“When planning the BRITs 2022 digital campaign we knew we wanted to enter the metaverse with Roblox,” said Luke Ferrar, Innovation Director, Polydor Records and Co-Chair of the BRITs Digital Committee.

“What Dubit has built within the Roblox platform is an immersive BRITs experience. It has far surpassed our expectations with wonderful detail and flourishes in the world. It’s fantastic to have PinkPantheress, who reaches a huge Gen Z audience, perform in it. Very proud to have the BRITs enter this space in this way for the first time.”
