Can you promote in r/b2bmarketing?

Cautious: promotion is tolerated only in context — answer the question first, disclose your affiliation, and never lead with a link.

r/b2bmarketing is a practitioner-heavy community obsessed with ROI skepticism and tactical execution. Posts that expose flawed conventional wisdom (vanity metrics, bad timing, tool bloat) rise fastest. Members reward honest struggle and peer problem-solving over polished case studies or vendor solutions. Self-promotion is tolerated only when embedded in genuine advice; naked pitches are downvoted or ignored.

• DO lead with a genuine problem or counterintuitive insight before offering advice
• DO share specific metrics, timelines, or results (adds credibility)
• DO ask for help or validation; frame questions as peer-to-peer
• DO reference tools/platforms by name (community uses them daily)
• DON'T post generic motivational content or hype (ignored)
• DON'T promote tools/services as primary content; bury it in answers only
• DON'T claim 'this one weird trick'—skepticism is high
• DON'T ignore the buying timeline; acknowledge deal complexity
