NFTs are everywhere. For brands, wading into a new space can be daunting, but if used well, they can connect with consumers and generate revenue. 

 

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are everywhere. They’ve gone mainstream.

You can now show off your favourite NFT as your Twitter profile picture, and creators can make their digital collectibles on Instagram and sell them to fans using an end-to-end toolkit.

Driven in part by a FOMO, big brands are launching NFT collections at a dizzying pace.

Web 3.0, NFTs and the metaverse have the technological components that have the potential to redesign the way we deliver work. And these technologies have the potential to reach more consumers.
