Morpheus Space

Every campaign, product video, interview, and brand asset below was conceived, produced, and managed by me — from a single-person content role to leading the full marketing and communications strategy of a deep-tech space company.

Propelling the Future of Satellite Mobility

In-Orbit Demonstration of the GO-2  ·  SmallSat Utah, August 2025  ·  Booth E32

During Morpheus Space's first In-Orbit Demonstration with D-Orbit, the engineering team was focused entirely on the mission. There was no technical paper, no conference poster. So I built one myself. I compiled the mission data, wrote the technical narrative, and redesigned all charts and graphics to match Morpheus Space's brand palette — producing a full academic-format poster for SmallSat Utah. It became one of the most effective conversation starters at the conference: a direct opening into what we were doing in orbit, in real time.

GO-2 Use Case Campaigns · LinkedIn ABM

Each carousel was built around a specific mission need surfaced by the sales team. I translated those conversations into problem/solution visual stories — designed in Illustrator, deployed as paid LinkedIn carousels to targeted audience lists built around each satellite use case.

Product Photography · Post-Production

A photographer was sent to the factory to document the GO-2's manufacturing and testing process. The images arrived flat and repetitive. I color-graded and retouched each one — treating the propulsion system like a precision jewel, not a component.

Event Campaign · SmallSat Europe 2026 · Amsterdam

From social posts to AR: the full campaign behind every conference

SmallSat Europe in Amsterdam was the most complete event execution I built. Before the conference I designed the team attendance graphics and the panel announcement — and I got Daniel Bock onto the Business Stage as a speaker. At the conference itself, the booth (Booth 560) had a QR code printed on the banner: scan it and the space became interactive, with animated Morpheus logo and a live thrust vectoring animation playing on the booth wall. Every flyer we handed out had its own QR code: scan it and the GO-2 propulsion system opened as a full 360° digital model in your pocket. A physical space layered with digital experience — this is what we built for every major event.

Audiovisual Work

Documentaries, short films, fiction, and film poster design — each project built with intentional storytelling and visual craft. Including a finalist selection at the Notofilm Fest España.

Featured Documentary

Los Ojos de Nuestra Tierra

Documentary Film  ·  Kogui Communities, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta  ·  Colombia

A documentary exploring the impact of Colombia's armed conflict on Kogui indigenous communities in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta — told through archival photography, oral testimony, and visual storytelling. Beyond its artistic reach, Los Ojos de Nuestra Tierra became advocacy and educational material adopted by cultural and diplomatic institutions. The film has been screened and distributed by the Colombian Embassy, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Red Distrital de Bibliotecas Públicas de Bogotá, and the Instituto Cervantes — reaching classrooms, institutions, and communities where these stories needed to be heard most.

Film Poster Design

Our State

Six poster designs for Our State, a psychological thriller by Devansh Kaul Pandit — a citizen confined under a government-enforced lockdown, watched and watching. Each version was built around a distinct emotional state from the film: isolation, paranoia, surveillance, the slow collapse of private life. The posters were not only exhibited at the Landmark Nuart Theatre in Los Angeles — they became the visual campaign, deployed as paid social content to promote the film and drive attendance.

Phase 1 · Organic Brand Building

From team photos to 14,000 followers

When Diego joined Morpheus Space, the company's social presence was limited to occasional team photos and event snapshots. His first major project — the Journey Software teaser — delivered over 1,000 views for the first time, marking a turning point. He developed a consistent content strategy that grew the LinkedIn page to 14,000+ followers and established Morpheus Space as a credible voice in the deep-tech space industry.

Phase 2 · Data-Driven Paid Strategy

Precision over reach: ABM on LinkedIn

Identifying the gap in measurement, Diego implemented LinkedIn Analytics and Google Analytics from scratch — the first data infrastructure at Morpheus Space. He then designed targeted paid campaigns (Account-Based Marketing) aimed at specific aerospace companies and engineering decision-makers. The result: campaigns reaching the exact audience that matters — not broad impressions, but verified engineers and executives at potential client organizations.

Results · Organic Performance

8.58% organic CTR — 8× the industry average

LinkedIn's industry benchmark for B2B organic CTR sits at approximately 0.5–1%.
