A full-service digital marketing agency in Brisbane, BFJ Digital outlines its strategic emphasis on specialised Reddit advertising to help businesses reach targeted audiences and optimise digital campaign performance. The agency notes the platform’s expanding user base and distinctive community structure as increasingly vital opportunities within today’s digital marketing landscape.
Why Reddit Advertising?
Reddit has shown massive growth, with a reported 53% increase in its engagement rate since 2018. As of the fourth quarter of 2024, Reddit reported 101.7 million daily active unique users, contributing to a reported $427.7 million in revenue for that quarter alone, representing a 71% year-over-year increase. This growth positions Reddit as a considerable yet often underutilised space for marketing campaigns.
The platform’s user base exhibits distinct behaviours valuable to advertisers. Data indicates that Reddit users are 22% more likely to seek content than users on other mainstream social platforms. This intentional engagement can translate into higher-quality brand interactions. Another statistic shows Reddit’s influence on discovery: 16% of users have reported that a Reddit advertisement has prompted them to research a brand. Trust is also a notable factor, with 46% of users reporting they are more likely to trust a brand advertised on Reddit than other digital channels. But they only do so if the ad messaging is contextually relevant.
Reddit’s structure, which has over 100,000 active communities (subreddits), allows brands to create highly specific audience segmentation. Advertisers can reach users based on niche interests, behaviours, and demographics. The primary user demographic on Reddit includes young adults, with 46% of U.S. users aged 19 to 29 and 26.5% aged 25 to 34. The platform also shows a relatively balanced gender distribution, with 51% female and 49% male users as of a 2024 survey. Key geographic markets for Reddit include the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, India, and Australia. Ad formats on the platform typically include sponsored posts, display ads, and video ads, which Reddit integrates into relevant user feeds or appear alongside conversations.
BFJ Digital’s Specialised Approach
BFJ Digital’s approach to Reddit advertising focuses on leveraging a community-driven environment through detailed ad targeting strategies. The agency analyses interests, demographics, and behaviours within highly relevant subreddits to connect advertisers with specific user segments effectively.
This Brisbane firm relies on a data-driven framework to develop, execute and optimise Reddit ad campaigns. This includes ongoing analysis of campaign performance metrics and user feedback from within the platform to refine strategies and boost return on investment. BFJ Digital recognises the importance of authentic engagement on Reddit and works to navigate the platform’s distinct culture to create ads that resonate with users, moving beyond conventional promotional tactics or too-assertive or in-your-face advertising.
“Reddit allows you to interact directly with the right communities for your business. Engaging with and learning how Reddit benefits communities helps brands evolve their marketing efforts into direct-to-community-focused ads,” a BFJ Digital representative shared.
The agency’s expertise extends to managing the nuances of Reddit’s advertising platform, providing comprehensive solutions that maximise small campaign budgets.
