Joseph Adjei, the creative genius and visionary
behind BlacVolta, Ghana’s leading
360° digital media and marketing firm, has been honored as Media Personality of the Year (Digital & Social) at the
just-ended 9th Forty Under 40 Awards.
The prestigious ceremony took place on Friday,
September 5, 2025, at the Labadi Beach Hotel, celebrating the nation’s most
dynamic young leaders shaping industries and communities.
Since establishing BlacVolta in 2022, Adjei has
carved a reputation as a pioneering
creative director and media entrepreneur, transforming the way Ghana and
Africa tell their entertainment stories. Under his leadership, BlacVolta has
become a cornerstone of the continent’s cultural and entertainment ecosystem
documenting, amplifying, and reimagining narratives that connect Ghana to the
world.
A passionate storyteller with an impeccable eye
for detail, Adjei has propelled BlacVolta into the international spotlight. His
impressive body of work spans high-profile global events including Afro Nation Portugal, Afro Nation Miami,
Basketball Africa League (BAL), EMY Africa Awards, AfroFuture, and even the
Grammy Awards. His ability to merge creativity with strategy has positioned
BlacVolta as one of Ghana’s most admired creative brands. Earlier this year,
globally renowned entrepreneur and speaker Vusi Thembekwayo cited BlacVolta as
one of the Ghanaian firms he deeply admires, a testament to the brand’s rising
influence.
The brand itself continues to evolve, pushing
the boundaries of digital lifestyle
experiences. In partnership with Visa,
BlacVolta is introducing the BlacVolta
Lifestyle Card and the BlacVolta App,
designed to seamlessly navigate the city’s hospitality and nightlife ecosystem.
These innovations are set to redefine how Ghanaians and visitors explore
dining, nightlife, and entertainment, merging convenience with culture in one
digital experience.
Looking beyond content creation, Joseph Adjei’s
vision is rooted in propelling Ghana’s
creative and entertainment industries onto the global map. Alongside key
partners, he is spearheading the upcoming Entertainment
Week Ghana, a groundbreaking week-long celebration of creativity, culture,
investment, and connections scheduled for this December. The initiative is set
to become a flagship event spotlighting Ghana’s growing influence in Africa’s
creative economy.
The Forty
Under 40 Awards, organized annually, recognizes and celebrates exceptional
young leaders under the age of 40 who are excelling in their respective fields.
This year’s edition also honored Mary
Anane Awuku of Brain Hills International School as the overall winner of
the night.
Joseph Adjei’s recognition not only cements his
position as a leading media personality but also signals the growing importance
of digital storytelling and creative
innovation in Ghana’s entertainment industry. With his unwavering vision,
BlacVolta continues to lead the charge in redefining how African stories are
told and celebrated on the world stage.
