The last three years have seen astounding growth in metaverse interest, awareness, and implementation. Despite recent headwinds, the industry is well-positioned for growth as brands and consumers continue to recognize the value of spatial commerce and human connection in the metaverse.

“What companies need to be asking themselves as they consider investing in this channel is ‘why’ should we choose this channel.” said Josh Rush, CEO of SURREAL. “The creation of S-Map, and bringing Eric on board, are both intended to help companies answer just that question. We will be able to guide brands to envision, prototype, implement, and maintain metaverse activations to solidify utilization and ROI.”

Developing persistent, functional, utility-driven mass multiplayer environments can be a costly, time-consuming, and technically-demanding process. SURREAL’s S-Map Consulting team will help brands move at the speed of marketing as they help clients execute on rapidly-built, photorealistic, and stably-performing metaverses that will keep users coming back.
