A new vision for cultural energy
MetaCraft’s collaboration with BlockParty and The Plug Entertainment is an ongoing creative partnership shaping one of the most culturally resonant event brands on the continent. Since early 2024, we’ve worked closely with their team to elevate the BlockParty identity across major touchpoints - visuals, storytelling, brand systems, and event experiences.
We’ve led the creative direction and visual identity for landmark editions like Blocking New York and Blocking London, setting the tone for how the brand shows up on the global stage. From high-impact promos like MBP x Oxlade to character-driven pieces like MBP x Ruger, our work continues to fuse music, culture, and narrative in ways that reflect BlockParty’s evolving presence.
Beyond visuals, MetaCraft began building a cohesive brand guideline system for The Plug - laying the foundation for a more unified brand language across all their properties.
This partnership represents more than project execution. It’s a shared vision for what culturally rooted, future-facing events can look like when design is part of the core strategy.
More than a makeover
From managing high-impact campaigns to shaping culture through design, MetaCraft has been behind some of Africa’s most compelling creative work. Now we’re building tools to make that process smoother for everyone.
