The best Instagram ads agencies in 2026 treat Reels, Stories and Feed as separate placements with their own creative, rather than running one Meta campaign and hoping Instagram picks it up.
We ranked the ten agencies below on whether they publish a dedicated Instagram ads service, how they produce and test vertical video, how they track results with the Meta Pixel and Conversions API, and what they disclose about pricing and clients.
Instagram ads are bought through Meta’s Ads Manager, so every agency here can also run Facebook. The difference is focus: these firms describe Instagram-specific formats, creative processes and reporting by placement. For agencies chosen on wider Meta platform depth, see our Top Meta Ads Agencies In 2026 list.

Admiral Media is a Dubai-headquartered performance agency founded in 2019, with a remote team across more than 15 countries and official partner status with Meta. Its Instagram ads page is unusually specific about how it builds for each placement: 9:16 vertical video that opens with a hook, captions for sound-off viewing, and text kept clear of the app’s on-screen interface.
Creator content is the core of its Instagram work. The agency briefs creators, cuts their footage into several hooks and lengths, and tests each version as an ad, with partnership ads running from the creator’s own handle when that performs better. Results are reported by placement across Reels, Stories, Feed and Explore. Measurement combines the Meta Pixel and Conversions API with deduplicated events, plus a mobile measurement partner and SKAN for iOS app clients.
What stands out:
Best for: Subscription apps and ecommerce brands that want creator-led Reels at testing volume.
Pricing: Monthly retainer or a percentage of ad spend, quoted after a first call. Figures are not published.
Click Click Media is an Australian-owned agency based in Norwest, New South Wales, that says it has worked in digital marketing since 2008 and is a Google Premier Partner. Its Instagram ads page gives Reels top priority and argues that every placement needs its own creative, so Reels, Feed and Stories each get separate ad sets.
The agency publishes a 12-week plan. The first two weeks cover a creative audit and format strategy, weeks three and four are a production sprint of 8 to 15 Reels variants, and from week five new Reels go out weekly, with the first two seconds of each reviewed for thumb-stop rate. Tracking runs on the Meta Pixel and Conversions API. For fragrance retailer Dupe Spot, it reports 4.39x ROAS across Meta in the fourth quarter of 2025.
What stands out:
Best for: Australian small and mid-sized businesses that want a predictable Reels production rhythm.
Pricing: Management fees from AU$1,200 per month, with media budgets from about AU$2,000 per month, excluding GST.
The Influence Agency is headquartered on Sterling Road in Toronto and holds Meta Business Partner status. Its Instagram advertising service covers image, carousel, collection, video, shopping, Stories, Explore and Reels ads, and its process often starts with influencer marketing before moving into paid campaigns.
That influencer-first sequence is its distinguishing point. The agency produces branded content such as sponsored Stories and influencer takeovers, then uses paid Instagram campaigns and retargeting to reach people who engaged but did not convert. Brand logos on the page include Puma, New Balance, Warner Music and Canadian Tire. Pricing is published: management starts at $2,000 a month for up to $10,000 in ad spend, then becomes the greater of $2,000 or 15% of spend.
What stands out:
Best for: Consumer brands in Canada and the US that want influencer content and Instagram ads run together.
Pricing: From $2,000 per month for up to $10,000 in ad spend, then the greater of $2,000 or 15% of spend. Creative such as Reels and Stories is priced separately.
SOUP Agency has offices in Sydney, Fortitude Valley in Brisbane, and Melbourne, and is a badged Meta Business Partner and Google Partner. It says it has grown more than 200 brands since 2019, with names including BMW, inDrive and Segway.
Its Instagram ads service plans Reels and Stories inside the same Meta campaign structure as Feed placements, with creative built in-house for how people actually watch on each surface. New clients follow a 90-day plan: audit and tracking fixes first, including Meta Pixel and Conversions API setup, then a structured creative test, then scaling what works. Reporting centers on cost per lead, ROAS and revenue, and the agency publishes Australian benchmark ranges for CPM, CPC and cost per lead.
What stands out:
Best for: Australian brands that want a staged plan rather than an immediate spend increase.
Pricing: Management fee on top of media spend, not published. The agency cites typical SMB media budgets of AU$2,000 to AU$5,000 per month.
Passion Digital is based at Holborn Tower in London and offers a dedicated Instagram advertising service covering Reels, Stories, video, carousel, collection, lead and Messenger ads. It has won at the UK Paid Media Awards and the BIMA Awards.
Its Instagram work stands out on shopping. The agency sets up Instagram shops end to end, from product tagging in photos and videos through to checkout, so users can buy without leaving the app, then supports those shops with paid campaigns. Strategy, budget, targeting and format choice are managed in-house, with content creation delivered through a partner network. Named clients include Knight Frank, Mazda and Nutanix.
What stands out:
Best for: UK retailers and property brands that want Instagram Shopping and paid ads managed together.

In-house video editors, graphic designers and certified media buyers are included in the fee, and every tier includes a set number of videos per month, from one at the entry level to eight at the top. Onboarding takes the first seven days, with weekly or biweekly calls and a monthly custom report after that. The fee table is public, which is rare among Instagram specialists.
What stands out:
Best for: Brands spending at least $10,000 a month that want clear Instagram pricing up front.

The service links influencer work directly to paid media. SevenAtoms finds and vets influencers, handles contracts and content approvals, then puts that content behind paid Instagram campaigns. Ongoing A/B testing covers creative, copy, calls to action and targeting. Its featured ecommerce client, Seal Skin Covers, grew revenue from $2M to $26M over more than seven years of work with the agency.

Organic Instagram account management is available as a separate service for brands that want both handled together. Published Instagram clients include Australian home decor retailer Cassa Vida, supplement brand NovaFerrum and SaaS platform SEO Site Checkup, and the agency reports a combined average Instagram ROAS of about 6.8x for 2024.

An Instagram ads agency should show you how it creates for each placement and how fast it can refresh creative. Use these questions to compare proposals.
Reels and Stories are full-screen vertical placements, and creative cropped from a square feed post usually underperforms there. Ask whether the agency makes placement-specific assets and reports results by placement. Agencies such as Click Click Media and Admiral Media say this openly.
Instagram ad performance fades as audiences tire of the same video. Ask how many new Reels the agency produces per month, who shoots them, and how winning hooks are identified. If you need a dedicated creative partner, our Top UGC And Performance Creative Agencies In 2026 list covers specialist studios.
Partnership ads run from a creator’s handle and often feel more native than brand posts. Ask whether the agency handles creator sourcing, usage rights and ad permissions, or expects you to arrange them.
Several agencies on this list publish their fees, which makes comparison easier. Factor in creative production, which is sometimes billed separately, and media spend. Our guide to managing Facebook ads costs applies equally to Instagram, since both are bought in Ads Manager.
If your audience also lives on TikTok or Pinterest, a multi-platform partner may make more sense. Compare these firms with our Top Paid Social Agencies In 2026 list, or browse everything in the Paid Social Advertising Hub.
The top Instagram ads agencies in 2026 earn their place through placement-specific creative and a steady supply of new Reels, not general social media management. Admiral Media is the pick for apps and ecommerce brands that want creator footage turned into tested Reels and partnership ads, Click Click Media suits Australian businesses that want a weekly Reels pipeline at a published price, The Influence Agency is the best fit for brands that want influencers and Instagram ads run together, and Passion Digital is the strongest choice for UK retailers building on Instagram Shopping. Ask each shortlisted agency to show Reels it has produced and results broken out by placement.
