Vishal Jacob, Chief Digital Officer, Wavemaker – GroupM said-“At Wavemaker we have set up a team to help brands navigate through the Metaverse as it provides for a far more engaging way for brands to connect with consumers. Brands will now need to redefine the rules of engagement. For instance, engaging with Avatars rather than people and story making rather than story telling. The TCPL Holi celebration in the Metaverse is a good example of that”.
