What we did:
Rexona was running the first marathon in the Metaverse with a specific inclusive lens. We supported them through expert review, user engagement and studio 1:1 interviews to better understand the experience through the perspective of a range of diverse access needs and other characteristics such as ethnicity and age.
Outcome:
This event had the highest level of engagement of any event at Decentraland to that point (April 2022) creating great brand awareness and strengthening the brand’s values . It generated significant user interest and inclusive design and development awareness around Metaverse experiences. It also helped trigger a vote (by over 1.2 million people) to make Decentraland more inclusive making a lasting positive impact on the future of this platform.

Client Quote:
“We hope that the Degree Metathon will spark conversation on why representation matters – in both the Metaverse and the physical world – and its power in challenging societal norms”
Kathryn Swallow, Global Brand VP Degree
Rexona believes in the power of movement to transform lives. Whoever you are, however you move, nothing should hold you back – not race, gender, ability, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or means.
