic production consistent is the top priority.

WHEN IT IS NOT ENOUGH

If you need ad management: with the add-on the total is £500 · €590/month, which is more than Growth (£490 · €570) — and Growth is more comprehensive.

Growth · Recommended

£490 · €570 /month

WHO IT SUITS

Brands that want organic production and ad management under one roof — those who need three channels, deeper production and a 4-hour response commitment.

WHEN IT IS NOT ENOUGH

If you need four or five channels, a monthly shoot day or a dedicated account manager, the scope is too narrow.

Corporate

£790 · €920 /month

WHO IT SUITS

Multi-channel, production-heavy brands that want channel-level conversion attribution — those who need a full-day shoot every month and a dedicated account manager.

WHEN IT IS NOT ENOUGH

If you are working with one or two channels, this scope may be more than you need; for unlimited channels and multilingual publishing, you move to the Custom tier.

AN HONEST COMPARISON

Why is a low-cost offer not the same job as ours from £290 · €340?

On freelance marketplaces you will see monthly offers across a wide range of low prices. Most of these listings are genuine — but what they sell is different. What is sold at a low price is usually "getting posts published"; what we sell is production, a moderation commitment and measurement. The difference is not room to haggle; it is a difference in scope.

These three items show where the money goes:

01 / 03

Template content vs planned production

TYPICAL AT A LOW BUDGET

A logo is dropped into a ready-made template and the feed is filled with stock images; every brand looks alike.

HOW WE DO IT

Brand voice and visual language are defined first; the content calendar is built around them and fed by shooting and editing.

02 / 03

Occasional checks vs a moderation SLA

TYPICAL AT A LOW BUDGET

Community management often means 'someone looks now and then'; no response time is committed.

HOW WE DO IT

The number of daily checks and the response time are written into the contract — 8 or 4 hours, depending on the package.

03 / 03

Likes report vs conversion measurement

TYPICAL AT A LOW BUDGET

At the end of the month, screenshots of likes and followers are shared; the effect on the business is invisible.

HOW WE DO IT

Platform metrics are linked to GA4 with UTM; traffic to the site and conversions are tracked by channel.

We are not arguing that "cheap is bad". If all you need is a few posts a week going live, a low-budget solution may do the job. But if you expect qualified enquiries from social media, that result does not come without production and measurement.

CHANNEL PRIORITY

For us, LinkedIn is not a cheap extra channel; it is the primary B2B demand channel.

Much of the market prices LinkedIn as "few posts, low effort, cheap channel" — like a box ticked next to Instagram. We do the opposite: for B2B brands, we plan LinkedIn as where demand begins, which is why LinkedIn is in every package and production priority is planned around it.

01

Direct access to decision-makers

The person who makes the buying decision is on LinkedIn under their own name, title and company. No other channel defines the audience this clearly — content speaks directly to that desk.

02

Qualified demand, not broad reach

What works is the right hundred people reading, not a hundred thousand impressions. On LinkedIn, success is measured not by reach but by the sector, title and scale of incoming enquiries.

03

Content that feeds the sales team

Published content is reused in sales conversations: an article that answers an objection, a video telling a client story, a carousel showing the process. Social media becomes sales material.

It is not that we underrate Instagram — that is where we show the brand's face, culture and products. But in B2B, the first touchpoint for someone requesting a quote is usually LinkedIn; our pricing reflects that.

Let's discuss your B2B plan

PRODUCTION

Editing in-house, shooting with our studio network.

This is where the maths of a social media budget gets stuck: a standalone shoot day is a costly item on its own. That is why services that keep the total monthly fee low leave shooting out of scope and fill the feed with stock images and template designs.

With us, shoot days are defined within the package — a half-day onboarding shoot in the first month on Starter, one full day every 3 months on Growth, one full day a month on Corporate. Copy, design, editing and post-production are handled in-house; for product and location shoots we use our professional studio network. If an extra shoot day is needed beyond the scope, it is priced separately according to the project and location.

MONTHLY CONTENT VOLUME AND SHOOT DAYS (BY PACKAGE)

Package fees are monthly and excl. VAT; no Turkish VAT for clients outside Türkiye. Extra shoot days and crisis / peak-period support are priced separately according to the project and location.

ADD-ONS

Out-of-scope items and unit prices.

We do not like surprise invoices. Every item outside the package has a unit price or pricing basis set in advance, and we get your written approval before applying it. All amounts are excl. VAT; no Turkish VAT for clients outside Türkiye.

Channel expansion

  • Extra channel — distribution-focused (X, Pinterest, Google Business Profile) +£69 · €79 /month
  • Extra channel — video-first (TikTok, YouTube) +£139 · €159 /month

Ad management

  • Ad management add-on (≤£1,000 · €1,200 monthly ad budget) £210 · €250 /month
  • Ad budget up to £2,500 · €3,000 (above the ceiling covered by your package) +£90 · €105 /month
  • Ad budget up to £6,000 · €7,000 (above the ceiling covered by your package) +£190 · €220 /month

Production & setup

  • Technical setup (accounts, pixel, UTM, reporting) £390 · €450 one-off
  • Out-of-scope static post £25 · €29 /item
  • Out-of-scope short video £69 · €79 /item
  • Out-of-scope revision £15 · €18 /item
  • Brand voice & visual style guide (included in Corporate) £390 · €450 one-off
  • Extra shoot day Project-specific by location
  • Crisis / peak-period support Project-specific by scope

We do not give a fixed list price for extra shoot days or crisis / peak-period support: team size, duration and location change the amount directly, so these two items are priced according to the project and location. If you are planning search alongside social media, take a look at our SEO package prices — for brands where we run both channels, content production is shared.

