Reddit community advise

[lillygreen]

Hi all,
I acknowledge the power of reddit and would really like to use it as a tool for branding and brand exposure.
As a frequent redditor, I understand the delicate situation between marketers and reddit.
So here's my question: Should I be honest to say who I am when creating a subreddit (ex. fidelityinvestments: this is the official channel)
or should I pretend to be a random user of my brand's product to create a subreddit.

Currently I'm more opt for being honest and maybe even create a AMA thread.
However, none of my business competitors has try something like this (be honest), so please help me out.
thank you!!!
Any suggestions will be great! ))

Create your subreddit. Make a post in your Subreddit talking about your company/business.
Sticky the post in your subreddit.
Pin the post on your Reddit profile.

Be active in other related subreddits ( comments not posts).

People will browse to your profile and find your subreddit..

Another idea is to invite people to your community.

I'm sure they tried AMA on other peoples subreddit and got booted

It's better to be honest and create the sub from your account.

Honesty is usually the best policy on Reddit. Transparency helps build trust within the community. Creating an official channel and doing an AMA thread can show authenticity and openness, which Reddit users appreciate.

From the marketers view do the second thing. Make subreddit as a "client" not "CEO".
People love reviews and recommendations.
