Mark van Rijmenam, Strategic Futurist and Founder of the Digital Futures Institute, discusses the many complex and exciting ways the shift from a 2D to a 3D internet will impact our lives.

In this episode we discuss:

• How marketers and advertisers will need to shift their approach - think more deeply and strategically - to market in the metaverse effectively
