Forbes Enters the Sandbox Metaverse

Known for its interactive and user-generated content, The Sandbox provides a platform on which Forbes plans to create a community hub. This space fosters interaction, engagement and collaboration among participants. In fact, it brings together thinkers, leaders and innovators, going beyond traditional media engagement methods.

The virtual property envisioned by Forbes would include a variety of functions. These include a luxurious swimming pool, elegant bar and gallery showcasing the 2024 Under 30 winners. These elements therefore highlight the company's efforts to create engaging and visually appealing user environments within the virtual universe.

Taha Ahmed, chief growth officer at Forbes, said, “Our venture into The Sandbox Metaverse is a testament to Forbes’ commitment to embracing the frontiers of technological innovation. By establishing a permanent presence in this digital space, we are opening new avenues for our community to build on what was previously possible. Connect, learn and grow together in unimaginable ways.”

Forbes’ approach also includes leveraging interactive experiences, such as scavenger hunts via QR codes scattered throughout virtual properties, to guide participants to exclusive content and insights.

Forbes’ entry into The Sandbox is indicative of a broader trend of companies exploring the metaverse as a new frontier for digital engagement and brand extension. Notably, following the announcement, the price of The Sandbox’s native token SAND rose by 3%, from $0.51 to a high of $0.53. #福布斯  #SandboxMetaverse
