OUR PRESENTATION

THE RISE OF THE METAVERSE: HOW IT WILL IMPACT DIGITAL PRODUCTION?

CREATIVE CONTENT WORKS X THE VERY GROUP

The metaverse as a concept is becoming increasingly popular, with Web3 technologies and personalised Virtual customer experiences being leveraged by brands. However, many people are still struggling to understand what the metaverse is and how it works. This presentation will provide a clear explanation of the metaverse, along with real-life examples of metaverse marketing campaigns, and a discussion of how the metaverse will impact retail and digital content production going forward.

Vlad Mulhem, Innovation & Technology Director, will also share five steps to build up to metaverse marketing, including CGI product marketing, AR, VR, and 360's, that brands can implement today.

Attendees will also get a chance to learn about The Very Group's virtual production through Looklet, as well as participate in a Q&A session with the speakers.
