Highlights
00:15 — This episode is sponsored by Community Summit North America, which will take place October 10-13 in Orlando, Florida.
00:43 — In a recent press release, Lavazza Coffee Company announced that it has officially entered the Metaverse but not with coffee. The Italian coffee company is launching a football-inspired video game to raise awareness about the environmental impact of deforestation, attempting to reach young people.
01:21 — This attempt seems rather short-sighted. Video games, introducing your brand to the Metaverse, and raising environmental awareness don’t necessarily work well together — especially when it’s a football-inspired video game raising deforestation awareness under the brand of a coffee label.
02:16 — Kieron considers this a prime example of an organization jumping into the Metaverse, trying to show intent and a forward-thinking mentality with technology. However, without a specific focus, there isn’t a clear use case or brand connection.
02:46 — Kieron asks: In what ways is this method beneficial? How does it boost the brand?
