What are the key B2B metrics?
Published B2B cases
Thin
Reddit's public case studies are mostly consumer and e-commerce. I have left those off this page rather than present a jewellery retailer as B2B evidence — the argument for Reddit here rests on where B2B buyers research, not on borrowed retail results
CAC reduction (Chargeblast, B2B SaaS)
-75%
via Lookalike audiences (Reddit published case study)
Conversation Ads
In-thread
the only placement that sits inside the research itself, between comments on a live discussion
What are the best B2B ad formats?
Promoted Posts (native in-feed)
Look and feel like organic posts while generating comments and authentic feedback.
High-trust format; Reddit users reject 'corporate' ads
Conversation Ads
Placed between comments on discussion pages. The most contextually relevant space.
Runs between comments on a live discussion — the ad sits inside the research, not beside it

What mistakes do B2B advertisers make on Reddit?
Corporate, 'salesy' ad copy
→ Reddit rejects marketing-speak. Use a human, transparent tone suited to the community.
Targeting Reddit-wide instead of specific subreddits
→ Target 3-5 subreddits where your ICP actively participates in discussions.
Disabling comments on ads
→ Comments are the feedback loop. Authentic responses build trust and improve ad performance.
Measuring in last-click
→ Reddit works at the consideration/validation stage. Use multi-touch attribution and view-through.
No community audit before buying
→ Every subreddit has rules and culture. Lurk and understand before running ads.
