Influencer of the year

News personality and social media influencer, Kevin McLennan has won the award for ‘Influencer of the Year’.

This at the annual Prism Awards – one of Africa’s top events in public relations and communications.

“This achievement is absolutely monumental to me as I’ve worked extremely hard to get to a point where I feel confident in myself and the content I create,” McLennan said.

One of the most notable parts of Kevin’s social media strategy is his TikTok account where he’s racked up millions of views and 30 000 fans in just four months by introducing his ‘Cheap AF’ series.

“Influencers in South Africa just weren’t doing our people justice when it came to educating on shopping, finance and creating a healthy living environment during Covid-19. I wanted to show people that they could still have a place in their home/office that looked and felt amazing without spending a lot of money.”
