What we believe
How Social Agencies works
-
One team
The website, the software and the ads come from one team, so every part is built to work with the others and nothing gets lost between suppliers.
-
You own everything
Domains, hosting, code, data and ad accounts sit in your name from day one. If we ever part ways, the business keeps all of it.
-
Show the work
Every project Social Agencies shows is live and linked. You can open it, use it and judge it before you ever pick up the phone.
-
Honest reporting
Plain numbers on what was spent, what came in and what it cost. No promised results, and no page of figures that means nothing to you.
Our story
How did Social Agencies start?
Social Agencies was founded in 2026 in Cape Town, by James Hoare and Jared. James leads the build: the websites, the software and the systems behind them. Jared leads the client side and the growth of the business.
The work grew from websites into the systems behind them. Dart Motors now runs its website, self-updating stock feed, lead inbox, finance software and ads from Social Agencies, and BlitzBooks, our own quoting and invoicing app for trades, is live and in daily use.

It was an absolute pleasure working with James. He created an amazing website for us, maintained clear communication throughout the process, and ensured that all of our needs were met. He was professional, easy to work with, and delivered exactly what he promised. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for website design or advertising services.
This young dynamic company has really impressed me with my requirements on a complete website design/development. Highly recommended.
I had an absolutely outstanding experience with Social Agencies for the web design and marketing support of my business. Jarred was incredibly professional, attentive, and patient throughout the entire process. … The final result exceeded all my expectations: the website is more beautiful and functional than I could have ever imagined.
Great service, thank you for your help with Dr van der Poel's website.
