Our Story

Sokobuzz was born out of frustration. Our founders experienced firsthand the challenges of influencer marketing in Africa—brands struggled to find authentic creators, creators faced payment delays and unfair treatment, and there was no platform built specifically for our unique market needs.

In 2022, we set out to change that. We built Sokobuzz with M-Pesa integration from day one, created a secure escrow system to protect both parties, and designed discovery tools that actually work for African audiences.

Today, we're proud to serve thousands of creators and hundreds of brands across Africa, facilitating millions in payments and countless successful campaigns. But we're just getting started.

Our Values

These principles guide everything we do at Sokobuzz.

Authenticity

We believe in genuine connections between brands and creators that resonate with real audiences.

Trust

Our escrow system and verification processes ensure safe, secure transactions for everyone.

Africa-First

Built specifically for African markets with local payment methods and cultural understanding.

Innovation

We continuously improve our platform with cutting-edge technology and user feedback.
