초록

본 연구는 새로운 비즈니스 모델과 산업 생태계가 형성되고 있는 메타버스 플랫폼에서 기존과는 다른 방식으로 이루어지는 마케팅 방식을 파악해 보는 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 메타버스의 유형과 메타버스를 이용하는 주 이용자들의 특성에 따라 브랜드의 마케팅 방식이 어떻게 차별화되고 있는지를 파악하는 것이다. 연구 방법은 사례분석 방법으로 하였으며, 현재 가장 많은 활성 이용자 수를 가진 로블록스를 선정하였다. 나이키와 구찌 브랜드가 로블록스의 주 이용자층인 알파세대와 Z세대의 특성과 소비패턴을 어떻게 반영하여 마케팅하고 있는지 그 방식을 면밀히 분석하였다. 분석의 결과 첫째, 직접적인 마케팅이 아닌 게임을 비롯한 즐거운 콘텐츠로 접근하고 있었다. 둘째, 제공하는 콘텐츠에 브랜드의 스토리와 철학을 담아 전달하고 있었다. 셋째 가상과 현실을 연계시키는 방식을 취하고 있었다. 마지막으로, 메타버스를 통해 미래 잠재 고객들의 취향을 파악하고 데이터 수집하여 맞춤형 서비스에 활용하고 있었다.

This study is to identify marketing methods that are different from the existing ones on the Metaverse platform, where new business models and industrial ecosystems are being formed. The purpose of this study is to identify how brand marketing methods are differentiated according to the type of metaverse and the characteristics of the main users who use metaverse. The research method was a case analysis method, and Roblox, which currently has the largest number of active users, was selected. We closely analyzed how Nike and Gucci brands market by reflecting the characteristics and consumption patterns of Alpha Generation and Generation Z, the main users of Roblox. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, it is approaching with enjoyable content, including games, rather than direct marketing. Second, the content provided contains the brand's story and philosophy. Third, it takes a method of linking virtual and reality. Lastly, through Metaverse, Brands are identifying the tastes of future potential customers and collecting data for customized services.
