Most B2B marketers are missing a goldmine of audience insights hiding in plain sight. While everyone flocks to LinkedIn, 68% of Reddit users aren't even on the platform—meaning there's a massive chunk of your audience having authentic conversations about their real problems elsewhere.
Deep tech CMO Kiersten Gaffney has cracked the code on mining Reddit for content that actually converts. In this episode, she reveals her systematic approach to turning Reddit threads into pillar content that resonates with technical audiences.
What You'll Learn:
- The Reddit advantage: Why Reddit conversations are more honest and actionable than other social platforms
- Kiersten's listening workflow: Her exact process using tools like Octolens to track keywords across Reddit, Hacker News, and other platforms
- AI-powered content creation: How she uses Claude and ChatGPT strategically—one for research, one for writing—to turn insights into content
