The best Facebook ads agency for you is the one that has already published Meta results like the ones you need.
On that test, we found seven: The Moonlighters and MHI Media both have results in our own archive, and inBeat has a Meta case study we track too.
Pilothouse, Common Thread Collective, Hawke Media and MuteSix publish detailed Meta case studies on their own sites.
How we picked: we started with agencies whose work appears in the ROASArchive database.
We then added agencies that publish Meta case studies with real numbers on their own sites, and we checked each one there.
We have not hired any of them, and nobody paid to be listed.

The 7 Facebook ads agencies, with their database results
Each entry lists where the agency is based, what it does, one public case study, and any results it has in our archive.
To see every Meta test we hold, browse the Meta results in the database.
1. The Moonlighters
Based in: North America, with team members in the UK, according to its site.
What they do: Sam Piliero founded The Moonlighters, an agency that runs Meta and Google ads for ecommerce brands.
Its site says it works with 100+ six-, seven- and eight-figure DTC brands and has no junior staff on accounts.
Known for: Scaling Meta for ecommerce brands. Its Glamsquad case study claims a 191% ROAS increase in two weeks, and its Young Nails case study describes growing from $180K to $1M in monthly ad revenue. Both are agency-reported.
Results in our archive: Sam Piliero posts more Meta account results than anyone else in our database (see the full list).
In one, which Sam Piliero shared from a community member's post, cutting a product's price by €10 with the same ads and budget dropped cost per purchase by 45%.
In another, 20 new angles in a tired account took CPA from $101.29 to $60.50. Sam Piliero also posted a client's incremental ROAS of 3.01x over the trailing 12 months.
Best for: DTC brands already doing seven figures that want one team on both Meta and Google.
It is not a fit if you sell B2B or don't have an ecommerce store.
2. MHI Media
Based in: Bristol, UK, according to its Built In profile.
It works with DTC brands in the UK and US.
What they do: Kamal Razzak founded MHI Media, which calls itself a performance creative agency for ecommerce.
It makes ads and runs paid social for brands in supplements, beauty, fashion, wellness and CPG.
Known for: Founder-led creative. In a newsletter case study, the agency describes a selfie video a founder filmed in a car beating polished UGC and studio ads.
Its homepage also says it took Ripley Rader from $6,714 a month to $1M a month (agency-reported).
Results in our archive: The founder car-selfie video cut CPA by 62%. More on the MHI Media source page.
Best for: Ecommerce brands whose bottleneck is creative, not media buying, and whose founder is willing to get on camera.
It is not a fit if you need search or B2B lead gen.
3. inBeat
Based in: Canada, with several office locations listed on its site.
What they do: inBeat runs creator and influencer programs, UGC production, performance creative and paid media on Meta, TikTok, Google and Snapchat.
It works across ecommerce, mobile apps, healthcare, CPG and B2B.
Known for: Pairing creator content with paid media.
In its Hurom case study, the juicer brand switched from discount-heavy ads to creator videos about health benefits.
Results in our archive: In that Hurom work, health-benefit creator videos replaced discount messaging, and inBeat reports CPA fell 65% while ROAS rose 300%. See the inBeat source page.
Best for: Brands with ad fatigue that need a steady supply of creator ads plus someone to buy media.
If you only want media buying and already have creative, a narrower shop may cost less.
4. Pilothouse
Based in: Victoria, BC, Canada, per its site.
What they do: Pilothouse is a full-funnel performance agency for DTC brands.
It covers Meta, Google, TikTok, Amazon and YouTube buying, plus creative, email and SMS, landing pages and CRO.
Known for: Integrated DTC growth. In its RUX case study, Pilothouse reports ROAS rising from 1.45 to 3.06 and CPA falling from $148 to $111 over three months, with a 6.47 ROAS during Black Friday week (agency-reported).
Results in our archive: None yet. Its case study library lists over a dozen Meta-related projects.
Best for: Established DTC brands that want media, creative and retention handled by one team.
It is not a fit for very early brands that only need a few hundred dollars a day managed.
5. Common Thread Collective
Based in: Costa Mesa, California, per its site.
What they do: CTC calls itself an ecommerce "profit partner."
It buys Meta and Google ads, produces creative and measures incrementality, all run through its Prophit Engine planning system and a dedicated "Prophit Engineer."
Known for: Judging ads on contribution margin, not platform ROAS.
Its case study page includes a paid social project for '47 Brand that it says grew sales by 4,000% (agency-reported).
Results in our archive: None yet.
Best for: CTC says its Meta service is for ecommerce brands spending $100K+ a month on Meta.
