Rivers Run Red actually came in Second Life in December 2003, we introduced the first brand into the world in Jan 2004. The purchased the first island, and caused quite a stir when they arrived. We also created the first brand created and developed specifically within a virtual world - avalon. Since then, the world has seen other excellent examples of great brand and innovation marketing activity. Most notably from Rivers Run Red, eSheep, Millions of US and Aimee Weber (although I could mention a lot more names.) On the more established side, I would hazhard a guess that the agency BBH and Leo Burnett would also be up there and ahead of the queue too. Giff, a great thread.
