Top 7 Snapchat Ads agencies in the Nordics for DTC brands in 2026 (Updated July 2026)

Updated July 2026

At a glance

Snapchat occupies a strange position in Nordic marketing. In most of the world it is a niche channel; in Norway, Sweden and Denmark it is a daily habit for a huge share of consumers, especially the under-40 audience most DTC brands are trying to reach. Yet walk through the average Nordic media plan and Snapchat is either missing or running on a leftover budget with leftover creative. That gap between where the audience actually spends time and where advertisers spend money is exactly the kind of inefficiency a DTC brand should be exploiting.

The reason most Snapchat accounts underperform is not the platform. It is that Snapchat gets treated as an afterthought: a Meta campaign duplicated over, square assets stretched vertical, nobody in the room who owns the channel or ships creative made for it. Snapchat rewards native vertical video that feels like it came from a creator, refreshed often enough that the audience never goes numb. That takes a production engine, not a checkbox in an ads manager. As delivery systems get smarter across every platform, the creative itself has become the targeting, and on Snapchat that is truer than anywhere.

The seven agencies below are the ones a Nordic DTC brand would realistically shortlist for the channel, and they approach it in different ways. Some run Snapchat inside a creative-and-buying loop, some come at it from content production, some from measurement, and some from enterprise media planning. Which approach fits depends on the size of your team, your budget and how central young Nordic consumers are to your growth.

The list was compiled from the agencies' own websites and published work, public client rosters, and direct experience running and competing against these programs in the Nordic market. If you want Snapchat treated as a first-class channel rather than a line item, start at the top.

1. Curve.no

Curve.no is a performance marketing agency in Oslo that runs Snapchat as one of four core paid channels, alongside Meta, Google and TikTok, with ad creative produced, tested and bought by the same team.

Best for: Nordic DTC brands spending or scaling toward €15K+/month that want Snapchat run as a first-class channel, fed by the same weekly creative engine as Meta and TikTok, with the agency fee tied to results rather than a fixed retainer.

What stands out: Most agencies feed Snapchat whatever creative is left over after Meta. At Curve.no the channel plugs into the same engine as everything else: 10 new ads ship every week per brand, tested through a fixed method of 10 angles and 12 concepts, including UGC and street interview ads filmed by in-house creators. Those creator-led vertical formats are precisely what Snapchat's feed rewards, so the channel gets native material every week instead of recycled square assets. The pricing model keeps the incentive honest, because the fee follows results. Across 30 partnerships in 2025, 91% of clients saw a bigger bottom line within 45 days. Curve.no manages over 1.5 million EUR in monthly ad spend across 20+ brand partners whose combined annual revenue exceeds 100 million EUR, with server-side tracking and CAPI set up as standard on every account, on Snapchat as on Meta. You can review actual case studies here and read what a partnership looks like week by week.

Pros:

• Snapchat is a core channel, not a bolt-on: the same team that produces the creative buys the media and moves budget between Snapchat, Meta, Google and TikTok on what the accounts are telling them.
• Performance-based pricing: the fee is tied to results, so the agency only earns when the account grows.
• Native vertical creator formats at real volume: 10 new ads per week, including UGC and street interview ads, the material Snapchat's audience actually watches.

Cons:

• Boutique roster kept intentionally small to protect results, so onboarding availability can be tight.
• Channel coverage is Meta, Google, Snapchat and TikTok rather than Amazon or marketplace media, and SEO and email sit outside the core scope.

Pass on Curve.no if: Your logistics cannot keep up with rapid growth in order volume, you prefer running a fixed playbook over testing new angles every week, or your paid budget is under €15K/month.

2. Ecommerce Marketing (ECM)

Ecommerce Marketing, now ECM, is an Oslo agency built at the intersection of strategy, creativity and video production, creating social media content and campaigns across short-form and YouTube formats.

Best for: Brands that want premium short-form video and social content made for young audiences, with paid amplification and influencer partnerships built around it.

What stands out: Production quality and cultural instinct. ECM's young in-house teams genuinely understand what each demographic responds to, which matters enormously on a platform as culture-driven as Snapchat, where an ad that feels like an ad gets skipped in a second. The client list, including names like Dominos, Revolut and Anton Sport, shows the range.

