What to post in r/marketingagency
What fits the room, and what gets removed.
Works well
- A plain text post asking agency owners how they handle a specific situation, like raising prices or firing a bad client, with your own short answer included.
- A lessons learned post about something that went wrong in your agency, written as a story with no links and no offer at the end.
- A question about hiring or subcontracting for agency work, asked from genuine curiosity about how others in the room do it.
- A thoughtful comment answering someone else's question in detail, which builds standing without touching the promotion rule.
- A discussion starter about a change in the agency world, framed as what are you all seeing, not as here is my take and my link.
Avoid
- Posting any kind of sales pitch, since the moderator one-liner says posts with self promotion, sales pitches, or spam get removed.
- Dropping a link to your agency site, case study, or tool when the real goal is getting clients, because that reads as promotion and the brief says promotion is banned.
- Framing an ad as a question, like asking for feedback on something you are actually selling, since the moderators remove anything that turns out to be a pitch.
- Writing a post that is really about your service with agency talk sprinkled on top, because the survival tip says to keep discussions focused on agency ownership and growth.
- Assuming the empty rules page means anything goes, when the moderator one-liner and the community description both make promotion-free the core rule.
- Copy pasting the same promotional comment into multiple threads, which fits the spam category the moderators say they remove.

What r/marketingagency Is For
This is a community for marketing agency owners, and also for aspiring marketers who want to learn the trade. The description says it plainly, it is a promotion-free space where people talk, ask questions, and help each other. The tone is set by two phrases in the description, no sales and no nonsense. So the room is built for conversation about running and growing an agency, not for anyone hunting for clients. The policy brief confirms the focus, keep discussions centered on marketing agency ownership and growth.
What To Post
A good post here is a real question or a real lesson from running an agency, with nothing for sale attached. Think along the lines of how you handled a pricing conversation, what you would do differently when hiring, or a mistake you made with a client that others can learn from. Share your experience in plain words and let people ask follow ups in the comments. If someone wants to know what you do, they will ask, and you can answer honestly in a comment without turning it into a pitch. The safest test before you hit post is simple, would this still be useful to an agency owner if they could never hire me.
What To Avoid
The removal trigger here is stated in one line by the moderators, they remove any posts that contain self promotion, sales pitches, or spam. That covers a lot of ground. A post that pitches your service, a comment that pushes your tool, a link that exists to funnel people somewhere, all of that fits. The description backs this up with no sales, no nonsense. The survival tips repeat it twice, do not post sales pitches or promotional content, and keep discussions focused on agency ownership and growth. If your post reads like marketing about marketing, it is at risk.
A note from Anthony
What stands out to me here is that the rules page is empty, yet the moderator one-liner is about as blunt as it gets, remove anything with self promotion, sales pitches, or spam. That tells me the bar is not a long list of technicalities, it is one simple test of whether your post helps agency owners or helps you. My honest read is that this room rewards founders who show up as peers first, and I would rather see someone answer three questions before they ever mention what they do.
