Rule summary

Community-specific content: Posts must be on topic, in-depth, and Product Marketing focused. Please structure your title as follows for consistency: POST TITLE: A clear and detailed title including: B2B or B2C and your industry. POST BODY: Include at least one paragraph of supporting text that frames your question or point clearly Post title examples: - (B2C Fintech) Pricing strategy for a savings app targeting Gen Z in the UK (B2B Security) Feature packaging for a cybersecurity suite aimed at SMBs in Europe.
No self-promotion, clickbait, AI spam, or low-effort content: We can all tell when you post AI slop. Don't do it. This is NOT LinkedIn. Your post will be removed. Do not request work, offer services, or promote your own product or company. If your post mentions your product or company name, it will be removed. Avoid repeating questions that have already been discussed. Please search/filter previous posts before starting a new thread.
Career related posts: To keep discussions balanced, career-related posts are only allowed on Fridays. This is not a job board - please do not post or request jobs. Use the "Career - Only Friday" tag when posting about job searches, interview prep, career transitions, compensation, or personal growth in Product Marketing. Posts outside of Friday will be removed.
Be polite & respectful: Be polite and respectful of other users. Civil conversation is okay, bigotry and personal attacks are not. If engaged in debate, argue in good faith and assume that all parties involved are doing the same.
1 post per user, per day - quality over quantity: 1 post per user, per day.
Moderator discretion: The Mods may remove any post or comment to maintain the quality and focus of the subreddit, even if it does not explicitly break a rule.

Works well

Posts that match the community context: A place for Product Marketers to ask questions, share knowledge, vent, and discuss strategy.
Specific questions or lessons about marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions, with enough context for useful replies.
Share a campaign postmortem with audience, channel, creative, budget, and result context.
Ask a narrow marketing question after explaining the market, channel, and constraint.
Drafts that satisfy the visible rule "Community-specific content" before any link, launch, or product mention appears.

What r/ProductMarketing Is For

Reddit describes r/ProductMarketing this way: A place for Product Marketers to ask questions, share knowledge, vent, and discuss strategy.

For Rankhog planning, treat it as a place for marketing tactics, campaign work, growth experiments, and channel-specific questions. Use the source description and the visible rule list before deciding whether a startup post belongs there.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

The fetched old Reddit rules include "Community-specific content", "No self-promotion, clickbait, AI spam, or low-effort content", "Career related posts", "Be polite & respectful". The rule to read twice is "No self-promotion, clickbait, AI spam, or low-effort content". It is the clearest source-backed warning against turning the subreddit into a launch, link, or sales channel.

What To Post

A strong post gives the community something to answer, inspect, or learn from before it asks for attention. Bring the audience, stage, constraint, what you tried, and the exact question.

Good fits include:

What To Avoid

Do not use r/ProductMarketing as a cold launch channel. The safest draft should still make sense if the company name, product URL, and call to action are removed.
