I love January. Everyone in my space seems to the whole month off and I don’t blame them… suns out, guns out.
Now that we’re past the 26th, however - the dream is over. There was even traffic on the way to the office this morning.
Professional services are back and I have a job to do again!
It appears to be the same at the intersection between VR and Professional Services.
PwC and Mantel Group here in AU, offer direct virtual access via platforms like Decentrealand or VR hubs. Others focus on metaverse expertise delivered through traditional channels but applicable to virtual worlds.
Take progressive law firm - Bird & Bird, for example. They offer legal advice on intellectual property in the metaverse from an Australian viewpoint. This covers trade mark classifications for virtual goods (e.g., NFTs), copyright enforcement for digital assets, and compliance with Australian Consumer Law to avoid misleading conduct in virtual transactions. Services are traditional but tailored to metaverse contexts, without mention of virtual delivery.
UNSW Metaverse Lab (MLab) offers research-driven consultancy in metaverse marketing. This encompasses strategies for customer engagement, integrating digital and physical channels, using immersive technologies for reality enhancement, and creating personalised avatars. Their services aim to empower businesses with innovative, reality-enhanced marketing approaches in metaverse settings.
Not sure where to start with your Professional Services firm?
Meta61, an Australian-registered company, specialises in metaverse consulting and development. Their offerings include strategic planning, market research, token economics, 3D modeling, NFT marketplace creation, play-to-earn game development, payment integrations, and security fortifications using blockchain.
Whilst most VR headlines are filled with sexy hardware and bleeding edge tech, let’s not forget our old pals in Professional Services who are having a go at VR as well… besides, they’re back to work now!
Yours virtually,
