Web3 And Digital Marketing

What is Web 3.0? (Explained with Animations) - YouTube

We’ve written a couple articles on the shift from Web 2.0 to 3.0 but today’s focus is on how the change will affect digital marketing for us independent business owners, freelancers and creatives. 

Just to recap on what Web 3.0 is and how it is different to our current (2.0) version of the internet;
Web 1.0. — We click and type (1980s to 2005)
Web 2.0. — We swipe (2005 – present)
Web 3.0 — We immerse and engage with people in Virtual Reality worlds (future and the metaverse). 

With Web 3, apps won’t be delivered from corporate servers but instead will reside on independent Nodes across a multitude of servers owned by the public. This is known as a decentralised Application. Such apps don’t rely on a single entity to set up and maintain the infrastructure but instead run on P2P networks or blockchain technologies (remember Napster from the 90s). Such technologies help to democratise the creation and ownership of Content and protect against a singular corporate entity deciding to shut it down. 

So, how will decentralisation affect our digital marketing as creators?

How Will the Office of the Future Look Like?

The coronavirus lockdowns have brought many elements of change to our lifestyles. It has particularly interesting monitoring which of these changes have stayed over the past two years. Most of the changes were spurred by terror, fear and necessity but naturally, changes spurred by fear rather than choice aren’t likely to stay. While our introvertism could have only lasted so long, the lockdowns, rather than set definite changes, spurred and sparked evolution and progress in how we work and socialise.
