Clubhouse, Super Bowl Ads and Visionaries Changing the Luxury World
Every so often, an app comes along that takes the social media world by storm.
Whether it be Google+, Meerkat, Blab and the most recent, Clubhouse, there always seems to be amazing opportunities to grow your business or brand right at your fingertips.
Right now it’s Clubhouse. And right now, you should probably be spending time on there. Even if it’s just to explore.
Voice give us something we’ve lost in a texting, tweeting, Instagramming, TikTok’ing world.
Emotion. Intention. Connection.
These are powerful communication factors. Ones that we’ve missed out on over the past year, but have been losing slowly as a society faster and faster since the smartphone and social media.
Enter Clubhouse.
Celebrities, rappers, CEO’s, and regular old folks like me jump into rooms to converse about anything and everything, from marketing, to sports, to love and more. There are even matchmaking rooms and “Bachelor” style shows.
For those that see the opportunity voice gives them, they spend more than their fair share of the day on the app.
I haven’t seen brands on the app with campaigns, but I envision a place for customer service, community building and creative engagements not too far off, and likely being worked on as I type this.
Are you using Clubhouse? Have you seen a unique use case? Let me know. And give me a follow over there, I’m @vincenzo.

Better yet, they didn’t have to spend the $5 milli on a TV spot.
A shirtless Michael B. Jordan as Amazon’s assistant is the thirst trap we’re all A-ok with.
I love Will Ferrell. GM’s electric car push will be fun to watch, as Audi and Norway are responding.
I also am very much a big fan of Game of Thrones, so I’m big time in love with any Game of Thrones reference/crossover. Audi and Norway’s response to GM…

A Finger on Culture
Porsche and Tag Heuer announce Carrera Porsche Chronograph — www.autoblog.com
The Carrera Porsche Chronograph is the first product of a deeper brand partnership between long-time partners Porsche and Tag Heuer.
The TAG Heuer Carrera Porsche Chronograph embraces a dual identity that’s been decades in the making. It borrows queues from Porsche, using them to embellish the watch, but not beating us across the head with that crossover branding. The watch leverages TAG Heuer’s Calibre 02 automatic chronograph movement (history buffs will note that Heuer was one of a trio of companies that introduced an automatic chronograph to the world, simultaneously), and a 44mm case as the palette for understated nods to racing.
