What r/marketing Is For

r/marketing is a large professional community for marketing and advertising discussion. It is valuable for operators, but it is not friendly to hidden product research or vendor promotion.

What Works On r/marketing

Strong posts ask a real practitioner question and include the audience, channel, budget, funnel stage, and what has already been tried.

What To Avoid

Avoid product reviews, app ideas, AI-written advice, self-promotion, and survey-style requests. If a post exists to create demand for your offer, it is likely a bad fit.
