At Kenyans.co.ke, we offer a vibrant space for you to explore your creative abilities, without the constrictions of traditional media. 

We are a technology company at the centre of revolutionising the digital media space in Kenya. So far, we have been trailblazers in everything and anything digital, from ads to viral videos to the most compelling human-interest stories Kenyans have ever engaged with before.

Here, we value creativity, foresight, passion and discipline more than academic credentials, experience, networks and references. When you join us, we invest in you, build on your expertise, accentuate your strengths and let you transcend your previous limits into the you that you can be truly proud of. 

We are looking for storytellers, whether in video, text, animation or graphics - you can weave a story from an everyday occurrence and make it interesting, shareable and impactful, all with your name on it. 

This requires passion - our most valued trait - that you can couple up with critical and creative thinking to bring to life stories that truly touch the hearts of our audiences and prompt them to action - or better still - inspire their lives, lighten the difficulties of their lives and importantly, inform or educate them. 

The unfortunate times of the Covid-19 pandemic that we are living in have laid bare the future of creators - online. The web technology is evolving faster than it has ever had, and Kenyans.co.ke has been quick to adapt to the change.

Digital creatives, have the upperhand for the foreseeable post COVID-19 future. Want to shape public opinion? Set the agenda? Build a career that is sustainable and impactful? Why not start where there is a ready, eager, and aspirational audience? Kenyans are a discerning people online, they are hunting, hungry for not just news but content that engages their percipient selves. Can you be that guy? 

How well can you utilise the happenings around your environment to create content that captures the imagination of Kenyans? The true winners in this ongoing digital evolution are those that can nail storytelling from the everyday incidences and events.

Those who wait for ‘major’ events to happen, are demonstrably dying out, Kenyans have no patience for that, they can get it from social media, or their friends - they want value - which only comes from critically analysing daily happenings into a well-packaged story that either informs, triggers reflection or entertains without being overly petty and inconsumable.

Who are we looking for, you ask? Two years experience in content creation, especially the digital industry. At least, a bachelor’s degree should accompany your application.

Think you can be the next stellar content creator?
