Reddit has come up with a new spin on business by opening up a space for advertisers where users can directly engage with.
The platform has reached a great deal of success with regard to its advertising service. In this year alone, the platform has been gaining momentum which led to the creation of KarmaLab.
The aim is to sharpen brands’ creative advertising strategies under the leadership of Will Caby, the global director of KarmaLab.
Reddit is bridging the gap between paid ads and organic by encouraging brands to promote their products, services by working with KarmaLab. Which purpose is to serve contextual ads to the Reddit communities.
