The Irwin family hold a special place in the hearts of most Australians. When Australia Zoo decided to do an NFT, they turned to Web3 Agency Meadow Labs. We talk to their Chief Marketing Officer, Mariella Meija, about the Australia Zoo NFT project – how it came about, how it was executed and importantly how the project brought 1500 people who had never bought an NFT into the NFT world. Importantly for the Irwins, the project was sustainable (using the world’s first carbon-negative blockchain) and the NFTs actually do good in the world.

We also discuss where Tiffany (the jewellers) made $12.5M by selling 250 NFTs in a few minutes and what lessons we can learn for large organisations embracing NFTs. Somewhat controversially Mariella made a comment on Twitter that we were nowhere near having a Metaverse yet. That caused some backlash online and we talk to Mariella about her views on the Metaverse. Also we discuss the importance of canned tuna to Mariella as an underappreciated lunch meat. Fun and Web3 abounds in this episode.

Tennis Australia, the organisation behind the Australian Tennis Open, has had great success growing a new audience by audaciously exploring the opportunities created by Web3, the Metaverse and even NFTs. Far from being “yesterday’s technology”, Web3 presents great opportunities for business-to-consumer organisations. In our interview with Ridley Plummer, Senior Manager, Metaverse & Web3, Tennis Australia we cover:
The success of the Artball NFT project and how that has helped to grow loyalty
How Tennis Australia hit 11 Million users on the metaverse/gaming platform Roblox, opening up a new and global audience
Using Web3 as a way of expanding the value proposition for sponsors beyond the two-week Australian Open each January
How to use “Proof of Attendance Protocols” (POAPS) to drive employee engagement
The low-hanging fruit for most B-to-C organisations in Web3.

Web3 is far from dead and this interview is important for anyone interested in how technology can assist with growing customer engagement and reach.
