IGLOOO Inc. Achieves Official Advertising Partner Certification for "Reddit," the World's Largest Community Platform

IGLOOO Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Rei Kobayashi; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the "Sales Partner Badge" by Reddit, the world's largest community platform.

This badge is awarded to advertising partners who have achieved excellent results for their clients by utilizing Reddit's advertising solutions, recognizing the Company's expertise and track record in managing Reddit advertising.

What is Reddit?

Reddit is an online community platform used by over 500 million users worldwide.

It hosts hundreds of thousands of communities (Subreddits) covering topics such as travel, gourmet food, technology, anime, gaming, and finance, where users exchange information based on their interests.

In recent years, it has also gained attention as a source of information referenced by search engines and generative AI, and as a highly effective method for SEO and AIO, it is increasingly establishing itself as a platform that significantly influences purchasing and travel destination decisions, particularly in Western countries.

Why is Reddit Gaining Attention for Inbound Promotion Now?

Traditionally, overseas tourism promotion has primarily focused on awareness expansion measures centered on search ads and social media ads. However, in recent years, travelers have increasingly prioritized "experiences from actual visitors" and "third-party evaluations" over official websites and advertisements.

Reddit hosts numerous communities related to travel in Japan, which are used for information gathering and itinerary planning before trips. Through repeated questions and answers among travelers, valuable information is shared that is difficult to convey through official channels, such as the appeal of tourist destinations, access methods, crowd conditions, and unique local experiences.

Against this backdrop, Reddit is gaining attention not just as an advertising medium, but also as an insight platform for understanding the interests and behaviors of overseas travelers. It is particularly well-suited for inbound initiatives that deeply convey regional attractions, such as attracting visitors to rural areas, promoting high-value travel, and experiential tourism.

What is the Sales Partner Badge?

The Sales Partner Badge is one of the official advertising partner certifications by Reddit, awarded to companies with high expertise and a proven track record in proposing and managing Reddit advertising.

This certification demonstrates not only a deep understanding of the Reddit advertising platform but also the ability to design appropriate advertising strategies for clients' marketing challenges and achieve results. It also evaluates the ability to understand the characteristics of Reddit communities and utilize advertising to create natural touchpoints with users.

Value Gained Through Certification

The Company has long provided solutions utilizing Reddit advertising to its clients. With this official certification from Reddit, we will continue to provide further value as follows:

Leveraging Expertise in Reddit Advertising:

Our Support for Reddit Utilization

The Company has been providing digital marketing support for overseas markets, with a focus on inbound promotion for Japan.

Leveraging our understanding of overseas users cultivated through the operation of our own inbound media for Europe, North America, and Australia, "VOYAPON," and our expertise in multilingual content creation, social media management, and influencer marketing, we support overseas promotion for local governments, tourism operators, and private companies.

In recent years, we have also focused on marketing support utilizing Reddit to respond to changes in information gathering behavior among potential travelers in Western countries, and this certification is a recognition of those efforts.

Future Outlook

Moving forward, the Company will continue to promote support for Japanese companies doing business overseas, not only for Japan's regional and tourism resources but also through cross-border e-commerce, by leveraging overseas platforms like Reddit and capitalizing on their strong influence on shopping behavior in English-speaking markets, particularly the US.

Furthermore, we will deepen our expertise in insight analysis of overseas users and community marketing within the inbound market, contributing to our clients' global expansion and the creation of inbound demand.
