Scratchpad: Advertising in Virtual Worlds

Joyce Schwarz, "Bold New Opportunities in Virtual Worlds." iMedia Connection, March 10, 2006. Quotes: The greatest opportunity for brand expression may just be in the 'solo-branded' Virtual Worlds like Coke Studios, Wells Fargo's "Stagecoach Island," Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom and Motorola's Mokiworld. But other options like co-branding or develop promotions or sponsorships within other brands' virtual worlds -- like Wal-Mart did in Coke Studios -- are feasible.