WHAT IT DEPENDS ON

Five variables that set the price.

Two brands may not pay the same for the same package. What sets the quote is how these five variables apply to your brand.

01 / 05

Number of channels

Each channel has its own format, rhythm and audience behaviour. Feeding two channels is not the same production load as feeding five — we do not copy and paste across channels.

02 / 05

Monthly content volume

The difference between 12 and 24 posts is not just the count; it doubles the copy, design, shoot planning and approval rounds.

03 / 05

Video & production depth

This is where the cost gap between a feed built on stock images and one fed by the brand's own shoots comes from. The shoot day is the heaviest item in the price.

04 / 05

Community management SLA

One check a day versus three, and a 4-hour rather than 8-hour response commitment, directly change the people time allocated.

05 / 05

Scope of ad management

Is ad management included, on which platforms and up to what budget ceiling? As the budget grows, setup, targeting and reporting go deeper.

2026 CONTEXT

Where do social media management prices stand in 2026?

Marketplace listings offer a wide range of low monthly prices, while the top end of corporate agencies can reach much larger monthly budgets. The gap between the two ends is not price but scope.

Mars Creative sits in the mid-to-upper segment, with production included. Standard packages cost £290–£790 · €340–€920 a month, and Custom scope for unlimited channels and multilingual publishing starts from £1,190 · €1,390. This is the band where shooting and editing are in scope and moderation times are written into the contract. All amounts are excl. VAT.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

What is in the quote?

Every package is made up of these capabilities; their depth is set by the number of channels, content volume and production needs.

Ask a question →

How much does social media management cost per month?

At Mars Creative, monthly packages are £290 · €340 (Starter), £490 · €570 (Growth) and £790 · €920 (Corporate); Custom/Enterprise scope for unlimited channels and multilingual publishing starts from £1,190 · €1,390. All amounts are monthly and excl. VAT; no Turkish VAT for clients outside Türkiye. The price is set by the number of channels, monthly content volume, shooting/editing depth, the community management SLA and the scope of ad management.

Is the ad budget included in the prices?

No. The amounts shown are Mars Creative's agency service fee. Ad spend is not included; you pay it directly to Meta and LinkedIn from your own account, and you always own the ad account. We also do not take a commission as a percentage of your budget — our fee does not rise automatically when your budget grows. A fixed management fee is added only when you go above the ceiling covered by your package: Growth covers up to £1,000 · €1,200, and for a budget of up to £2,500 · €3,000 it is +£90 · €105 a month; Corporate covers up to £1,500 · €1,750.

Why do you start from £290 · €340 when others charge much less?

Because it is not the same job. Low-cost offers usually rely on template content and stock images, give no response-time commitment for community management, and report only on likes. In our packages, shooting and editing are in scope, the number of daily checks and the response time are written into the contract, and performance is measured through traffic and conversions on your site, linked to GA4 with UTM.

Which channels are included, and how much is an extra channel?

Our primary channels are LinkedIn and Instagram; Facebook counts as one channel with Instagram. Starter covers 2 channels, Growth 3 and Corporate 4–5. If you need more, distribution-focused channels (X, Pinterest, Google Business Profile) are added at +£69 · €79 a month and video-first channels (TikTok, YouTube) at +£139 · €159 a month. All amounts are excl. VAT; no Turkish VAT for clients outside Türkiye.

Is video shooting included in the price?

The shoot days within the package scope are included: a half-day onboarding shoot in the first month on Starter, one full day every 3 months on Growth, and one full day a month on Corporate. Editing and post-production are handled by our in-house team. If an extra shoot day is needed beyond the scope, it is priced separately according to the project and location; a single out-of-scope short video is £69 · €79 and a static post £25 · €29.

What is the minimum contract term?

3 months for Starter, 6 months for Growth and 12 months for Corporate. On social media, the first month is mostly spent on setup and settling the brand voice, so we do not recommend shorter commitments. On Growth, a 10% discount applies to annual payment in advance; on Corporate, choosing a 6-month contract instead of 12 raises the monthly fee by 10%.

How much is the ad management add-on?

Meta + LinkedIn ad management is included in Growth and Corporate. On Starter, it is added with a £210 · €250 monthly add-on and covers a monthly ad budget of up to £1,000 · €1,200 — the total then comes to £500 · €590/month, so if you are considering ad management, the Growth package at £490 · €570 is both better value and more comprehensive. Budget tiers are added above the ceiling covered by your package: +£90 · €105 a month for ad budgets up to £2,500 · €3,000, +£190 · €220 a month for ad budgets up to £6,000 · €7,000. Example: Growth covers up to £1,000 · €1,200; for a budget of up to £2,500 · €3,000 it is +£90 · €105 a month. Amounts are excl. VAT; no Turkish VAT for clients outside Türkiye.

Is VAT included in the prices?

No. All amounts on this page are excl. VAT and monthly (except items marked as one-off). Turkish VAT does not apply to clients outside Türkiye. Before the contract, we share the scope and the total amount in writing.
