Social Media Marketing in Kenya by Zalika Digital
Introduction: Why Social Media is the New Powerhouse of Marketing
The digital landscape in Kenya and across Africa is rapidly evolving, and at its heart is social media. With over 11 million active users in Kenya alone, social platforms have become the primary arena for customer engagement, brand storytelling, and lead generation. As businesses compete for visibility and market share, those who understand how to leverage social media platforms are the ones winning.
At Zalika Digital, we understand the cultural pulse, digital trends, and behavioural patterns that define social media users in Kenya. We don’t just manage pages; we build communities, drive conversations, and deliver measurable results.
The State of Social Media in Kenya: A Strategic Opportunity
- Facebook remains the most widely used platform, with a strong presence across urban and semi-urban regions.
- Instagram and TikTok are the go-to platforms for youth-oriented brands and influencer-driven campaigns.
- LinkedIn is emerging as a powerful B2B platform in Kenya, especially for corporate services and job recruitment.
- Twitter (X) remains influential in politics, finance, and tech.
Zalika Digital helps brands position themselves strategically on each platform, combining local insights with global strategies. We don’t believe in copy-paste tactics—our campaigns are tailored for your niche, product, and audience.
