The metaverse has been one of the talking points in the crypto industry since 2021, thanks to Meta’s (formerly Facebook) ambitious plan to take social interaction, shopping, and way of doing business to another level. Since this plan was made known, the term ‘metaverse’ has found its way into the blueprints and roadmaps of several companies and brands in various industries.
Fashion companies, such as Nike, Adidas, and Dolce & Gabbana, alongside tech companies like Samsung, have identified the opportunities presented by the metaverse and established their presence in the growing virtual world. Interestingly, the metaverse has contributed to the growth of these companies immensely.
But, the fashion sector isn’t the only industry benefiting. The entertainment sector has found its way into the virtual planet, with music artists leveraging its rise to increase their fan base, earn more money, and provide a uniquely entertaining experience. The metaverse and NFTs are already driving the next wave of growth for the entertainment industry.
Outlook of Global Entertainment Industry in the Metaverse
The likes of Justin Bieber, Travis Scott, and Paris Hilton have taken advantage of the metaverse to establish their presence there, but that’s just the West. The eastern part of the world is behind, and that’s because it lacks a metaverse platform that will help onboard the Asian entertainment industry. Gemie aims to be that platform that will fill the gap and become a leading metaverse in the Asian market.
In a market where artists are limited and are at the mercy of the current unfavorable industry practices, Gemie has a mission to disrupt the sector and help artists actualize their vision by providing them with the tools and resources they need to scale through. With the Gemie team’s years of experience in the entertainment niche and unique understanding of the dynamism of Asian consumers, artists are better equipped to reach their goals.
Gemie’s vision is to allow users to have a meaningful interaction with their favorite celebrities without geographical hindrances. They will be able to travel around the Gemiemetaverse, enjoying different exclusive perks with NFTs. Through Gemie’s NFT store, fans can purchase digital collectibles that enable them to interact with their favoritestars. The artists themselves will be able to connect to their ardent fans globally and create content without limits.
Gemie presents new opportunities for celebrities, entertainment franchises, and movie production houses to expand their fan base, boost earning potential, and bring them closer to audiences who cherish the digital experience. Presently, this metaverse platform is connecting with top celebrities in Asia, including A-list K-pop stars, KOLs, and blockbuster movies in the region, with fans eagerly awaiting the announcement of their celebrity partnerships.
