Web3 & NFTs: Are They Still Relevant for Marketing?

The hype around Web3 and NFTs (non-fungible tokens) exploded in 2021–2022, with brands jumping on the bandwagon. But after the crypto market downturn, many marketers wonder: Are NFTs and Web3 still useful for digital marketing?

    The Current State of Web3 & NFTs
    While the speculative NFT bubble has burst, the underlying technology still holds value for brands willing to use it strategically:

  • NFTs for Loyalty & Community Building


    • Brands like Starbucks (Odyssey) and Nike (.SWOOSH) use NFTs as digital collectibles to reward loyal customers.
    NFTs can act as exclusive membership passes, unlocking VIP content, discounts, or real-world experiences.

  • Token-Gated Marketing

    • Web3 allows token-gated access to content, events, or products—meaning only NFT holders can participate.
    Example:

    Aussie artists selling limited-edition NFTs with backstage concert access.

  • Authenticity & Digital Ownership

    • NFTs verify authenticity for luxury brands, tickets, or digital art, reducing fraud.
    Example:

    Event ticketing via NFTs to prevent scalping.

  • Should Your Brand Still Consider Web3 Marketing?

✅ Yes, if:
You have an engaged, tech-savvy audience.You want innovative loyalty programs.
Your brand thrives on exclusivity & community.

❌ No, if:
Your audience isn’t familiar with crypto.
You expect quick ROI (NFTs are a long-term play).

Final Verdict
NFTs and Web3 aren’t dead—they’re evolving beyond speculation. Brands using them for utility (not hype) will stay ahead.
