What is Metaverse?

In general, we define the term Metaverse as the combination of the prefix meta, which in Greek means "beyond," and the suffix verso, derived from the word universe. Therefore, we understand that the metaverse is basically "beyond the universe," or a virtual universe, beyond the "real" world—an ideal term, therefore, to conceptualize a totally decentralized environment that can be accessed by any device, from anywhere in the world. It is worth mentioning that the term was originally coined in 1992 by the writer Neal Stephenson.


Thus, the concept of the metaverse is not limited to entertainment, games, or social networks , but also applies to true infrastructures, which may include virtual land and other important assets. Furthermore, the metaverse does not belong to any specific company or corporation. This means that users are completely free to access it whenever they want. All they need is a device connected to the internet.


However, the metaverse is not a relatively new concept. It has already been widely used, for example, in the film industry, such as in the films Matrix (2001), Habbo Hotel (2000) and even the film Second Life, released in 2003. They all portray this virtual world with augmented reality, being This is precisely the proposal of the metaverse.


In 2021, however, it gained even more prominence after Mark Zuckerberg, founder and president of Facebook , announced that the company would change its name to Meta and focus its efforts on exploring this new frontier of the metaverse.

How to enter the metaverse?

We already know what it is about, as well as some of the possibilities and benefits that the metaverse can generate. However, we need to understand how we can enter this new universe, especially brands and companies, in order to have more opportunities to expand the reach and authority of their brand or business through this virtual reality.


To do this, there are some steps necessary to enter the metaverse. Let's check it out:

1. Create an avatar

First of all, the first step is to create a digital avatar . There are platforms that already allow you to view a more complete panel to customize your virtual representation, where such representations can be simply invented or based on real components of your brand.

2. Have a virtual environment to access

After creating your virtual representation, it's time to access the environment. In Decentraland, for example, the user who enters the platform is directed to Genesis Plaza, which is basically a “north” to teleport to other spaces and meet other avatars. Some examples of platforms that already provide metaverse environments are: Horizon Venues, Horizon Worlds, AltspaceVR, VRChat, Rec Room, among others.

3. Meet new people

Having representation of your brand and a place to access the metaverse, it's time to explore and meet people. This is the ideal time to meet new users, promote the brand's solutions and look for people who are more likely to be interested in learning even more about your offers and products.


Not to mention that, in addition to networking, the fact of being in a totally innovative space, allows you to create and innovate even more in your marketing and sales strategies.

4. Participate in events

In general, we can see that in the metaverse, entertainment-related experiences are being deliberately used in order to increase popularity and enjoy the interaction benefits of the metaverse. As an example, we can currently find extremely famous artists performing shows, in real time, only for users who access the platform responsible for the event.


So, be sure to research the best platforms to access. The more events, the more opportunities to promote your brand, and thus expand your possibilities.

What is the relationship between marketing and the metaverse?

Since we're talking about a virtual environment where users can exchange efficient experiences, the same applies to brands. Soon, people will be able to consume services and products in these virtual environments, as well as participate in events offered by the brand itself.


Thinking about this new scenario, we can see countless marketing possibilities, and even new forms of interaction between companies and consumers.


In other words, in the metaverse, it is not enough to just offer good products. It is necessary to offer a totally new and different experience for each person — since there will be no physical limits. Therefore, companies will be able to communicate with their audience in a new and creative way, moving away from traditional and obsolete concepts.


Furthermore, we also have the possibility of co-creating new products and services. This is because the way of consuming offers will be even more dynamic and, why not, fun. Therefore, one of the expectations for digital marketing within this new universe that the metaverse will bring is based on co-creation.


In short, we are talking about the possibility of achieving direct public participation in company actions, whether in the introduction of new solutions, forms of dissemination, among other processes, allowing the generation of metrics and insights so that brands understand what actually is it working and what can be improved to boost sales and business.
