The metaverse could potentially become the next major technological market, as it attracts various industries and a wide range of clientele. Generally, the metaverse is a term used to describe a highly immersive 3D virtual world experience obtained through the use of a mixture of technologies such as AR, VR, and MR (mixed reality).

Although widespread utilization of the metaverse and the opportunities it provides may take some time, leading brands are already using the technology to rewrite the rules of marketing. According to a report by McKinsey, “the metaverse is best characterized as an evolution of today’s internet—it is something we are immersed in instead of something we look at. It may realize the promise of vast digital worlds to parallel our physical ones. For marketers, the metaverse represents an opportunity to engage consumers in entirely new ways while pushing internal capabilities and brand innovation in new directions.”
