Marketers Explore Metaverse Worlds
Decentraland and the Sandbox have scored the attention of well-known brands.
Marketers looking to connect with consumers in the virtual world have been exploring two popular metaverse platforms.
Well-known brands including Miller Lite and Gucci have planted flags in the Sandbox and Decentraland, platforms where digital real estate has sold for millions of dollars.
Marketers buy or rent digital space from the platforms or third parties, including a growing crop of metaverse development companies that have acquired desirable locations.
Marketers also see potential for new revenue streams in the metaverse, such as renting digital land that they own to other brands or selling digital collectibles known as non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, to consumers.
Molson Coors Beverage Co. promoted its Miller Lite brand in a campaign around this year’s Super Bowl by opening Meta Lite Bar, a virtual tavern, on a digital parcel in Decentraland. It rented the space from TerraZero Technologies Inc., a metaverse development company, for an undisclosed amount.
At the Meta Lite Bar, patrons could pour themselves a virtual beer, chat with other users and play a preselected tune from a jukebox. Patrons could also pick up Miller Lite digital NFTs such as a “Meta Lite” T-shirt for their avatars, the company said.
