Report: How to measure brand success in the metaverse
Brands are thinking about the metaverse in the wrong way. Why? Because the way we scale and engage new communities is changing.
Traditional channels engage traditional audiences, but brands that are serious about reaching new audiences are putting the metaverse at the heart of their marketing strategies, today.
Take Gucci, Roblox and the virtual bag that re-sold at a higher price than its real-life counterpart. These brands are winning in the metaverse because they see it for what it is: A new communication vertical that demands a long-term strategy.
Winning brands also recognise that the advertising model has changed. We’re moving from in-game advertising - which, like any form of media buying, is a cost to the business - to creator economies where the sale of digital goods is at the heart of revenue generation.
