These personalities will lead this year’s Pulse Influencer Awards with perfection. The Pulse Influencer Awards has been set up to recognise and highlight bright lights in the influencer space in Africa who are building active engaged communities around their niche or craft.

According to the organisers, the African media landscape, like the rest of the world, is changing quickly.

Digital media is the new mainstream, and as such, the role of influencers in driving this change cannot be over-emphasised.

This initiative is aimed primarily at engaging the influencer communities, highlighting the most consistent and impactful creators, and ultimately also helping to strengthen the growth of digital media across Africa.

The Pulse Influencer Awards is expected to generate vast interest, engagement, and reach across social media in all the participating countries.

This year’s jury comprises of the brightest minds from across the globe who have a wealth of experience in the digital/media/partnership landscape.

They include Ali Jihami, Marketing and Export Manager at Ghandour Cosmetics Ltd, Cyril-Alex Gockel, also known as C-Real, a prominent Ghanaian rapper, songwriter, and entrepreneur and Harold Amenyah, a prominent Ghanaian film star, lifestyle, and brand influencer.

The jury was responsible for screening the submitted nominations and selecting the Top 10 nominees per category.

As anticipation grows, the big question is: who wins the Influencer of the Year?
