What are Conversation Placements on Reddit?

Reddit Conversation Placements are a unique form of paid advertising designed to seamlessly integrate with the vibrant discussions that define the Reddit community. With Reddit ads in comments, brands can position their messages within the comment sections of Reddit posts. 

Designed to fit natively alongside posts created by regular redditors, these ads blend in naturally with the conversation

Benefits of Using Conversation Ads

Combine conversation placements with promoted posts to maximize your reach within the same audience — reach them through your ads in the feed, and in the threads below them. 

Increased Visibility

Every day, a staggering 350,000 conversations happen on Reddit, giving your brand a chance to grab the attention of people engaged in their passions and interests. Since 42% of redditors spend time in conversation threads1, this is your opportunity to make your brand stand out where it counts the most. 

Deeper Audience Connection

Build authentic connections with your target audience as they actively participate in discussions. Conversation Ads on Reddit place your brand within the context of relevant conversations, enabling deeper and more meaningful connections with redditors. 

Cost-Effective Advertising

Navigate advertising placement with flexibility. Conversation Ads offer cost-effective solutions with flexible payment options, including cost per mille (CPM) and cost per click (CPC).

Targeting both the Reddit Feed and Conversation Placements allows you to optimize your ad spend, potentially extending your reach by up to 20%.1

Once you’ve determined your campaign name, objective, and spending, you can continue to Ad Group Settings and select “conversations” under the Placements tab. Here, you’ll also find targeting options you can set before creating your ad with creatives, including image, video, carousel, or text.
