High-Impact Awareness with Reddit Category Takeovers
Challenge
To maximize awareness and reach of [specific business product from brand].
Solution
Reddit Category Takeovers (Business & Finance, Current Events & news, Lifestyle & Leisure, and Sports) allowed for the brand to be the first brand seen in multiple relevant category communities for 24+ hours – delivering in-sync messaging to each category. Successfully capitalized on Reddit site traffic within concentrated environments, delivering strong performance across the board, exceeding CTR and VCR benchmarks and CPM + VV expectations.
- Each category saw impressions, video views and VCRs well above goals.
- Shorter format videos resulted in VCRs that were double that of longer format videos.
- Real-life situational creative resonated deeply with users and garnered lower CPMs, higher VCRs, and ultimately added value.
- Accumulated exceptional added value (33% of total investment)!
Benefits
- Connect with the people who matter most; target relevant subreddits and occupy the top advertising spot when redditors visit those communities. This targeted exposure ensures that your message resonates with the right audience.
- Foster meaningful engagements with high-potential niche audiences; establish a deeper connection with redditors who share common interest.
- Establish band authority and credibility; brand will be shown across the feed, banners, and in conversations (utilizing text, image and video) for a holistic top-of-mind user experience.
