Reddit Ads

Join the conversation your customers are already having.

Reddit is where people go to ask honest questions and compare notes before they buy. Communities form around every interest, and the people in them notice quickly when a brand does not belong. We run Reddit Ads that respect that culture: campaigns targeted to the right communities, creative written in a voice people want to read and measurement that shows what Reddit really adds to your growth.

Reddit Ads, set up to earn attention

Your Reddit Ads account

We start with a review of your account, from campaign structure and targeting to creative, bidding and tracking. You see clearly what is reaching the right communities, what is being ignored and a prioritised plan to turn Reddit into a dependable channel.

An AI agent for your Reddit Ads

Every Reddit Ads programme we run comes with an agent that reads your campaign data and the conversations around your ads together. Ask which communities respond, how people feel about your creative or what to test next, and get a clear answer from live data.

It spots patterns and drafts copy, briefs and reports in minutes. Our team reviews every recommendation before anything is published or changed, so no ad, reply or budget shift goes live without a person signing it off.

You
Which communities are worth more budget?
Two of the hobby communities are converting well ahead of the broader interest targeting. I have drafted a budget shift and new ad copy that speaks to their usual questions.
You
Why are comments on our latest ad mostly negative?
The ad reads as a hard sell in a community that values honest comparisons. I have drafted a more transparent version for the team to review before it replaces the current one.

Why brands grow with Reddit Ads at Vertical

Reddit rewards brands that listen first and speak plainly. We bring research, creative and paid media together, so your campaigns fit the communities they reach.

Research before spend

We study the communities your customers use before any budget goes live, so targeting is built on what people actually discuss rather than broad assumptions.

Copy that fits the culture

Our writers create ads that sound like a helpful contributor rather than a billboard, which matters on a platform where people are quick to call out a hard sell.

Honest about fit

Reddit is not right for every brand. If the communities are not there, or the timing is wrong, we will say so and suggest where your budget would work harder.

Joined up with other channels

Insights from Reddit conversations inform search, social and email messaging, and customer data from other channels sharpens Reddit targeting in return.

AI with human judgement

Agents analyse performance and community sentiment at speed. Our specialists decide what runs and keep every message accurate and on brand.

Measurement you can trust

We compare Reddit reporting with your own sales and lead data, so you can see what the platform really contributes to growth.

Reddit Ads questions, answered

What does a Reddit Ads agency do?

A Reddit Ads agency helps brands reach people through paid advertising on Reddit. At Vertical that covers community research, campaign strategy, ad copy and creative, targeting, bidding, tracking and reporting. Because Reddit audiences are thoughtful and quick to spot a hard sell, we spend real time understanding each community before launching. Agents help us analyse performance and sentiment quickly, while experienced specialists make the judgements about where to spend, what to say and how to keep your brand welcome in the places it appears.

Is Reddit right for our brand?

Reddit tends to work well for brands whose customers research carefully before buying, or who have strong interests and hobbies. Technology, gaming, finance, beauty, fitness, food, pets and many niche categories all have active communities. It can be less suited to products that rely on impulse or purely visual appeal. We look at where your customers already gather and what they say about your category, then give you an honest view of whether Reddit deserves a place in your plan.

What are conversation ads?

Conversation ads are ads that appear within or alongside the comment threads people are reading, rather than only in the main feed. Because people in those threads are already engaged with a specific topic, a relevant ad can reach them at a moment of real interest. The best results come from copy that adds something useful to the discussion. We write conversation ads to fit the tone of each community and test them alongside feed placements to see which works best for you.

How does community targeting work?

Reddit lets advertisers reach people based on the communities they visit, the interests they show and the topics they engage with. That makes it possible to reach a very specific audience, such as people discussing a particular hobby or product category. We research which communities are genuinely relevant, group them sensibly and test them against broader targeting. Over time, budget moves towards the communities that deliver results, and we keep looking for new ones as your audience grows.

What creative works best on Reddit?

Reddit users respond to ads that feel honest, specific and useful. Clear headlines, genuine product detail and a tone that respects the reader usually outperform polished brand language. Images and video should look natural rather than overly produced. We often borrow the questions people ask in your category and answer them directly in the ad. Creative is tested regularly, so we learn which angles earn clicks and positive comments and keep refreshing ideas before they tire.

How much should we spend on Reddit Ads?

It depends on your goals, how large your target communities are and what a customer is worth to you. Many brands start with a focused test budget across a handful of well researched communities, then scale once results are clear. We set budgets around the outcomes that matter, such as leads or sales, rather than clicks alone. You will always know what you are spending, what it is delivering and where we think more budget would or would not pay off.

How do you measure Reddit Ads performance?

We set up the Reddit Pixel and server side conversion tracking, so campaigns can optimise towards the actions that matter to your business. Reporting covers spend, reach, engagement and conversions, and we compare those figures with your own sales or lead data to see the real contribution. Because Reddit often influences people earlier in their research, we also look at how it supports search and direct traffic, giving you a fair picture of its value.

How do you protect our brand on Reddit?

We review where ads will appear, choose communities carefully and use the placement and brand safety controls the platform provides. Copy is written to be accurate and transparent, which reduces the risk of a negative reaction. We monitor comments on your ads and flag anything that needs a response or a change of approach. If a community turns out to be a poor fit, we remove it quickly and explain why in our reporting.

How does Reddit fit with our other marketing?

Reddit works best as part of a joined up plan. Conversations there reveal the questions, objections and language your customers use, which improves search ads, social creative, email and website copy. In turn, your customer data and wider campaign results help us target Reddit more precisely. We plan Reddit alongside paid social, paid search and media planning, so every channel supports the others rather than competing for the same budget.

How do we get started with Vertical?

Start with a conversation about your goals and whether your customers are active on Reddit. If you already run Reddit Ads, we usually begin with a review of your account, creative and tracking, then share a prioritised plan. If you are new to the platform, we research the relevant communities and scope a focused first campaign. Either way, we will tell you plainly where we see the opportunity and how we would approach it together.

Bring us the ambition. We’ll build the system behind it.
