Inside look into our Business Development progress

2020 was a unique year for almost everyone. Business was not as usual and was a time of uncertainty. Nevertheless, we forged ahead and ended the year well with a few huge milestones. Morpheus Labs is proud to share the company’s main achievements and highlights in 2020.

We were very focused on business development and marketing in 2020 and we will still be, in 2021.  Like we always say, real works take time. To achieve longevity and sustainability in our marketing and branding efforts, we are very glad to have supportive and proactive partners to co-market one another to our communities and business networks.

We move into joint business relationships with international industry leaders in areas such as professional services, leveraging their expertise and experiences to empower the world to move towards digital transformation in business. Our goal is to scale engagement across the market through the application of learning and replication. For example, the Morpheus team works diligently to design solutions on blockchain and other technologies such as RPA, AI, IoT and more, and then validate them as use cases on SEED with our clients from selected tech firms.

Partnership Developments

Morpheus Labs had a goal to work with education partners in educating students and professionals to learn the complex environment of blockchain, giving them a head start to blockchain development and propelling them into the talent-hungry blockchain development world. We embarked on a partnership journey with education providers such as Hanwha – Dream PlusConflux and ICON since 2019, to foster educational and commercial opportunities progressively.ICON conducts its blockchain workshops on Major League Hacking, an organisation that works all over the United States and Europe to help students organise hackathons at their own universities, powering over 200 weekend-long invention competitions that inspire innovation, cultivate communities and teach computer science skills to more than 65,000 students around the world each year! ICON blockchain was installed by 329 users, being one of the most used blockchain protocols on Morpheus Labs SEED.

Community Outreach – Connecting, interacting, engaging

Outreach to the communities – Morpheus Labs, Blockchain & General public

Morpheus Labs has always appreciated the support of our community and we are constantly developing ways we can communicate with our valued community. The channels and tools are optimized for 2-way interactions. Good communication is key to any organization’s success and hence, we have optimized the use of different methods to engage different sets of target audiences.

a) Telegram channels

This method is one of the most efficient ways to connect, announce, interact and engage directly with our community. Moving forward, this channel will continue to remain one of our main methods while working hard to improve and refine our content.

b) Twitter announcements

Twitter will continue to be our mainstay for global announcements and updates. This channel targets all stakeholders involved.

c) Morpheus Lab’s rebranding and website updates

d) Ask-me-anything (AMA) live interactions

AMA is a unique opportunity to hear what our founders have to say, their views and take on questions that are asked by the community. In 2021, we will continue to hold these valuable live interactions that are greatly appreciated by all involved. Feedbacks were largely positive and Telegram interactions / discussion greatly increased before and after each session.

Morpheus Labs latest AMA was hosted by Oddgems. You may read more here.

e) Webinars

This is a useful tool & channel to communicate with the wider Blockchain community and the wider public. In 2020, we have had webinars with prospective clientele, partners and the community. There was an increase in interaction between the parties and this greatly improved the synergy and understanding of each other — leading to a higher user experience. Through this webinar method alone, the feedback was more positive and we realised that our call-to-action message increased by 2-folds when compared to a telegram send-out.

Moving forward in 2021, Morpheus Labs will engage webinars when there are important messages that require a higher degree of interaction and explanation. We would also like to thank all our members, prospect partners, stakeholders and the community for engaging us in these webinars.

f) Ambassador Program
