Our services in the area of Reddit
Reddit is one of the largest online platforms for sharing content, opinions and discussions on almost any topic imaginable. We handle your ads, strategy and consulting to help you successfully engage with the active Reddit community!
Target group analysis
A successful Reddit marketing strategy begins with a detailed target group analysis. We identify relevant subreddits, examine the interests, behavior and language of your potential customers, and analyze which content and discussions achieve particularly high engagement rates. Using sentiment analysis and trend evaluation, we identify topics that are particularly relevant to your target group at an early stage. This analysis forms the basis for a targeted content and targeting strategy to position your company in the right communities, either organically or through paid advertising.
Reddit enables companies to interact with their target group in real time, answer questions and gather valuable feedback. Authentic communication strengthens trust and promotes long-term customer relationships.
With 97 million daily active users worldwide, Reddit offers enormous organic reach, especially for viral and discussion-worthy content. Well-placed posts can quickly reach a large number of people without the need for high advertising budgets.
Thanks to the large number of topic-specific subreddits, companies can place their content and ads directly where their target group is already active. This enables a direct approach to an interested audience and reduces wastage.
How does Reddit work?
Post, vote and comment in active subreddits.
Reddit is one of the most visited websites in the world and a unique platform for exchanging information, opinions and trends. For companies, Reddit offers enormous potential for interacting with relevant target groups and building brand awareness. But Reddit follows its own rules – traditional marketing can quickly fail here. Successful Reddit marketing requires an authentic, community-oriented strategy.
Reddit consists of numerous topic-specific forums, the so-called subreddits, which deal with almost every conceivable topic. Anyone who wants to successfully advertise or place a brand on Reddit should take a close look at the platform culture and understand the dynamics of the community. Above all, authenticity is important, because Reddit users often view traditional advertising skeptically or even negatively. Successful Reddit marketing therefore means actively participating in discussions, providing helpful or entertaining content, and delivering real value to the community. Companies can position themselves as experts by posting informative content, memes, or hosting “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) sessions. Every Reddit community has its own rules and individual communication culture – anyone who doesn’t follow them risks negative reactions or being banned. Advertising should therefore be subtle and appealing in order to be accepted by the community.
Reddit advertising formats
The most important ad formats for successful campaigns.
In addition to organic interaction, Reddit offers various advertising formats to reach specific users. Companies can choose between different types of ads that differ in placement, format and interaction options:
Promoted Posts (sponsored posts): These posts appear in users’ feeds and resemble normal Reddit posts, but are marked as “sponsored”. They can include images, videos or links.
Display Ads: Classic banner ads placed in prominent locations on Reddit. Best for larger brands with high budgets.
Video Ads: Autoplay video ads that appear in the feed and can achieve high engagement rates.
Carousel Ads: Allow you to showcase multiple images or videos in a single ad that users can swipe through.
Takeover Ads: Highly effective ad formats such as “Frontpage Takeover” or “Category Takeover”, in which companies dominate the Reddit homepage or specific subreddit categories for a certain period of time. This premium option is costly, but ensures maximum reach and visibility.
Free-Form Ads: A new format that allows advertisers to get creative by combining text, images, videos, and GIFs in a single ad. This format fosters community engagement and increases brand awareness.
Community Targeting: Ads can be placed in specific subreddits to directly address relevant user groups.
10 Reddit best practice approaches
How to win over the Reddit community.
- Understand the platform and follow the rules: Reddit has its own culture and community rules that vary in each subreddit. Make sure you know and follow them in order to gain trust.
- Be authentic instead of promotional: Reddit users immediately recognize blatant advertising. Instead, you should offer real added value and actively participate in discussions.
- Choose the right subreddits: Not every community is right for every company. It’s worth identifying subreddits with relevant target groups in order to place content in the right places.
- Interact, don’t just post: Brands should not only share their own content, but also respond to comments, answer questions and help shape discussions.
