21 Subreddits Every Digital Marketer Should Subscribe To
The best way for anyone to stay on top of any news, events and information around almost any topic imaginable in the 21st century is Reddit. Hands down. Most digital marketers know this already so I won’t waste too much time proving the point here. If you don’t know this, it’s okay. Here’s a five minute synopsis to get you up to speed.
The real trouble with Reddit, even for marketers who are familiar with the platform, is its unfriendly UX and search feature.
It’s very difficult to find the subreddits you should be following.
To help give you a head start with finding marketing subreddits, here’s a list of 21 you should probably be subscribed to if you’re not already …
