we build the rooms where africa decides

Muwuyu is a full-service agency in Harare. We win the bid, shape the brand, stage the summit, and carry the story long after the delegates have flown home.

One half wins the right to host. The other half makes the week work. Most agencies sell you one of them and subcontract the rest. A summit needs both in the same room, answerable to the same person.

what we do

Eight disciplines under one roof, which is the whole point of a full-service house. A ministry that needs a bid written, a stand designed, a plenary run and a film cut does not want four suppliers blaming each other in week three.

01

Bids and host-country advisory

Candidature dossiers, evaluation missions, feasibility studies and the cabinet paperwork that carries a hosting decision. This is where a hosting decision is actually made, and it is the part most agencies never see.

four things, in order

Most agencies sell you a menu. An international summit is not a menu, it is a sequence: something has to be won before it can be staged, and staged before it can mean anything. We work the whole arc, or we join it where you need us.

01

win it

Before an event exists, it has to be won. Candidature dossiers, evaluation missions, host-country agreements, cabinet memoranda, the quiet alignment of six ministries who have never sat in the same room. We have written the documents that carry a country's name into a boardroom in Abidjan and come back with a yes.

  • Bid strategy and candidature dossiers
  • Host-country advisory
  • Evaluation mission management
  • Government stakeholder alignment
  • Feasibility and hosting-capacity studies
02

shape it

An identity that survives translation into four languages, a badge queue, a rained-out arrival and a live broadcast. We build brand systems for things that have to work under pressure, not just look correct in a deck. Our studio sits in Harare and draws on Zimbabwean craft rather than importing a look that could belong anywhere.

  • Identity and brand systems
  • Campaign creative and art direction
  • Exhibition and stand design
  • Signage and delegate wayfinding
  • Naming and message architecture
03

stage it

Protocol is not decoration. When five heads of state arrive within ninety minutes of each other, the difference between a proud week and a national embarrassment is a seating chart, a motorcade sequence and someone at the airport who knows exactly who is in the second car.

  • Professional conference organising
  • Protocol and VIP handling
  • Registration and accreditation
  • Accommodation and airport handling
  • Technical production and interpretation
04

carry it

The summit ends on a Friday. What it changes is decided over the following eighteen months. We build the communications that outlive the venue hire: the media relationships, the footage, the outcome documents, the platforms that keep a commitment visible until someone acts on it.

  • Strategic communications and public affairs
  • Media relations and spokesperson prep
  • Film, photography and broadcast
  • Digital platforms and delegate apps
  • Outcome documentation and reporting
