Roblox is a hub for metaverse marketing, especially when it comes to reaching Gen Z and Gen Alpha consumers, and it is helping brands to explore new avenues with metaverse billboards. Roblox is introducing a new way for brands to advertise in the metaverse with 3D promos hosted within the virtual worlds and games on its platform.
These immersive ads give brands the potential to transport users to branded experiences. As Richard Sim, senior product director for monetization at Roblox, said "We’re building from the ground up a new ad system that will deliver 3D immersive ad experiences. But we want to do it in a way that is safe, that’s creative and drives value to users, that keeps our users’ data privacy safe.”
