Pulse Kenya has announced 26 winners of the second edition of the Pulse Influencer Awards. The winners were presented with their awards in a gala event held on Saturday, October 15 at the Mövenpick Hotel & Residences and attended by Kenya’s top influencers. Content creator and podcaster Murugi Munyi was the biggest winner of the night, claiming three titles – YouTube Influencer of the Year, Podcast Influencers of the Year and Instagram Influencer of the Year.

Over 25’s Ivy Mugo “Just Ivy” scooped the Most Innovative Influencer title as well as Kenya’s 2022 Business Influencer of the Year. In her speech moments after receiving the award, she stated: “Just Ivy Africa was born two months ago when I decided I’d like to give a voice to the voiceless in Africa, especially when it comes to women and money. I feel like this is validating in my journey and I just want to tell content creators out there that this business can pay and you can change lives and impact the world. The eye is on Africa right now especially if you are creating content. From Africa to the world, thank you Pulse.”

“I’d like to thank the Influencers, this night would not have been possible without the work you do. We honour the art, and the content you create and it is such a pleasure to offer a platform where you are celebrated.
