The future, they say, is here. And the boundaries between reality and imagination get blurrier by the day. What a time for brands to explore the largely unexplored territory of the metaverse!
Of course, exploring the uncharted territory of the metaverse in marketing is a challenging task. However, like several other brands taking marketing to the virtual world, Oreo has taken that all-important first step, creating an enticing blend of gaming and cookies. The result? OREOVERSE, an innovative meterverse experience that not only shapes our view on gaming and marketing but also delights our taste buds.
More on Oreoverse?
Oreo recently launched a new limited-edition cookie product named The Most OREO OREO. Now, two things stand out about this new launch. First, the unique cookie is unlike anything the brand has made before. This one is a special cookie, a cookie inside a cookie!
Secondly, the brand took the campaign to the next level by creating its first-ever metaverse, inviting fans to play cookie-themed games. And guess what? Prizes are up for grabs for winners of these fun games.
Incredible stuff!
