Committed to collaboration and driven by results, we work with our clients to unlock potential and achieve success.

About

Meta-Tag is an immersive technology studio helping venues, brands and sponsors turn every fan interaction into measurable value.
We blend Web3-powered digital wallets, smart activations and creative storytelling to unlock verified data, repeat engagement and real-world ROI.

Based in the UK and working globally, we help brands across sport, entertainment, hospitality and festivals move beyond reach — turning audience engagement into verified data, measurable ROI and tangible value for sponsors before, during and long after the event.   Connect. Collect. Reward.

Our Mission

To transform how fans, customers and visitors connect with the brands they love.

We bridge the gap between physical and digital worlds — creating immersive, mobile-first experiences that deliver value for audiences and measurable outcomes for partners.

We specialise in

  • Web3 Digital Wallets – The engine behind always-on engagement. Wallets capture verified data, deliver personalised rewards and trigger real-time actions that brands can measure instantly.
  • Immersive Experiences – From gamified brand activations to AR moments and digital collectibles — we help brands stand out, spark participation and create memorable interactions.
  • Tokenised Rewards & GiftCard3.0 – Working with leading partners, we build next-gen loyalty and value systems. Think stable, spendable, programmable rewards: points, perks, benefits and instant redemptions.
  •  Creative & Campaign Strategy –  We design engagement flows, user journeys and branded content that make wallets, activations and loyalty programmes feel natural, fun and worth returning to.

Powered by World-Class Technology

Meta-Tag builds on the foundation of SMT (SmartMedia Technologies) and BLOCKv— the world’s leading Web3 engagement and loyalty platform trusted by:

Visa · Olympics · FIFA · NFL · Inter Miami CF · Vodafone · Amex

This partnership means our clients get:

  • Enterprise-grade technology
  • Proven fan-engagement frameworks

  • Measurable, verified zero-party data
  • Global best-practice in Web3 loyalty and brand engagement

All delivered through beautifully simple, mobile-first experiences.

Why Brands & Venues Work With Us

  • We make fan engagement measurable – Every scan, tap, reward, redemption, video view or action has a data trail — giving sponsors and partners real visibility on ROI.
  • We build experiences fans actually want – Simple onboarding, instant rewards, mobile-first design and value you can feel immediately.
  • We deliver verified, zero-party data – Clean, accurate data direct from the fan — no third parties, no guesswork.

  • We collaborate deeply – Clubs, agencies, sponsors, tech partners, festival operators — we play nicely with everyone and integrate into existing workflows.
