Reddit lead gen ads just got a meaningful upgrade. Reddit announced enhancements designed to make it easier for marketers to collect leads from in-app promotions and feed them into their CRM, centered on AI automation, new targeting and a HubSpot integration.
Reddit is expanding its AI-powered Max campaigns to lead gen objectives. Max campaigns assist with targeting, creative selection, ad placements and budget allocation, giving advertisers an easier path to building lead generation workflows.
Reddit is also testing in-market audiences, which reach users actively researching products or services in specific categories. The initial categories are enterprise, business AI and cybersecurity, with more sectors planned. Reddit said advertisers using in-market audiences in early trials saw an average CPA improvement of nearly 7% compared with other first-party targeting options.
A new HubSpot integration adds more ways to manage promotions and leads, and Reddit has expanded its partner ecosystem to include Bombora, Demandbase, Clay, G2 and Octane 11, opening more ways to use off-site data for targeting and performance.
Reddit has become a go-to destination for product research. The company says more than 20 million business decision-makers use the platform, and nine in 10 used it to research business products or services in the past year. That makes it a serious candidate for lead generation programs.
