SPONSORSHIP POSSIBILITIES FOR BRANDS IN THE METAVERSE
The metaverse, a term coined by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel "Snow Crash," refers to a shared virtual universe where users can interact with a digitized world in real time. With the rise of virtual and augmented reality technology, the metaverse has become an increasingly near reality, and companies have begun to explore how they can leverage this new space for advertising and sponsorship purposes.

The potential for sponsorship in the metaverse is immense. As a digitized world in which users can interact with objects and brands, the metaverse offers a unique opportunity for companies to reach a global audience in a highly immersive way. The possibilities are endless: from static advertising on virtual billboards to creating interactive, branded experiences in the virtual world.
Some companies have already begun to explore these possibilities. Tech giant Facebook has announced plans to create a metaverse in which users can interact in virtual worlds in real time. The company has said that the metaverse could be a "new platform for advertising," and noted that it has already seen some companies experiment with advertising and sponsorship on its Oculus virtual reality platforms.
Other projects such as LaLigaLand, LaLiga's space in the metaverse has been created by the StadioPlus technology company. In LaLigaLand there are several buildings that are prepared for brand activations such as the Stadium, the Museum, the Welcome Zone or the Shop that offer a wide range of opportunities for brands. Some of these examples are the stadium billboards, the stadium naming, the booth around the stadium, the showcases and walls of the museum or the posters in the Shop.

In general, the following sponsorship options are available:
Sponsorship of virtual events: just as in the real world, virtual events in the metaverse can attract large audiences and generate a great deal of exposure for sponsoring brands. Companies can sponsor sporting, musical, cultural or other events and place advertising around the virtual event or even within the event itself.
Advertising on virtual products: In the metaverse, users can buy and use virtual products such as clothing, accessories and tools. Companies can create and sell virtual products with their branding and advertising on them, allowing them to reach a global audience very effectively.
Sponsorship of virtual worlds: Users can also explore and interact with different virtual worlds. Companies can sponsor the creation and maintenance of specific virtual worlds and place their brand within them.
Sponsorship of influencers and content creators: In addition, users can become influencers and content creators and have a large following. Companies are betting on sponsoring these users to use their brand or products in their videos or live broadcasts, allowing them to reach a targeted and highly engaged audience.
Interactive branded experiences: Instead of simply placing advertising in the metaverse, companies can create interactive branded experiences where users can interact directly with their brand or products. This can include virtual reality experiences, interactive games or even creating exclusive events for metaverse users.
These are just a few of the possibilities for sponsorship in the metaverse. As the metaverse evolves and expands, new innovative forms of advertising and sponsorship are likely to emerge in this ever-changing digitized world.
