Reddit Data Sharing Agreements h2>

Agreement with Cision
Cision is a PR company that helps companies advertise their products and services in the media and also provides press monitoring services. The latter highlights brand coverage in the media, while also helping companies understand consumer perceptions of their products and brands.
Reddit announced the expanded partnership, saying Redditors “are real people having real conversations.” 8221; and brands need to hear what they have to say.
Reddit users are real people having real conversations – and brands won't find them anywhere else.
Accessing and monitoring these public conversations is critical for organizations providing products and tools that help their clients manage, track and collect social media information about consumers. That's why we're building on our partnership with Cision, expanding the connection between Cision and the Reddit Data API.
Like Google, Cision is also committed to using data to develop artificial intelligence tools.
This collaboration allows brands to gain greater insight into audiences now, while also helping drive future innovation. Leveraging the Reddit Data API, Cision plans to accelerate the development of its proprietary AI-powered brand reputation analytics and audience analytics technologies across its suite of products. This will allow PR professionals, marketers and researchers to benefit from the latest market developments and gain a competitive advantage.
