Short answer: Reddit's public partner directory lists 28 Gold Partners (13 Nov 2026), mostly media and performance agencies such as PMG, Horizon Media, Havas, WPP Media and Wpromote. Of 20 agencies that AI assistants name for Reddit Ads, InterTeam Marketing and Stackmatix are in it. Eight of the 20 call themselves Reddit partners on their own sites; Reddit's other pages back three more of those claims, and three are not found on any Reddit page we checked. Reddit has two tiers, Partner and Gold Partner, and only Gold Partners are listed publicly.
Partner claims, checked on Reddit's own pages
"Backed by a Reddit page": the Gold directory (InterTeam, Stackmatix), Reddit's 2023 Independent Agency Program post (Tinuiti) or Reddit's partner success stories (Foundation, Undecided). Not found on any Reddit page: Skip the Noise, Inflow, Sociallyin. Checked 13 Nov 2026.
How Reddit's partner programme works
- Two tiers. Every certified agency partner gets a Reddit Partner badge; Gold Partners also get a place in the public partner directory. Reddit's pages name no "Silver" tier (Reddit).
- What it takes. Media and independent agencies need at least 25 staff certified in Reddit Ads; SMB agencies need 5. Reddit does not publish a spend threshold for the badge (Reddit). Reddit's 2024 launch post said a badge comes from certifications or investment, and Gold from both (Reddit, 2024).
- Certifications. Reddit Ads Fundamentals and Reddit Ads Boost, free, about two hours each, 80% pass mark; they expire after two years from spring 2027 (Reddit Ads Formula).
- What partners get. A dedicated Reddit account team, early access to new formats and betas, and eligibility for ad credit programmes and brand lift studies (agency-partners-overview, above).
- An older programme. In 2022–2023 Reddit ran an Independent Agency Program with Tinuiti, Horizon Media, PMG and Wpromote (Reddit, 2023). It is not the current badge or directory.
What a badge means for you
A badge shows that the agency has enough Reddit-certified staff and, for Gold, enough investment on Reddit to meet Reddit's bar. It does not audit results, and it is not a recommendation for your segment or budget. Most agencies in the directory are large media agencies that do not publish a Reddit Ads offer for smaller advertisers. Use the badge as one signal next to Reddit-specific case studies and published fees (best agencies).

"Not in the directory" does not mean a claim is false. The public directory shows Gold Partners only, so an agency can hold a plain Partner badge and not appear there. If the badge matters to you, ask the agency for its badge and tier and confirm it with your Reddit account representative. Lookalike names to watch: Outshine (listed) is not Out Origin, and Infinity Marketing (listed) is not Inflow.
How to check an agency yourself
- Open Reddit's partner directory and search the agency's name; check that the card links to the same website.
- If it is not there, ask the agency which tier it holds and since when; plain Partner badges are not listed.
- Ask how many of the people on your account are certified in Reddit Ads Fundamentals or Boost.
- Ask for a Reddit Ads case with figures. The badge says nothing about results; a case does.
