r/content_marketing
Content marketers come to r/content_marketing for peer feedback on strategy, production and distribution, plus a steady run of requests for AI writing and video tools. The community's own description, as reproduced by two directory sites, says it is not a place to spam your blog, and one marketing guide reports that tools are tolerated when they come up inside a real workflow discussion. So a reply that points to your article is the wrong move; put the idea itself in the comment. A good pattern is to walk through the asker's process (brief, draft, edit, distribute) and mention a product only at the step where it helps, with your connection stated. Hiring threads and camera-gear questions are rarely the place for software.
