Step 1: Choose how you’d like to register

You can kick off account registration one of three ways:

• If you have an existing Reddit account and would like to run ads from this username, you can sign up your existing account for Reddit Ads.
  Note: Karma won’t affect your ad performance.
  Note: If your Reddit account is set to Not Safe For Work (NSFW), you’ll need to change your account to SFW before you can advertise.
• Sign up with an existing Google account.
• If you’ve never used Reddit before and need an account, or you want to create a separate advertising username from your personal account, you can do that directly from https://accounts.reddit.com/adsregister.

Step 2: Enter company details & sign up

Now let’s get you into to your Ads Manager:

1. Go to Reddit Ads
   Note: If you want to register your existing Reddit username for an ads account, make sure you’re logged in to this username on Reddit before opening ads.reddit.com. That way, your existing account info will pull into the registration form, and you can skip ahead to step 4. If you’re not signed in to the username you want to register for Reddit Ads, you can also select Log In at the bottom of ads.reddit.com.
2. Enter your email
   Note: We’ll use this email to send you important notifications about your Ads account. You’ll also need to verify this email address before running any ads.
3. Enter a company username
   Important: Unless you’ve signed up via Google or Apple SSO, you won’t be able to edit your username after you create it. All users will be able to see it, and it will appear on the ads you create.
   Some tips:
   • A username needs to be 3-20 characters long and can only contain letters A-Z and numbers 0-9.
   • Username already taken? Try adding the word “official” or an underscore (SmithsBooksOfficial or Smiths_Books).
   • If your brand has a trademarked name that’s already claimed, please submit our Trademark Violation Form and we’ll look into it.
4. If you’re creating a new Reddit Ads account, enter a secure password.
   Note: For additional security, you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) after you sign up.
5. Enter your first and last name.
6. Enter a legal business name.
   Note: This is the name that will appear on your Reddit Ads Receipt.
7. Enter your business website (optional).
8. If you work with or at an advertising agency, select I work with or at an advertising agency.
9. Select the industry that best describes your business.
10. Select the country where you’re located, and the currency you’d like to use to pay for your ads.
    Note: Reddit Ads currently supports USD, AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, and NZD. Currency for your ad account cannot be changed.
11. Enter your business phone number and select if you’d like to receive calls from Reddit to get help managing your account and to hear about news and opportunities. Note: you can always request to have your phone number removed at any time by submitting a ticket to our support team here, and selecting ‘Account Issues’ as the case reason. 
12. Select Finish.

Now you can access your Reddit Ads Manager anytime, and you’re ready to prep your account for your first campaign.

<script>
rdt('track', 'EventName');
</script>
