Pulse Africa, the leading digital company in Africa established the Pulse Influencer Awards. The Awards are aimed at recognizing and highlighting bright lights in the influencer space in Africa, who are building active ever engaging communities around their niche and craft.

The awards take place in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Senegal, and Côte d’Ivoire featuring various categories across all online platforms.

In this year’s edition, there were 26 categories. Some content creators bagged more than one ward. The influencers were awarded for their stellar works in different categories as voted by members of the public. The voting stage of the awards was among the final stages before the final award ceremony which took place this past weekend.

“Before voting, the nominees are selected by members of the public through open nominations which see tens of influencers named by their fans.”

The final list is then arrived at by an independent jury that selects the top ten nominees per category by assessing each nominee’s creativity, content quality and range, engagement, and community building as well as the use of social tools.

This year’s jury was made up of Jennifer Ochieng, a film/TV publicist, Gathoni Kimuyu, a renowned screenwriter and producer and voice actor, Loreh Marvin a digital marketing specialist, Brian Kuira a digital and PR marketing specialist and Brian Mutinda, an associate creative director and digital marketer.

Also on the jury, were: renowned chef and content creator Qamili Dave, Digital marketer and content creator Brian Mbunde, Joan Melly content creator and marketer, and finally Charles Wahinya influencer manager and digital marketing strategist.

“Besides a high voter turnout and a bigger event, this year’s edition has also seen a good number of sponsors come in to support the ceremony.”
