Will Native Advertising on Reddit Be an Opportunity for PR?
DISCLAIMER: throughout my career as a literary publicist, I’ve tried to “place” a few clients on Reddit via the popular “Ask Me Anything” feature.
Reddit staffers were always accommodating, helping me set up a time in the AMA calendar and sharing best practices to ensure success. Although the results were better than some of my live Q&As on Goodreads, and approximately on par with the various TwitterChats (though with a longer shelf life), my clients were skeptical about the return on investment—will the redditor making fun of my hair actually buy my book?
Still, I knew that Reddit’s 114 million monthly users with their highly-curated threads presented an opportunity.
