Pulse Kenya opens voting for Influencer Awards 2024

During this period, audiences will have the opportunity to cast their votes for the top influencers and creators in each of the 22 award categories.

This is a moment for the public to show their support for influencers and creators who have made a meaningful impact in their respective fields. 

The nominees, selected by independent juries, represent the best in their category. Voting is open exclusively on the Pulse Kenya website.

The voting phase ends on 27 September 2024. Once voting is complete, the results will be tallied, and the winners in each category will be revealed at the Pulse Influencer Awards 2024 ceremony in October and also shared across Pulse Kenya’s social media channels and website.

“We’re thrilled to see the energy and excitement from the community during this voting phase,” Pulse director of content, East Africa, Judysheila Mugo said. “It’s an incredible opportunity to celebrate both established and rising influencers.”
