Karta brings NASCAR to Fortnite! 🚗🏁 Today, we launch our first map together onto UEFN: a map of NASCAR's Chicago Street Race track! It's a Rocket Racing map with a twist on its real-world counterpart. This is just the beginning, and there is a lot more to come... 👀 Working with such an icon of motorsports and American culture has been an absolute dream come true for us as a company and as individuals. "Fortnite provides the perfect platform to engage a global audience, blending the intensity of NASCAR racing with the immersive world of Fortnite. Karta, with their incredible creativity, attention to detail and innovative approach, were the perfect partners to help us bring this vision to life. We wanted to build something with longevity for both diehard NASCAR enthusiasts and the wider Fortnite community and we think we have succeeded with just that.” said Nick Rend, Managing Director of Esports & Gaming at NASCAR. 🙌 Thank you Mitch Rasmussen and Nick Rend for being incredible people, partners and collaborators. 🤝 #NASCAR #NASCARChicago #Karta #KartaCreative #Fortnite #FortniteBranding #UGC #UGCGaming #MetaverseBranding #Metaverse

Karta reposted this
Yesterday I had the great pleasure of taking Karta's management team to my favourite restaurant in London - Brat x Climpson Arch. We did do more than eat stupidly good food and drink big bottles of natural wine. Before that, we spent a full day discussing problems, figuring out solutions, where we've been, where we are going and how we become the best. It was awesome. Being a fully remote company has its benefits but it's so nice to get together in the real world. The Metaverse is great and all. But it does not have wine, yet.

Can Roblox and Fortnite become the new frontier of social media for musicians? 🤔- An article on Billboard Roblox and Fortnite are attracting millions of daily users, and the music industry is already taking notice. Many top-tier artists are already experimenting with virtual concerts and in-game items, but there's still much to learn about effectively engaging with these new audiences.

We're incredibly grateful to welcome Morgan Evans as our new Fashion & Beauty Director! 🎇 Morgan brings a wealth of experience in fashion, gaming, and emerging technologies. He's a true visionary, having pioneered the virtual integration of iconic brands like Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger into the metaverse. Why this is a big deal: 1️⃣ Morgan gets the metaverse fashion scene like nobody else. The super popular "Tommyplay" experience, with 51M+ visits and 77K+ upvotes, in Roblox? That's his work! ️ 2️⃣ He's passionate about connecting brands with new fans and empowering creators in the metaverse. 3️⃣ Morgan shares our goal of making Karta THE go-to metaverse studio for fashion. Together, we'll push the boundaries of fashion, beauty, and tech, all while keeping things authentic. ✨ On joining Karta, Morgan says “I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to build the future of how brands can interact with new and existing communities at Karta. We are at a crucial point where social gaming, communication and commerce will start to become a much more important channel for all brands. Specifically those which are born out of cultural relevance in art, music, fashion or sports. Karta has the edge to create within each of these sectors.” This is an exciting time for Karta! Together, we aim to push the boundaries of fashion, beauty, and technology while remaining true to brand identities. We're excited to have Morgan on board and work alongside him to make Karta a leader in metaverse fashion. #KartaStudios #MetaverseFashion #FashionTech #Gaming #Roblox #RobloxFashion #BrandActivasion