Below that, it is likely not the right fit.
6. Hawke Media
Based in: Offices in Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, per its site.
What they do: Hawke Media is a full-service agency sold as an "Outsourced CMO."
Paid social is one of 20+ services, alongside search, SEO, content, email, Amazon and affiliate.
Known for: Its K-Swiss case study: Hawke reports a 485% overall ROAS on Facebook, with 900% ROAS on a one-day Ghostbusters collection sale, after targeting movie fans instead of sneakerheads.
Results in our archive: None yet.
Best for: Brands that want Meta handled inside a wider marketing team.
If you want a Meta-only specialist, a focused shop may go deeper.
7. MuteSix
Based in: Los Angeles. Dentsu acquired MuteSix in 2019.
What they do: MuteSix offers paid social, retail media, paid search, programmatic, marketing science, lifecycle marketing and creative for DTC brands.
Known for: High-volume DTC paid social. In its own K-Swiss case study, MuteSix reports $75,000 in Facebook spend returning $725,000 (9.63 ROAS) over three months, with CPA down 80% (agency-reported).
Results in our archive: None yet.
Best for: Larger DTC brands that want the resources of a holding-company agency.
Smaller brands may get less senior attention than at a boutique.
Two agencies publishing K-Swiss Facebook results at different times shows why you should ask exactly which campaigns, dates and team a case study covers.
Which Facebook ads agency fits your store size and vertical
Early-stage stores (under seven figures)
Most of these agencies are built for brands that are already selling.
If you are still testing products, a solo media buyer may suit you better.
Early tests can be cheap: @EcomRedneck spent $100 and made $410 in sales on day one.
That is one day from one campaign, and results like this vary and are not typical.
Seven-figure DTC brands
The Moonlighters and MHI Media are aimed at this stage.
Pick The Moonlighters if you need Meta and Google together, and MHI Media if creative is what's holding you back.
Eight figures and up
Common Thread Collective (at $100K+ a month on Meta), Pilothouse and MuteSix have the teams for big spend across several channels.
By vertical
For beauty and wellness, look at The Moonlighters (Glamsquad, Young Nails) and MHI Media.
For home and kitchen brands that need creator ads, inBeat's Hurom work fits.
For apparel and footwear, Hawke Media and MuteSix both published K-Swiss results.
For ecommerce-only options across channels, see our ecommerce ads agencies list.
Facebook ads agency pricing models
None of the seven agencies lists prices on its site.
All of them ask you to book a call.
Pilothouse says its pricing combines monthly retainers, performance-based incentives and custom project scopes, which is a common structure.
The models you will usually see:
- Flat monthly retainer: a fixed fee for management, predictable but not tied to results.
- Percentage of ad spend: the fee grows as you scale, which can reward spending more instead of spending well.
- Hybrid: a base fee plus a percentage above a spend threshold.
- Performance bonus: extra pay when agreed targets are hit. Make sure the target is measured on your own revenue, not platform-reported ROAS.
Creative is often billed separately, so ask whether ad production is included.
For typical ranges by model, see our guide to agency pricing.
Questions to ask before you hire a Facebook ads agency
A case study is a sales document. These questions test whether the results will carry over to your account.
Our full guide on how to choose an agency goes deeper.
- Who will run my account? Get the name and experience of the actual buyer, not the founder on the sales call.
- Can I see a case study from a brand my size, in my vertical? A result at $250K a month says little about $20K a month.
- How do you measure success? Look for blended or incremental numbers, like the 3.01x iROAS Sam Piliero shared, not just in-platform ROAS.
- How much new creative will you ship each month, and who makes it? Fresh angles drive many of the wins in our archive.
- What happens in the first 30 days? Ask for an audit plan, and what they will change first and why.
- Do I own the ad account, pixel and creative? The answer should be yes.
- What are the contract length and notice period? Shorter terms keep the agency accountable.
A good agency switch can show up fast.
@runtraffic reported November sales up 63% year over year after taking over a brand's Google and Facebook ads, though the post says Facebook barely ran and doesn't show spend or what changed.
What to look for in a Facebook ads agency
- Published, specific results: numbers with dates, spend and metrics, not just logos.
- Fit with your stage: the brands in their case studies should be about your size.
- Creative capacity: either in-house production or a clear plan for where new ads come from.
- Honest measurement: reporting tied to your store revenue and margin.
- Named senior people on your account: not a rotating junior team.
- Clean ownership: you keep the ad account, data and assets if you leave.
- Clear pricing: you know what is in the fee and what is billed extra.
