Read on to discover how your brand can thrive in the virtual world of metaverse.
The term metaverse has transitioned from being the new buzzword to a staple marketing topic across industries. While its definitions range from a “successor state to the mobile internet” (hello, Mark Zuckerberg!) to a “platform for human leisure, labor and existence at large,” there seem to be two cut-off points that have reached a consensus:
-
The metaverse is a virtual world where users can interact with each other, brands, events and games, using avatars or personas.
-
The metaverse will transform our lives.
Brands doing it right
Innovator brands are already staking a claim in the metaverse. In 2021, Gucci launched its Gucci Garden immersive exhibition, becoming one of the first brands to enter and sell virtual products in the metaverse. In 2022, another luxury house Dolce & Gabbana made history by selling the first-ever NFT collection at the first Metaverse Fashion Week.
Crossing the bridge between physical and digital, McDonald’s pioneered its virtual restaurant featuring real home delivery. In particular, real-world hungry players could have their avatars stop by and pay at a virtual McD’s and get the food delivered to their very real front door.
Entering the digital world to heal the real one, Lavazza rolled out its Lavazza Arena, where you can reforest playing football. The more you play, the more trees the brand plants in the Amazon rainforest. Yes, the real one.
