Can you promote in r/digitalmarketing?

Strict: this community removes promotional content on sight. Contribute value only; pitching here risks removal and a subreddit ban.

r/digitalmarketing is a results-focused community of practitioners (freelancers, agency staff, in-house marketers, freshers) who swap real numbers, tool hacks, and tactical lessons. They're skeptical of AI hype but pragmatic about using it for grunt work; they value case studies with actual CVR/ROAS over theory; and they're deeply concerned with client demands, channel selection, and tool costs. Self-promotion is tolerated only if it delivers data or solves a specific problem—pure ads will be ignored or downvoted.

• DO share real campaign numbers, metrics, and results—precision earns respect
• DO acknowledge trade-offs and downsides (e.g., AI saves time but needs review)
• DO ask specific, blockers-focused questions that invite authentic replies
• DO ask for tried-and-tested advice, not theory
• DO share mistakes and pivots as case studies
• DON'T post pure promotional content or agency plugs without context/data
• DON'T share vague 'marketing is hard' posts without a concrete angle
• DON'T oversell tools or hacks; frame as tested alternatives
• DON'T ask obvious questions (e.g., generic SEO advice without context)
• DON'T ignore the AI conversation—it's central to the community right now
