Merse Advisory launches, providing and independent alternative to current Metaverse advisory landscape

Operating internationally, with bases in London and New York, Merse Advisory officially opened its doors last week. Employing some of the brightest independent thinkers in the Metaverse, the launch of Merse offers much-needed clarity and objective guidance to companies evaluating how to unlock the business opportunities of Web3.

As an independent consultancy, Merse is free of the conflicts of interest that result from being both Metaverse advisor and technology implementer. It is a rare position to occupy, offering companies an unbiased perspective that will help them focus on how to derive business value from the Metaverse and Web3, and pragmatic actions that will deliver the right results.

Beyond the strategic thinking, Merse Advisory invests in understanding the ecosystem of technology providers. Extensive and up to the minute research into established technology providers and new market entrants, means Merse can help companies cut through the hype and accelerate the pace at which they can choose the right partners, and get on with implementation.

Jessica Thomas, Co-Founder and Strategic Advisor at Merse Advisory, commented on the launch: “The Metaverse is a market that’s moving quickly and constantly evolving but when you’re surrounded by jargon, how do you distinguish the useful from the nonsense? How do you know that this isn’t just the next technological fad with no real lasting impact? How could it benefit your business in the long-term? Our clients are asking these questions and we know they are not alone. That’s why Merse Advisory was created. We’re not a provider, we don’t have a vested interest in whether you decide the Metaverse is right for you or not. We run on the simple belief that whether you’re a Metaverse cynic or idealist, you should be an informed one. We stand as a unique alternative to the current market, where our primary goal is to give you objective, independent, and practical advice – is the Metaverse right for you?”

The two leading founders are cutting edge thinkers in the Metaverse market.
