February 22, 2021

Wherever there are influencers, advertisers aren’t far behind. And Clubhouse is a hotbed of influencers right now. Currently there are around 2 million active weekly users on the app. Still, it does offer what every advertiser wants: a highly targeted group of influential individuals in one place. The trick now is to get advertisers actually involved. Several brands are already building a presence on the platform with their own profiles, including Milk Bar, Kool-Aid and news publishers like Politico. Read more below.

  • Not only is Clubhouse safe insofar as advertisers get to control who does the talking in the room, it's also the easiest way to market somewhere that clearly isn’t a place for hard sales — yet.
  • Everyone has suffered some form of mental health issue as a result of the pandemic. For c-suite executives, the burden of leading through it has taken its own toll.
  • For Digiday+ members, Crossmedia CEO Kamran Asghar discusses unbundling, transparency (or the lack thereof), and the need for brand and performance media to align.
  • Some approaches to Do Not Sell opt-out compliance under California's ambiguous privacy law are riskier than others, lawyers say.
  • McClatchy and Gannett's combined ad networks aim to make it easier for national brands to target local markets.
