These include video ads, AMAs, exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, and game highlights. All aim to boost user engagement.
Jen Wong is Reddit’s Chief Operating Officer. She highlights the platform’s appeal: “Reddit is the top spot for sports fans.” It offers a unique space for fans to forge strong seasonal bonds.” Major sports leagues see a big chance to reach global audiences on Reddit.
