Leading global provider of customer experience (CX) and business solutions, Webhelp, has been chosen by The Sandbox, a leading decentralized gaming virtual world and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, as a partner to help build community engagement both inside and outside the game environment.
The partnership will see Webhelp provide The Sandbox gaming community with in-game support services, helping onboard and safeguard the players, creators, and partners. The services include moderating in-game chat, new player support, conducting moderation, and social media activities. The partnership began in March 2022, and together Webhelp and The Sandbox will expand the number of Webhelp ambassadors to 150 over the coming months and grow in line with each Alpha Season release.
“With many complex interactions happening simultaneously in The Sandbox, it’s really important that our community see and feel the presence of our teams and ambassadors on the platform,” said Sebastien Borget, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox. “Providing support to our players and creators is key to our offering, and we’re pleased Webhelp shares our vision for the metaverse as a safe space for users to connect with entertainment, gaming, and user-generated content. We are looking forward to working with Webhelp to scale up our dedicated support team, which is rapidly developing its skillset and becoming an extension of our team, as part of a long-lasting partnership.”
The Sandbox, a community-driven, open virtual world where players can build, own, and monetize gaming experiences in the metaverse, embraces the idea of a metaverse as a continued shared digital space. The Sandbox is a leading metaverse blockchain game, and the Webhelp partnership follows over 200 other partnerships with brands such as Gucci, HSBC, Warner Music Group, Snoop Dogg, Adidas, Care Bears, Atari, and many others.
“We’re excited to partner with one of the fastest-growing and most disruptive gaming platforms of a generation,” commented Olivier Duha, CEO and Co-founder of Webhelp. “Running on an open irrefutable blockchain network, The Sandbox puts community at its core, matching Webhelp’s business values. We will be using our extensive experience and expertise in content and community moderation to help The Sandbox grow and remain a safe and engaging platform for players, creators, and commercial partners.”
