Organised by Pulse, the Awards in the past four editions have leveraged the media company’s presence across 6 African countries and an audience reach of over 70 million people to increase pan-African visibility, secure brand partnerships and build credibility for nominees across various markets.

This year, the platform builds on that impact by focusing more intentionally on institutional credibility and long-term value.
