Local residents to judge at the South African Social Media Awards

Sandton-based residents continue to raise the community flag high in the media spaces.

Mrs South Africa Finalist Terisa Hsu Lee and Forbes 30 Under 30 list maker Zareef Minty were announced as judges for the South African Social Media Awards.

The announcement happened at the super trendy nomination lunch that took place at the Sandton Hotel on September 8.

The South African Social Media Awards recognises and celebrates influencer personalities, brands, and agencies. It stands as the pinnacle of recognition in the world of social media.

While numerous awards exist for achievements in social media and marketing, none are as focused and dedicated to honouring the exceptional contributions of Social Media Influencers as the highly sought-after South African Social Media Awards.

The nomination announcement lunch was filled with laughter, joy and a lot of dancing as the SASMA announced their nominees for 2023.

The Social Media Awards has 29 categories recognising the best campaigns, individuals and brands using digital tools. Some of the categories include Social Media Personality of the Year, Most Popular Content Across Social Media Platforms, Most Popular Video Series on social media and more.

Mrs South Africa finalist Terisa Hsu Lee is honoured to be judging at these awards.

“The quality of nominees speaks for itself, these nominees are inspirational and impact millions of people on a daily basis, I am extremely proud of every single nominee that was announced. South Africa keep voting for your favourite.”

SASMA judge and Afribiz Media CEO Zareef Minty emphasised the importance of giving more of the creatives the recognition and platform to inspire and grow.

“The influencer and social media industry in Africa is a billion-dollar industry, I want to see more of our creatives and content creators earning sustainable income moving forward. We have extremely talented youth but we need to teach them the commercial side to social media so they can impact their communities and create employment through their talents.”
