Reddit's Ads Business has made investments in its product roadmap, industry partnerships and internationalization strategy including official launches in the UK, Canada, Australia and Germany in the last 18 months. A community of communities, Reddit is home to real and informed conversations on the internet, and connects hundreds of businesses around the world with users who influence behavior, drive decisions and shape culture.

"Tinuiti is focused on ensuring our clients have the most innovative and first-to-market competitive advantages across their entire media approach with the freshest levers at their disposal," said Obele Brown-West, Tinuiti Chief Solutions Officer. "This Reddit partnership expands our reach as a business and will only benefit our clients business with Reddit and Tinuiti's mutual commitment to provide brands with maximum control, transparency and effectiveness in their ad strategy."

"It's been a tremendous 12 months of agency partnerships at Reddit as we've upleveled our relationships and agreements with the major holding companies in exciting and significant ways. The natural next step for us is to apply the same focus to independent agencies, which already account for a growing number of active advertisers on our platform who are, much like Reddit, typically nimble, agile and eager to test at speed", said Reddit Head of Growth MM and SMB, Neal Hubman. "We are committed to making it as seamless and efficient for new clients to join and grow on our platform, and independent agencies are key to this success. Kick-starting this effort with Tinuiti as our first official partner is extremely exciting given Tinuiti's impressive client roster and renowned reputation for performance-driven success. I'm excited to see this relationship continue to go from strength to strength under this partnership."

Tinuiti and Reddit have been working together to accelerate brand performance for Tinuiti clients since 2020. Most recently, Tinuiti turned to Reddit for a unique opportunity to find qualified, investment-interested users, by way of Community Takeovers for M1 Finance. The first takeover surpassed Reddit benchmarks and click through rates. In the year ahead, Tinuiti will help clients unlock the full power of Reddit, leveraging its unique capability to foster meaningful engagement and contextual richness through diverse and passionate communities full of core consumers.

Tinuiti has built strong relationships with all the major tech platforms as a charter member of the Amazon Advertising Agency Partner Network; Google Premier Partner (top 3% of all agencies) and International Growth Partner; Meta Premium Marketing Partner, Kochava Authorized Agency Partner and the first independent agency in the US to receive official TikTok Marketing accreditation.

In 2021, Tinuiti completed two major acquisitions: Amazon-specialist agency, Ortega Group, to create the industry's most robust full-service Amazon and marketplace program, and digital streaming agency, Bliss Point Media, which transformed Tinuiti into the largest independent purchaser of streaming/OTT media in the U.S.
