For marketing teams
Reddit intelligence for the whole team — not just the intern who checks Reddit
Your customers share honest opinions on Reddit every day. Makna captures those conversations and delivers insights your entire team can act on.
Your agency reports “positive engagement.” Here's what the data actually shows.
Agency weekly report
- Reddit engagement: Positive
- 5 brand mentions identified
- Community sentiment: Stable
What Makna shows
- 47 mentions across 12 subreddits — agency found 5
- 73% of mentions in r/running are comparison threads — you're losing to Brooks on cushioning
- Sentiment dropped 8 points since the price increase announcement
- u/marathon_pro (12K karma, 3 posts about you) switched to a competitor publicly
Same week. Same brand. Two very different stories. Makna shows you the one that matters.
Why does your agency only find 5 of 47 mentions?
Reddit's anonymous, community-moderated structure creates a candor mechanism that generic tools don't understand. 70% of AI-cited Reddit posts have fewer than 20 comments (Semrush). These quiet threads carry no engagement signals, so agencies and traditional tools skip right past them. But AI models don't. They index the honest, low-traffic conversations where real opinions live. Learn how Reddit shapes AI recommendations →
Marketing teams shouldn't have to guess what Reddit thinks
- One person checks Reddit, mentions something in standup — insight dies there
- Campaign launched, but no way to measure if Reddit sentiment shifted
- Content calendar based on keyword tools, not real customer conversations
- Weekly digests keep every team member aligned on Reddit sentiment
- Before/after sentiment charts prove campaign impact with real data
- 12 issue categories reveal what customers actually talk about