Pros:

• Premium video and content production most performance shops cannot match in-house.
• Young teams with a native feel for the platforms and audiences Snapchat serves.
• Influencer and creator work integrated with the content engine.

Cons:

• Content-led rather than media-buying-led, so the engagement centers on production and social presence.
• Brands wanting the agency fee tied directly to account results will want to discuss the model up front.

Pass on ECM if: Your bottleneck is media buying, budget allocation and conversion math rather than content quality.

3. Media Performance

Media Performance is an Oslo performance marketing agency at St. Hanshaugen combining advisory work with hands-on execution across Google Ads, Meta, SEO, websites and lead generation.

Best for: SMB and mid-size Norwegian advertisers that want a hands-on, ROI-focused partner running their paid media, with the flexibility to extend the program into channels like Snapchat as results justify it.

What stands out: The ROI focus. Media Performance positions itself close to the numbers, pairing strategic advisory with practical execution, which suits companies that want one accountable partner rather than a large agency structure. The hands-on model means the people advising you are the people in the account.

Pros:

• Hands-on and ROI-focused, with advisory and execution from the same small team.
• Well suited to SMB and mid-size advertisers that bigger agencies deprioritize.
• Covers the practical stack around paid media, including websites and lead generation.

Cons:

• Publicly positioned around Google Ads and Meta, so Snapchat depth is something to probe in the pitch.
• Content production is not the core offer, so native vertical creative needs to come from somewhere.

Pass on Media Performance if: You need a large in-house creative team producing native Snapchat content at weekly volume.

4. Vimo Media

Vimo Media is an Oslo creative and advertising agency covering social media marketing, online advertising and content production across video, photo and graphics.

Best for: Brands that want content and paid distribution handled as one job, with media plans and content audits built per audience rather than per platform template.

What stands out: The audience-first planning. Vimo Media builds media plans and content audits around who the brand is talking to, then produces the video, photo and graphic material to match, which is a sensible way to approach a channel like Snapchat where the audience skews young and the creative has to feel native to land.

Pros:

• Video, photo and graphic production in-house, so vertical social creative does not depend on a third party.
• Media plans and content audits tailored per audience.
• Content and paid advertising coordinated by one team.

Cons:

• Creative-agency identity rather than a performance-buying identity, so heavy optimization programs are not the calling card.
• Brands with demanding measurement needs may want to pair it with an analytics partner.

Pass on Vimo Media if: You mainly need deep media-buying and measurement muscle rather than content production.

5. Precis Digital

Precis Digital is a data-driven marketing agency with offices across the Nordics that runs paid media, analytics and measurement for larger advertisers.

Best for: Larger Nordic advertisers that want a measurement-led partner and a rigorous, incrementality-based answer to the question of what Snapchat actually adds to the mix.

What stands out: One of the strongest analytics and measurement organizations in the region, with in-house engineering for attribution, incrementality and consent-era tracking. That is exactly the toolkit you want when a finance team asks whether Snapchat spend is producing anything Meta and Google would not have produced anyway.

Pros:

• Best-in-class measurement consulting in the Nordics, including incrementality testing.
• Deep Google ecosystem expertise with strong platform relationships.
• Local teams across the Scandinavian markets.

Cons:

• Creative production is not the center of gravity, so many brands pair Precis with a separate creative partner for native Snapchat material.
• Built for larger organizations, and the model favors mature marketing teams.

Pass on Precis if: Your constraint is native vertical creative volume rather than measurement sophistication.

6. s360

s360 is one of the largest digital marketing agencies in the Nordics, covering paid media, SEO, feeds, marketplaces and marketing technology for ecommerce and retail brands.

Best for: Nordic ecommerce and retail brands that want Snapchat covered inside a broad multi-channel program with serious retail-tech depth under one contract.

What stands out: Scale and technical retail infrastructure. Feed management, shopping setups and marketplace operations sit alongside paid media across channels, which suits retailers with large catalogs that want paid social, including Snapchat, coordinated with the rest of the commerce stack.

