Who it's for

Two sides of the same conversation.

Brands get measurable presence inside communities they couldn't reach before. Communities get partnerships that feel native, and a real revenue stream.

For brands

Get in the conversation. Built to fit.

Reactive briefs in as little as 10 days. Or always-on partnerships that compound across the year. Either way, native formats only we can run, in the rooms that shape how brands get found.

  • AMAs, mod-led threads and native posts in communities you cannot reach alone
  • Reactive briefs or always-on retainer, scoped to your calendar
  • Brand lift and AI citation tracking on every campaign
  • Direct mod and creator relationships, four years deep

What we build

Four ways in.

Distribution, expertise and first-party audience data, packaged into activations communities actually want.

Strategy

Translate a brief into a community-native idea, not a banner.

02

Network

Direct relationships with 500+ community publishers. Vetted.

03

04

Measure

Brand lift. Clicks, actions, sentiment. Real reporting.

Why Discord & Reddit

This is where real conversations happen.

Not feeds. Not followers. Communities. The places where people are truly themselves, talking about the things they actually care about.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is Wildfire?

Wildfire is a paid community media company that runs brand engagement campaigns inside opted-in Discord servers and Reddit communities. We provide end-to-end campaign delivery with independent brand lift measurement on every campaign.

How does community media work?

Brands submit a brief, we match them with relevant communities from our 500+ publisher network, co-create native content (quizzes, polls, giveaways, events), and measure results with independent brand lift studies. Content is delivered by trusted community managers in their own voice.

How do you measure results?

Every campaign includes independent brand lift measurement through our ThisThat partnership, scored against industry digital ad benchmarks. We measure awareness, familiarity, favourability, consideration and action intent. No extra cost, any budget level. We also track clicks and conversions, and can optimise campaigns to performance goals, not just brand lift and engagement.

What verticals do you cover?

We work across tech (Intel, Samsung), entertainment (Netflix, Paramount, A24), gaming (Blizzard, NCSOFT), QSR/CPG (7-Eleven, Jack in the Box), lifestyle (Nike, L'Oreal) and finance (Robinhood, Paysafe). Our community network spans every major interest category.

How long does a campaign take?

Most campaigns are live within 10 working days unless there are custom content builds or other higher-lift requirements. Campaigns generally run for 2-4 weeks as they function more like community events than ads that appear and disappear. We handle strategy, community selection, creative production, delivery and reporting end-to-end.

Do you work with agencies?

Yes. Agencies use Wildfire to add community media to broader campaigns. We handle execution, you keep the client relationship. White-label reporting, flexible scoping, and a team that understands your planning cycle.
