Mark Zuckerberg and the Metaverse, what does it mean? For those of you that are new to this, as most people are, the metaverse is best defined as an immersive virtual environment that users can communicate, purchase from, and interact with. The metaverse includes platforms such as virtual gaming, digital assets. As explained by Mark Zuckerberg, "It's a virtual environment where you can be present with people in digital spaces… you can kind of think about this as an embodied internet that you're inside of rather than just looking at. We believe that this is going to be the successor to the mobile internet”. The metaverse is new uncharted territory with the potential to open a myriad of new ways to advertise. Brands can create immersive 360 ads, interactive product models to “hold” and “try on”, virtual stores, the possibilities are endless. These ads intertwine with the intended platform in a way that turns the advertisement into an entertaining experience.

The metaverse has a projected growth in overall market size of almost 44% for the next seven years, and even an estimated market size of $1.5 trillion by 2030 by PwC. With the metaverse comes all sorts of related terms such as NFT’s and cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency can be traded or exchanged, making them fungible.
