Ep 37: Matt Wurst

We recorded this episode with Matt Wurst roughly 2-mo ago. It was when Clubhouse was on fire and you could not ignore it. Matt has always been an early adopter and one to jump into things and have a POV quickly, so we wanted to talk to him about how he has been engaging on Clubhouse and the opportunities he sees. We then recorded some episodes we felt were more timely and we prioritized them before Matt’s episode. What has been interesting and not unusual is in the span of those weeks, Clubhouse has taken a dive and people who were hot on it weeks ago are sour on it now. We wanted to release this episode to highlight where things were weeks ago, compared to where they are now + Matt is a smart guy in our industry who we always enjoy catching up with. Matt Wurst was Managing Director, North America of Revelation, an agency that was acquired by Jellyfish at the beginning of 2021. He now has the role of VP, Global Clients with Jellyfish. We discussed: - Matt’s experience from being on Clubhouse from the beginning - How it started versus where it is now - How people can engage in Clubhouse - How COVID played into Clubhouse taking off. Or did it? - How Moderators of Clubhouse rooms can really strengthen the discussion - Who is the best competitor of Clubhouse -- Facebook? Twitter? - What interesting uses Matt has seen of Clubhouse or Twitter Spaces - Brands engaging in Clubhouse/audio - Matt’s career arc and what he’s up to these days with Jellyfish Matt on Twitter // https://twitter.com/mwurst __________ WNTBDT.com @ElliotGerard // @jonahballow // @keiths
