About
Whether you’re actively using Reddit or still deciding if you should, your customers already made the choice.

Buyer behaviors have shifted. Search traffic has declined. The customer journey is fragmented.

Decision-making has moved to places where we marketers no longer control the narrative.

This session shows how modern teams are using Reddit as a strategic, measurable channel in 2026, whether you’re starting from zero or scaling an existing presence.

Reddit didn’t get harder. It got smarter.

Reddit is now one of the most influential touchpoints in the modern buyer’s journey, but the platform has changed faster than most marketers realize. You'll learn how karma and authority mechanics shifted, how brands are navigating representation without astroturfing accusations, why owned subreddits became essential infrastructure, and where Reddit actually fits in the customer journey with trackable influence.

In this session, Brent Csutoras, founder of OGS Media (and Owner of SEJ), breaks down what shifted between 2025 and 2026, and how successful brands are adapting without triggering backlash.

Learn how Reddit actually influences customers and how to measure it.

You’ll leave with updated frameworks based on what’s working now, not recycled Reddit lore.

You’ll learn:
