Alt Marketing School is a newsletter and podcast teaching marketers how to market to hearts, not brains. Using psychology, impact and the latest frameworks to help you make a bigger impact online.
Happy Friday Reader, should have been keeping an eye on TikTok all of this time?
Despite various challenges, including a US Government push to ban the app, the latest download stats from App Annie underline the enduring popularity of TikTok, which continues on its march to becoming the next billion-user social app.
In the meantime, Clubhouse scrambles for attention as it introduces direct payments on the platform - is the app truly build to stay?
As Facebook's NPE has launched a beta test of 'Hotline', a web-based app that incorporates the engagement features of Clubhouse with more visual and text tools, including optional video streaming for hosts and speakers, and LinkedIn and Twitter are coming at it strong, Clubhouse's future is still a mystery 🔮
Join us today on Clubhouse (I know the irony) to discuss and talk through all the news from the past week. Trust me, there is a LOT to unpack.
