Joy Kendi
Travel, lifestyle and beauty content creator Joy Kendi is the definition of a multi-disciplinary brand. Whether it is e-commerce with Jumia, or partnering with Netflix to market their products, perhaps integrating a dash of nightlife liquor company Tanqueray into her rider, Joy is phenomenal. The creative charges Sh250,000 to acquire some of her timeline space on Instagram, and this can connect her audience to your brand at the snap of a finger.

Wayu Wayua
The outlier on the list, body-positive personality Wayu Wayua charges between Sh1,700 a month to almost 16,000 yearly bundle packages.
