EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE METAVERSE
A network of 3D virtual worlds that is very similar to the real world? That’s so meta! It’s also called the metaverse.
The term metaverse is thrown around in all conversations today and to most it is a foreign new concept just like the internet was in the 1970s. Understating the metaverse and its immense possibilities hence becomes just as difficult and almost unbelievable.
But the fact remains, the metaverse will be the future of all social interactions, marketplaces, and whatnot. As marketers, it’s very important to understand this universe where all your brands and products could exist other than the real world.
So let’s dive into understanding the metaverse one little thing or shall we say one little verse at a time!

Most people describe the metaverse as the future of the internet. But what is it exactly? A video-game? A very awkward way to hang out? Just a more immersive version of a zoom call? Well, it can be any of these but also none.
Metaverse is the internet in person or just rendered in 3D. It is a virtual environment for virtual communities to meet up, work, and play with the use of the latest VR and AR technologies.

Your best guess is Mark Zuckerberg, right? Well not really. While gaming companies are the ones that have developed the kind of technologies that are required in the metaverse there are no fixed gatekeepers. This raises the question about the safety of the metaverse.
Safety can be established when specific moderators look over the whole community and ensure its well-being. The metaverse being fairly new, has no set protocols in place to guarantee its safety or provide additional security.

The metaverse can help improve the economy and make it more crypto-based, provide fair incentives and also help monetize content better in the virtual world.
It can also make you very rich, virtually and in reality.
That being said, you need to perform thorough research when you invest into the metaverse and not just go along with it because you’re suffering from meta- FOMO.
The metaverse, if actualized to its complete potential, can be a great marketplace for advertisers to directly reach their consumers and provide them with an immersive experience.
