Barcelona – March 20, 2023.- DR Digital Agency today presented the world’s first museum in the metaverse dedicated to diversity: the Metamuseum DRDA Art. This pioneering project has been created by the agency for the DRDA Art platform. Its launch comes at a crucial time of technological advances, and reminds us of the great responsibility of brands, companies, and agencies to build an ethical and value-driven virtual environment from now on. “In an increasingly technological world, professionals serving brands have the duty to develop experiences that promote diversity and values in order to create an ethical, safe, and accessible virtual environment that puts technology at the service of people,” says María José González, co-founder and managing director of DR Digital Agency.
The agency highlights the great opportunity that the metaverse brings to professionals to elevate experiences to a new level, also pointing out that this opportunity comes with the responsibility to promote the ethical values we want to be present in the virtual world where we will all live in the future. DR Digital Agency has been responsible for the whole experience of the Metamuseum DRDA Art., including the strategy development, the design of the space, the experience design and content. The agency is inviting the community and professionals in the industry to explore this space in the metaverse that is unlike anything they have seen in the real world.

Building a value-driven metaverse with responsible brands
Connecting with people in an immersive virtual reality has been brewing for years, and with the recent technological advances, this possibility has now become more real than ever. As the report “Value Creation in the Metaverse,” conducted by McKinsey & Company in 2022, states, it is expected that the metaverse will become widely used and have a significant impact in the next 5 to 10 years. “The metaverse is simply too big to ignore” the report concludes, highlighting the impact that it can have on people’s commercial and personal lives.
Now is the time for brands to break new ground in the metaverse and design positive spaces and experiences that bring value to their customers. “It is time for committed and socially responsible brands to step forward to lead the way in building an ethical virtual environment through creative and responsible experiences that serve as an example for the rest”, says González.
Through this project, DR Digital Agency invites brands to join in, showcasing an example of their ability to help them. “Our mission as an agency has always been to help our clients captivate the hearts of their audiences, putting our creativity at the service of innovative experiences that generate an impact beyond the numbers. This time gives us the opportunity to help responsible brands go further, developing immersive experiences that bring value to them and their customers, as well as contribute in some way to improve the world and society” concludes the agency’s co-founder and managing director.