- Deliver added value: Exclusive insights, AMAs (“Ask Me Anything”), creative content or well-researched posts work particularly well.
- Use the right timing: Posts should be posted during the main activity times of the target subreddits to achieve maximum visibility.
- Strike the right Reddit tone: Communication on Reddit is direct, humorous and unfiltered. Avoid overly formal or brand-heavy language and adapt your tone of voice to the casual language of the users.
- Use Reddit ads strategically: sponsored posts or category takeovers can be useful if they are well aligned with the community.
- Patience and long-term strategy: Reddit is not a platform for quick, short-term success. A continuous strategic build-up of trust and presence within the community pays off in the long run.
- Measure success & adjust strategy: Regular analysis of upvotes, comments and traffic helps to optimize the performance of your Reddit activities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions & answers about Reddit marketing
Reddit is a social media platform that is divided into various thematic forums, known as subreddits. Users can share content such as texts, links, images and videos, vote on posts (upvotes & downvotes) and interact in discussions. The platform is often referred to as “the front page of the internet” because it bundles trends, viral content and current discussions from a wide range of areas. Reddit places a strong emphasis on community engagement, with each subreddit community having its own rules and moderation guidelines.
Reddit offers a highly engaged and often specialized user base that delves deeply into specific topics. By targeting communities, companies can present their content to exactly the right target groups. However, Reddit is critical of obvious advertising, so an authentic and valuable approach works best.
A Reddit marketing agency helps companies use Reddit effectively as a platform for advertising and communication. It develops customized strategies for organic marketing (e.g. community engagement, content creation, AMAs) and paid advertising campaigns with Reddit Ads. It also handles target group analysis, subreddit research and targeting to reach the right users. The agency also handles campaign management, performance measurement, and optimization of ongoing campaigns to achieve the best possible results.
Unlike Facebook or Instagram, where users are accustomed to advertising, the Reddit community is sensitive to heavy-handed marketing. Successful Reddit marketing requires genuine value, interactive posts and participation in discussions. Those who only use traditional ads risk negative feedback or poor brand perception.
Subreddits are topic-specific forums within Reddit that revolve around certain interests, hobbies or industries. They are crucial for marketing because they make it possible to address highly relevant target groups directly. Companies should actively participate in relevant subreddits and follow the respective rules.
The success of Reddit marketing can be measured using several key performance indicators (KPIs). Important metrics include upvotes, comments, and engagement rates, as they show how well the content is received by the community. For paid ads, click-through rate (CTR), cost-per-click (CPC), and conversion rate are crucial. Reddit Ads offers an integrated analytics dashboard that can be used to track impressions, interactions and conversions in real time. In addition, UTM parameters or external tracking tools such as Google Analytics can be used to monitor campaign traffic and performance on your own website.
Organic Reddit marketing requires patience and real interaction. Companies should post helpful or entertaining content, participate in discussions and respond to questions in their industry. “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) sessions, informative articles or creative memes with added value for the community are particularly popular.
Reddit ad costs vary depending on the campaign type, audience, and bidding strategy. The minimum price for a campaign is just under €5 per day, with advertisers able to choose between cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-1000-impressions (CPM). CPC bids often start at €0.50-€5, while CPM bids can be higher depending on the competition and target audience. Premium formats such as trending takeover or category takeover are significantly more expensive and require a slightly higher budget as they offer maximum visibility. Overall, Reddit advertising is cheaper than on platforms like Facebook or LinkedIn, but it requires a clever strategy to be effective.
There are two effective approaches to reaching the right audience on Reddit: organic engagement and targeted advertising. By actively participating in relevant subreddits, companies can authentically interact with their target group, answer questions and share valuable content. For paid campaigns, Reddit Ads offers community targeting, which allows ads to be placed directly in specific subreddits. Alternatively, interest targeting can be used to reach users who are interested in certain topics, regardless of which subreddit they are active in.
