Abstract

The article discusses the use of blockchain technology in the field of digital marketing, which has become possible in the context of Web 3 development. The study analyzes both the advantages and potential risks associated with the integration of blockchain into the marketing activities of companies, especially in the context of the new generation of the Internet - Web 3. It was found that the growing popularity of Web 3.0 and blockchain opens up new opportunities for marketing. These technologies can help brands build consumer trust, optimize advertising costs, increase the overall effectiveness of marketing campaigns, and create new opportunities for consumer interaction. The study showed that blockchain has a number of advantages for marketing, such as transparency of transactions, data protection, fraud prevention, absence of intermediaries, increased content monetization, smart contracts for automated companies, and decentralized marketplaces. However, disadvantages such as complexity of integration, low transaction and scaling speed, high implementation cost, and the need for a significant amount of energy have been identified. The article focuses on the blockchain's potential to combat counterfeiting and increase the transparency of advertising campaigns. The prospects for creating unique loyalty programs through tokenization and the use of NFTs, which allows companies to form deeper and more personal connections with customers, are also highlighted. The results are substantiated by practical cases of well-known brands that demonstrate the practical application of these technologies and emphasize their importance for modern digital marketing. The article emphasizes the potential role of blockchain in the transformation of the marketing industry, pointing out the need for marketers to adapt to the new reality to achieve a competitive advantage. Understanding and implementing these innovative technologies can help increase the effectiveness of marketing strategies and create a more attractive environment for consumers.
