They can take advantage of the gamified features on Soul App to create and express, contributing to rich user-generated content. For example, they can simply express their love for virtual pets, Lolita clothes, and sci-fictions. Or they could share their tips and experiences in daily life, academic performance and employment.

Based on this cooperation, it gets a 3D avatar to represent its company and strengthens its brand awareness among young generations.
The social metaverse will continue evolving. Under Soul Zhang Lu’s visionary leadership, Soul App may embrace more possibilities.
