👋 Hey everyone, I’m Nikola, co-founder and CEO of Howitzer 👣 How we got here We built Howitzer trying to solve our own problem - marketing our previous startup on Reddit. In the summer of 2020, we were a team of three college students, trying to advertise our (now) previous startup. Being long-time Redditors, the community was our first choice as an acquisition channel. Our ideal customers were a group of 1.3 million people active across multiple subreddits, discussing about their problems and needs on a daily basis. Our application solved their problems and addressed their needs. We just needed them to see us. We thought running Reddit Ads would be our jackpot. When we tried running our first Reddit Ad, we failed. We were spending money but had ZERO conversions. Organically promoting our application wasn’t successful either, as everything we posted or commented on was classified as ‘self-promotion’ and was being deleted. All of our accounts got banned from those subreddits. Our ideal customers were in front of us - 1.3 million people talking about the problems and needs that our application addressed, but we weren’t able to reach them. That’s when we decided to think outside of the box. We wrote a simple script that scraped all of the Redditors that mentioned keywords related to our application and sent them Reddit messages initiating a conversation. When they replied, we continued the conversation and started converting them into customers. In less than 14 days, we had 2000+ downloads. It was nuts. We decided to ditch the application and turn our simple script into a full product. We code-named it ‘Howitzer’, as a playful reference to the Netflix show - ‘Suits’.
🌍 Where we are now We have become a team of eleven people, working on the vision we established a year ago. Our team is fully dedicated to enabling entrepreneurs, startups, and marketers to successfully utilize Reddit as a marketing channel.

@nikola_v Congrats guys! Good luck!

@kristof_szabo Thanks a lot Kristof!

@nikola_v Congrats!! :) Looks great! 🙌

@nikola_v congrats on a great product and the community you’ve built. We love having Howitzer as a part of our product and would recommend it to any marketer for Reddit outreach. 🚀

@kensavage Thanks a lot Ken, glad that you love our tool! 🚀

This looks borderline spammy. You're contacting users with unsolicited messages, that's not very acceptable.

@antiquesdecor Yes, any tool can be used for spam. We’re all Redditors ourselves and remain deeply committed to the health of the community. Howitzer has anti-spamming mechanisms built into the platform with more on our roadmap. Our community of educators teaches how to start meaningful conversations and most users report that those they connect with are grateful for their outreach. There will always be exceptions, but we will remain vigilant as we grow. Also, you’re welcome to join us in https://topia.io/reddit and chat more in person.

@antiquesdecor not borderline, it is spam. Unsolicited PMs is spamming and it's one of the default reporting options for reporting user spam.

@antiquesdecor Surprised (though not actually) that I had to go this far down to find this. Absolutely unacceptable - same level as SMS Spam.

@antiquesdecor @uxiomatic and they admit to using fake Reddit accounts to do so. This is embarrassing for ProductHunt

@antiquesdecor You can spam on almost any platform using any marketing tool. With Howitzer, you're not supposed to do cold blind outreach. You're supposed to target people who talk about problems you have a solution for. Yes, its outbound marketing, but not as cold as you'd think. I've used Howitzer in the past and speaking from experience.

In 2014, I went viral on Reddit for pranking my roommate with targeted Facebook ads. I got 450K pageviews in 72 hours and 38K backlinks in 30 days. Since then, I've been known as a "Reddit marketing expert" and pursued by countless startups to help them hack their growth. Everyone wants to do Reddit marketing, but very few understand the platform or the community. To truly make an impact, it takes empathy at scale. Howitzer for Reddit enables what our clients have wanted for so many years, and it does it beautifully. It's a lightweight way to do hyper-targeted and super personalized bulk messaging at a massive scale. We've been able to dramatically grow the reach of our client's offerings and our own. We've been able to grow our community with invitations to virtual events and meet some fantastic people in the process. Whether you're a long-time lurker or you're just creating an account, the Howitzer community (which includes us) can help you craft messages that make meaningful (and profitable) relationships. We can't recommend Howitzer enough, and we're grateful they've brought us on as their CMO. Join us in https://topia.io/reddit anytime today to talk about Reddit marketing. Congrats on the launch, @nikola_v and the Howitzer team. We can't wait to see what comes next! P.S. @alexisohanian would be proud

@alexisohanian @brianswichkow Thanks a lot for the nice words Brian! It's a pleasure working with you and having you as our CMO! Looking forward to much bigger successes! 🚀
