In that announcement, Mark Zuckerberg talked about their planned role in the metaverse. Now that the dust is beginning to settle, it&#8217;s time to ask &#8220;What is the metaverse?&#8221; and explore how businesses and brands are seeking to adapt and capitalise.<\/p>\n<p>In the most fundamental sense, the metaverse is a collection of 3D virtual worlds designed to foster social interaction. The word is frequently used in futurism and science fiction to represent a potential manifestation of the internet as a single, universal environment accessed via virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). The term was first used in the sci-fi novel Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson, in 1992.<\/p>\n<p>Now, 30 years after that book was written, we&#8217;re seeing some real aspects of the metaverse begin to take shape. One of the most obvious industries being affected by the metaverse is financial services. We&#8217;re seeing early metaverse communities introducing new cryptocurrencies like Decantraland (MANA), Solana (SOL), and Sandbox (SAND). These crypotcurrencies, among others, have a market capitalisation of billions, demonstrating the real impact crypto has on today&#8217;s financial markets\u2014and on the future of the metaverse, as well. These coins are even giving the other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum a run for their money.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/Ch7bEcIsZJHWxTClUl\" width=\"652\" height=\"366\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/facebook-meta-metaverse-Ch7bEcIsZJHWxTClUl\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Some consumer brands have begun their entry into the metaverse, with varying levels of depth. Nike has begun its experimentation in the popular game Roblox, setting up the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.nike.com\/news\/http-news-nike-com-how-nikes-turning-play-into-a-lifestyle-for-kids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NIKELAND<\/a> environment. Adidas has begun an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adidas.com\/us\/metaverse\">NFT (non-fungible token) marketplace<\/a> offering both digital and physical goods and experiences. Fashion retailer H&amp;M, meanwhile, may have also opened its first store in the metaverse CEEK City, though this was quickly denied just a couple days later.<\/p>\n<section data-role=\"forward-email-subscription-container\" class=\"full-width w-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center bg-c7f2b3\">\n    \n    <div class=\"max-w-1400 w-100 form\">\n        <div class=\"text-content-container\">\n            <h2>\n                Stay Forward            <\/h2>\n            <p class=\"subtitle\">\n                Get exclusive insights into digital <br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\">media's top-trending topics delivered<br class=\"d-none d-lg-block\"> directly to your inbox.            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n\n        <div data-role=\"form-group\">\n            <div class=\"d-flex flex-column w-100\">\n                <form data-forward-email-form class='custom-hubspot-form' id='hubspot_form_69dd117b272d4'>\n    <div class='d-flex input'>\n        <input type='email' class='form-control me-2 input' placeholder='Email address' aria-label='Email' name='email' required>\n        <button type='submit' class='btn_primary-filled_white'>Submit\n<\/button>\n    <\/div>\n    <p class='hubspot-status'><\/p>\n<\/form>\n<script>\njQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n    var form = $('#hubspot_form_69dd117b272d4');\n    form.on('submit', function(event) {\n        event.preventDefault();\n\n        \/\/ Get email input value\n        var emailInput = form.find('input[name=\"email\"]');\n        var email = emailInput.val().trim();\n\n        \/\/ Required HubSpot fields\n        var portalId = '5408011';\n        var formId = 'cafa8eb8-dd43-46cc-bec7-9f87e85b1bdb';\n\n        \/\/ Prepare the data payload\n        var data = {\n            fields: [\n                {\n                    name: 'email',\n                    value: email\n                }\n            ],\n            context: {\n                pageUri: window.location.href,\n                pageName: document.title\n            },\n            submittedAt: new Date().getTime()\n        };\n\n        \/\/ Get the status element for this form\n        var statusElement = form.siblings('.forward-email-status-container');\n\n        \/\/ Send the data to HubSpot\n        fetch('https:\/\/api.hsforms.com\/submissions\/v3\/integration\/submit\/5408011\/cafa8eb8-dd43-46cc-bec7-9f87e85b1bdb', {\n            method: 'POST',\n            headers: {\n                'Content-Type': 'application\/json'\n            },\n            body: JSON.stringify(data)\n        })\n        .then(response => {\n            if (response.ok) {\n                if(statusElement) {\n                    statusElement.text('Thanks for Subscribing!');\n                    statusElement.css('color', 'green');\n                }\n\n                var userInfo = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('userInfo'));\n                if (userInfo) {\n                    userInfo.event = 'Form_submit';\n                    userInfo.email = email;\n                    userInfo.form_name = 'Newsletter';\n                    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];\n                    window.dataLayer.push(userInfo);\n                }\n\n                emailInput.val(''); \/\/ Clear the email field\n                window.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('newsletter-submit'));\n            } else {\n                return response.json().then(error => {\n                    if(statusElement) {\n                        statusElement.text('Error: ' + error.message);\n                        statusElement.css({\n                            'color': 'red',\n                            'padding-top': '10px'\n                        });\n                    }\n                });\n            }\n        })\n        .catch(error => {\n            console.error('Error:', error);\n            statusElement.text(\"There was an error submitting the form.\");\n            statusElement.css({\n                'color': 'red',\n                'padding-top': '10px'\n            });\n        });\n    });\n\n    window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {\n        const isFormCallback = event.data.type === 'hsFormCallback';\n        const isFormSubmitted = event.data.eventName === 'onFormSubmitted';\n        const iscurrentForm = !!event?.data?.id ?

The announcement came complete with a virtual reality dance party, and Samsung is now plotting exactly how to tell its brand stories in evermore innovative and engaging ways. Indeed, many brands are beginning to realise the value of blending the real world with the metaverse\u2014and not only in cryptos and NFTs:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The metaverse appears set to transform several sectors through wearables; devices that transport users to a separate virtual world from the comfort of their own homes. In the future, these digital worlds will become more and more immersive, but are already available for use today with wearable devices such as Oculus.<\/li>\n<li>Education will expand into new, more interactive forms. Students will be able to work through courses and modules at their own pace, interact with tutors and peers in more meaningful ways, and expand their horizons beyond what is currently achievable with standard syllabi.<\/li>\n<li>After-work activities such as going to the movies or simply hanging with friends will be possible in the virtual world. Virtual concerts and other mass-participation events are already being experimented with.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In short, the metaverse&#8217;s potential to impact your marketing strategies is endless. It will become a place where a huge spectrum of activities, businesses, and even entire economies will co-exist, blending the real world with a digital, virtual world that will continually iterate towards its next version.<\/p>\n<p>Want to know more?
