In short, the Metaverse is a 3D virtual world, focused on creating connections. While the concept is not a new one, it has recently become a buzz word in the world of business; perhaps unsurprising considering the latest online trends and the acceleration of digital transformation.
The B2B sector has seen a huge shift in recent years towards a digital first approach. This is due to numerous factors including a profile change of the typical B2B decision maker, external factors including the pandemic, and increasing competition. The buyer journey is long, with the average journey taking over half a year. This therefore (whilst challenging) opens opportunities to create meaningful relationships throughout that journey to ensure you become a winning B2B brand.
