Reddit launches a free-form ad generator in beta

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Reddit's new generator builds free-form ads from real community conversations: you provide your website, media, and context, and its Community Intelligence produces a brand summary, audience insights, and ad concepts, with drafts informed by KarmaLab best practices. Free-form ads have delivered twice the CTR of standard formats since 2024, with Canada Goose seeing a 10.5-point ad awareness lift and the UK Department for Transport a 14-point action intent lift.
