Tom Daktari - Pulse TikTok Influencer of the Year 2023
In 2023, comedian Tom Daktari scooped the Pulse TikTok Influencer of the Year award, a recognition he rightly deserved.
His comments on the red carpet further demonstrated how his unique style of humour won him the award. In his remarks, Tom confidently stated the worthiness of the award, saying:
“Ukishinda award unatulia sababu nimeideserve, unarelax tu, usikae nikama hukuwa unajua kwa sababu wakati mwingine unafanya kazi, mpaka unajiambia na mniaward sasa.”
His light-hearted yet self-assured comment was a reflection of his comedic persona.
Murugi Munyi - Pulse Instagram Influencer of the Year 2022
Podcaster and influencer Murugi Munyi has achieved recognition both individually and with her podcast co-host Lydia KM.
In 2022, Murugi won the Pulse Instagram Influencer of the Year award, alongside the Podcast of the Year. Delivering a short yet powerful speech, she affirmed her greatness and expressed her gratitude for the recognition.
“I have run out of speeches for the evening now, but I am so grateful for this award. I was nominated last year and I really badly wanted to win, but I didn’t and I am glad that I have today. I have never doubted my own greatness but I am glad that Kenya can see it too.”
Her words were a testament to perseverance and self-belief.
The Good Company KE - Pulse Media Influencer of the Year Award 2023
In the 2023 Pulse Influencer Awards, Kevin Okeyo, a representative of The Good Company KE, which won the Pulse Media & Blogger Influencer of the Year, shared a piece of advice with fellow content creators.
His message was short yet profound, resonating with many influencers: “From the Bible, your gift will make room for you and put you in tables with great men because at the end of the day, we are an umbrella but everyone comes with a special gift, and the reward only comes by getting out of your shell and seeing which table your gift can put you on.”
His words encouraged others to embrace their unique talents.
HolyDave - Food Influencer of the Year 2023
HolyDave Muthengi, a self-taught chef, clinched the Pulse Food Influencer of the Year award in 2023.
In his acceptance speech, he reminded his fans that his goal is to inspire others to get into the kitchen and whip up a tasty meal.
“My tagline is, I am not a cook but I cook. I am just an average guy inspiring the average person to jump in the kitchen,” he said, also recognising all the nominees in his category.
Boniface Mwangi - Pulse Twitter Influencer of the Year 2021
Activist Boniface Mwangi did something unprecedented at the 2021 Pulse Influencer Awards—he dedicated his award to Esther Kazungu, recognising her work as a creative addressing socio-political issues.
“We live in a country where people who make money off influencing gigs think if they touch politics, they are going to lose gigs. Esther Kazungu is not afraid of mocking the politicians and the establishment and making us laugh. So this award goes to Esther who has done good work and keeps doing so,” said Mwangi as he handed the award to Kazungu.
Pulse Influencer Awards continues to be a platform where inspiring voices shine, motivating many in the digital content creation sphere.
