Create experiences that are simple, measurable and add value - Osato Evbuomwan
According to Osato, brands must craft a memorable, immersive, seamless, and adaptive experience that remains ingrained in consumers' lives. In her insightful view, consumer engagement should go beyond the ordinary, transcending the mundane to offer an encounter that is truly unforgettable. This, she believes, entails a journey that is not only pleasurable but also valuable, enriching the lives of consumers in meaningful ways.
A Bright Horizon for Nigerian Brands
As we reflect on the insightful discussions from our thought leaders, it becomes clear that the digital world is evolving rapidly and brands need to be at the forefront of innovation to give their consumers immersive experiences. The Metaverse is no exception as a whole lot of things are happening in this universe, and many brands do not exist yet in this universe. As the Brandchat session illuminated, the Metaverse is an uncharted territory filled with immense possibilities. However, success in this domain demands a blend of strategy, understanding of your brand and its consumers, and innovation.
Metaverse is not just another marketing platform. It’s an evolutionary, quantum leap towards the future of brand and customer interaction. It presents a golden opportunity for Nigerian brands to leverage on this with our rich tapestry of culture, tradition and innovation, Nigeria brands can be a leader in this new arena and create an engaging experience for their consumers.
As brands venture into crafting engrossing experiences for consumers, it's vital to establish a seamless connection between the Metaverse and our present reality. This ensures we retain a firm grasp on actuality amid the immersive journey.
