Influencer media kit template 2026 — Kenya creators' guide

Brands in Kenya and across Africa expect clear, verifiable proof of performance. A sharp media kit answers brand questions before they ask them — who your audience is, how you perform, what you charge, and how you'll measure results. This guide walks Kenyan creators through a complete, editable influencer media kit template 2026, with sample rate cards in KES, sharing templates for WhatsApp and email, and notes on using Anga to get verified, receive campaign invites and secure M‑Pesa payouts.

1. One-page media kit structure (copy, paste, edit)

Start with a 1–2 page media kit that brands can open on mobile. Keep images compressed (<500 KB) to save data. Here's the exact order that converts:

1. Header: Name, niche, city (e.g., Nairobi), platform handles, contact (WhatsApp number).
2. Quick stats block: Follower counts per platform; primary audience location; engagement rate; average reach/views; top-performing content snapshot.
3. What I do: Short bullet list of offer (Reels, TikTok short, Stories, YouTube mention, live shopping).
4. Case study (single page): 1–2 recent campaigns with results (reach, engagement, link clicks or sales) and a short testimonial.
5. Deliverables & rates: Clear rate card with add-ons (usage rights, exclusivity, extra edits).
6. Audience details: Age, gender, cities, interests, language.
7. Process & turnaround: Brief workflow, revision policy, payment terms (M‑Pesa / escrow).
8. Assets & examples: Thumbnails of top posts with short captions and metrics.
9. Call to action: How brands can book you (WhatsApp + link to your Anga profile).

Quick copyable block (paste into Canva or Google Slides)

Header: "Jane Mwangi — Lifestyle Creator (Nairobi) | IG: @janemwangi | WhatsApp: +2547XXXXXXXX"
One-line bio: "I help Nairobi mums find affordable family meals and weekend spots. Average Reel views: 25k — 40k."

2. Exact stats brands want (and how to report them)

• Followers (by platform) — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook. Show verified counts and date captured.
• Engagement rate — use this formula: (likes + comments + saves) / followers × 100. Also show per-post average engagement for last 10 posts.
• Average reach / views — show typical reach for static posts and average 7‑day views for reels/TikTok.
• Audience location — % in Kenya (Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu), then East Africa, then rest.
• Age & gender breakdown — useful for product fit.
• Top content themes & formats — e.g., recipe videos, fashion try-ons, mobile money tutorials.
• Case study metrics — concrete outcomes: traffic, promo code redemptions, sales, app installs. Link to your UTM-tracked reports. (See our UTM guide: UTM parameters for influencer campaigns — 2026 Kenya.)

3. Sample media kit pages and editable templates

Below are three copyable templates: one-page PDF outline, a two-page case study layout, and a one-line rate card table you can paste into Google Sheets or Excel.

One-page PDF outline (editable)

Top: Name | Niche | City | WhatsApp
Left column: Key stats (followers per platform, engagement rates). Right column: Services + 3 sample thumbnails with metrics. Bottom: 2-line case study + CTA to WhatsApp or Anga profile (join Anga).

Case study page (paste content)

Campaign: "Naivas Weekend Meal Box" — 3x Reels + 2 Stories. Results: Reach 320k; Engagement 27k (8.4% ER); Promo code NAIVAS20 = 142 redemptions; Estimated attributable sales KES 178,000 (~USD 1,380). Testimonial: "Clear brief, timely delivery — 1,000 boxes sold in 2 days." — Brand manager.

Rate card example (copy into a table)

Deliverable	Typical price (KES)	Notes
Instagram Reel (15–60s)	KES 12,000–40,000 (~USD 90–300)	Includes 1 caption, 2 edits
Instagram Story (3 frames)	KES 4,000–10,000 (~USD 30–75)	Link sticker or swipe-up if available
TikTok video	KES 10,000–35,000 (~USD 75–260)	Depends on original sound & production
YouTube mention (under 90s)	KES 18,000–60,000 (~USD 135–450)	Higher if long-term placement
Live shopping / Livestream (1 hour)	KES 25,000–80,000 (~USD 190–600)	Include commission structure if sales-based

Adjust by audience size and proof: nano influencers (1k–10k) charge at the lower end; micro (10k–100k) at mid; mid-tier 100k+ higher. Add 20–50% for exclusivity or commercial usage rights. For precise KPIs to include when pricing campaigns, see Influencer marketing KPIs 2026 — Choose, Measure & Benchmark.

4. Pricing guidance — how to set and justify rates

Set a base rate per platform and a deliverable multiplier. Example method:

1. Start with a base CPM estimate for Reels (e.g., KES 200–800 per 1,000 views for niche content).
2. Estimate expected views from past posts (e.g., average 30k views × KES 300 CPM = KES 9,000).
3. Add production time & rights + 20% contingency (lighting, transport). Round up to nearest 1,000.

Use local market anchors: a small Nairobi-based food creator with strong engagement might charge KES 12k–25k for a Reel. A travel creator with 50k engaged followers could charge KES 35k–80k depending on deliverables and usage.

5. Add-ons and negotiation points

• Usage rights: charge +25–100% for longer-term commercial reuse outside the original post.
• Exclusivity: 7–14-day category exclusivity = +15–40% depending on product category.
• Rush delivery: +20–50%.
• Product sales commission: agree clear tracking (promo codes + UTM links). Read our promo code playbook: Influencer promo codes: design, tracking & optimization 2026.

6. How to share your media kit with brands (Kenya-first practical tips)

Data matters in Kenya: many brand managers work from mobile on WhatsApp. Share a compact PDF and a short WhatsApp pitch. Use your Anga profile for professional presentation and secure bookings.

WhatsApp pitch (copy-paste)

"Hi [Name], I'm Jane Mwangi — lifestyle creator based in Nairobi. I made a short media kit with audience stats and a recent case study (10k reach → 142 sales). PDF here. If you're open, I can send package options for a weekend campaign. WhatsApp: +2547XXXXXXX — or view my booking profile: join Anga."

Email pitch (copy-paste)

Subject: Media kit + quick package options — [Your name]
Body: Short intro, 1–2 lines why you fit their audience, attach media kit, and include CTA to book a call or accept terms on Anga. Provide M‑Pesa payment option and mention escrow if using Anga.

Pro tip: compress images, keep PDF under 500 KB so brands on mobile-data can open fast. Use JPG thumbnails and link to larger video examples on YouTube or your Anga profile when needed.

7. Proof and trust signals — verification that closes deals

• Include screenshots of analytics (cover sensitive numbers with blur if needed) dated and labelled.
• Show a scanned business card or ID for trust. On Anga, identity verification is built in and both creators and brands are verified and rated after each campaign.
• Offer UTM links and unique promo codes to prove ROI. See the UTM guide above for setup.

8. Delivery, measurement and follow-up

Tell brands exactly how you'll measure success: reach, views, likes, comments, CTR and promo code redemptions. After the campaign, send a short report with screenshots and links to the posts, and include UTM or promo-code data. If a brand asks about retargeting after the campaign, check our influencer retargeting guide: Influencer Retargeting 2026: Step-by-Step Guide for Brands.

9. Examples from Kenya (what works right now)

- A Nairobi-based food creator turned a KES 20,000 Reel package into KES 178,000 of estimated attributable sales by using timed promo codes during a supermarket weekend activation.
- A Mombasa travel creator negotiated a KES 30,000 livestream with commission on bookings for a local lodge; the brand paid via M‑Pesa after verification and escrow on Anga.p>
