In this session, R3's Co-Founder and Principal, Greg Paull, will share how Clubhouse has combined key social platform trends to create the app for the next generation. Greg will also discuss the growth potential for the app, what this means for marketers, and how it stacks up against competitors like TikTok, Snapchat and Instagram.