Pros:

• Hundreds of specialists across Nordic offices, so capacity is never the issue.
• Broad channel coverage under one contract, with paid social alongside search, feeds and marketplaces.
• Strong on the technical retail stack that keeps large catalogs profitable.

Cons:

• Big-agency structure, so the day-to-day team on a smaller DTC account is not always the senior people from the pitch.
• DTC creative testing velocity is not the identity of the agency the way retail infrastructure is.

Pass on s360 if: You want a boutique team living in Snapchat creative every week rather than a broad multi-channel program.

7. GroupM Norway

GroupM Norway is the Norwegian arm of the largest media agency group in the Nordics, spanning Mindshare, Wavemaker, EssenceMediacom and GroupM Nexus.

Best for: Enterprise advertisers with big media budgets that want Snapchat planned and bought inside a full cross-channel media plan, backed by holdco scale, trading power and proprietary data and technology.

What stands out: Scale. No one in the Nordics matches GroupM's trading power or its investment in proprietary data and technology, and for a large advertiser running Snapchat alongside TV, out-of-home and the full digital stack, having every channel planned in one place has real value.

Pros:

• The largest media agency group in the Nordics, with scale and trading power to match.
• Proprietary data and technology behind planning and buying.
• Full cross-channel coverage for advertisers running big, complex media plans.

Cons:

• Enterprise process and retainer models suit large organizations better than lean DTC teams.
• Weekly DTC creative testing velocity is not the core identity, and day-to-day team seniority varies with account size.

Pass on GroupM if: You are a lean DTC brand that needs fast weekly iteration on Snapchat creative rather than enterprise media planning.

How to choose a Snapchat Ads agency

Snapchat punishes half-hearted programs faster than most channels, because the audience is native to the platform and scrolls past anything that is not. Before you sign, five checks are worth running.

First, ask who owns the channel. In many agencies Snapchat is a checkbox someone ticks after the Meta work is done. Ask for the name of the person who will run your Snapchat account, how much of their week it gets, and when they last moved budget toward the channel because the numbers said to.

Second, ask where the vertical creative comes from. Snapchat performance lives and dies on native creator-style video, refreshed constantly. An agency that plans to resize your Meta assets is telling you the channel will plateau. Ask how many new concepts ship per month and who films them; we covered the math in how many ads a DTC brand should test per month.

Third, check the tracking plan. Consent-era signal loss hits Snapchat just as hard as Meta, so server-side tracking and CAPI-style integrations should be part of the setup conversation, not an afterthought. If the agency measures Snapchat only on platform-reported ROAS, the channel will look worse than it is and get cut for the wrong reason.

Fourth, ask how the agency earns. A fixed retainer costs the same whether Snapchat scales or stalls. A performance fee moves with the results. Both models can work, but they create different incentives on a channel that needs constant testing to stay alive. The full comparison is in performance model vs retainer agency.

Fifth, ask for Nordic proof. Snapchat's strength in Norway, Sweden and Denmark is a local phenomenon, and running it well takes local language creative and a feel for the audience. An agency with real Nordic Snapchat work can show you accounts, formats and results from this market, not case studies from a different continent.

How this list was built

This guide was assembled from the agencies' own published services and client work, public case studies and rosters, and direct experience running and competing against Snapchat programs in the Nordic DTC market. Agencies are ordered by fit for the brands most likely to be reading: DTC companies that see Snapchat's unusual Nordic strength and want a partner who treats it accordingly. Inclusion is not an endorsement and exclusion is not a demerit; the goal is to cover the realistic range of ways to buy the channel, from boutique creative-led programs to enterprise media planning.

Wrapping up

Snapchat is one of the few remaining channels where Nordic DTC brands can buy attention their competitors are ignoring. The agencies on this list get you there by different routes: content shops that make natives of the format, measurement specialists who can prove what the channel adds, and holdco scale for enterprise plans.

For DTC brands that want Snapchat run as a core channel rather than an experiment, Curve.no feeds it from the same weekly engine as Meta, Google and TikTok, with native creator formats shipped every week and fees tied to the results the account actually produces.
