Can you promote in r/agency?

This is a community for agency owners and freelancers in the digital marketing space by agency owners. Help us make this community the go-to resource for peer-to-peer agency growth and connections!

The short answer

Do not promote your company or product; provide helpful, non-commercial answers and avoid asking for DMs or posting solicitations.

What works here

  • Answer questions with non-promotional, helpful information
  • Link to contextually relevant free resources (not landing pages) when clearly helpful
  • Post about hiring only with moderator approval

What gets posts removed

  • Pitching products, services, or requesting customers/leads
  • Asking users to DM you or sending unsolicited DMs
  • Posting surveys, feedback requests, or recruitment without approval
  • Self-promotional histories or astroturfing behavior
