The agency is fuelled by an unwavering belief in the power of social.
Truffle Social puts its money where its mouth is, so a portion of company profits have been reinvested in proprietary campaigns offering social proof. This led the agency to acquire “celebrity status” and numerous viral moments along the way. Their own campaigns have been fruitful, garnering millions of views instantaneously, proving that their services are highly valuable.
Businesses looking for a one-stop-shop will be more than happy with the full spectrum of services Truffle Social provides, including strategy, social management, paid social, influencer and content creation.

The agency won Best Social Media Campaign in the Marketing & PR Brilliance Awards 2020 for their We Remember video. That video was born out of a desire to inject some positivity and provide closeness amid the chaos of the coronavirus pandemic. It was an unprecedented experience, so The Social Co. wanted to remind people of what’s important.
They released it on all their social media platforms and, before long, the video was picked up by news outlets such as BBC and ITV, as well as ABC’s The View presented by Whoppie Goldberg. The video was also used by the United Nations in their efforts to spread positivity throughout the lockdown.
