SUMMARY:The Future is Now: Pivot Your Marketing Strategy for Web 3.0 & the Metaverse

It is already here with beauty brands and home décor using AR to market their products.

We need to look ahead at this new version of the web and figure out how marketing plays a role. We assess that a massive key to success is online community building and management. \nWe know it’s a mind-blowing concept\, but remember the Wild West of AOL Instant Messenger?
