The platypus effect: Why reddit ads don’t fit social or search

Brighton, Spring 2026

Dhea will examine how Reddit Ads occupy a category of their own - sitting between social and search, and increasingly shaped by the platform’s influence on AI models.

She will explain how Reddit users behaviours differs from traditional social browsers and search users, and what this means for targeting and intent.

The session will give marketers practical insight into leveraging Reddit’s unique position to reach audiences actively seeking authentic, community-driven recommendations.
