| Summary: | This research explores the interplay between the services the Metaverse industry provides,
including brand gamification, Metaverse marketing factors (novelty, interactivity, Influencer),
and their impact on brand advocacy and loyalty among Generation Z within the sports industry.
Employing a quantitative approach, the researchers collected data from 384 participants. The
findings reveal significant positive relationships between brand gamification and Metaverse
novelty and interactivity. The outcomes of Metaverse devices exhibited that consumers
developed a strong affinity for specific brands due to the influence of social media influencers.
In addition, the vibrant and dynamic realm of the Metaverse has generated a wave of positive
brand sentiment among individuals. The research examined the efficiency of transforming brand
experiences inside the Metaverse into gamified systems, significantly influencing people and
increasing their affection for the brands within the sports industry. Metaverse is a critical tool for
Generation Z as this group seeks immersive, active, and engaging experiences, and effective
branding in Metaverse can provide a solid appeal to this tech-savvy youth. The findings of this
research provide significant managerial implications for both the Metaverse market and the
sports industry, highlighting the significance of leveraging the Metaverse for enhanced brand
engagement and loyalty among Generation Z. |
