COPPELL, Texas, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Takis® snacks, the iconic brand known for its intensely good spicy rolled tortilla chip, today announced an exciting expansion into the virtual world with the debut of its Takis® Tower. Taking the brand’s intensity to a new “level,” this tower will be accessible to avatars on Decentraland, a popular virtual reality platform.
Emerging technology has spurred a new age in digital marketing focused on the online world, and Takis® snacks is leveraging these trends to develop interactive ways to engage with fans.
