Airtel was recognised as a result of its outstanding use of social media platforms to effectively engage with its customers.

As such, Airtel Kenya has continually remained committed to offering quality products and services to its consumers and has therefore invested greatly in the use of social media as tool for engaging and receiving feedback from customers.

Airtel Kenya CEO Adil El Youssefi said; “Our business is anchored on offering quality services to all our customers. This acknowledgement by socialbakers is a true testament of our promise to ensure customer satisfaction in all our dealings. Our customers are our most valued assets and we value their feedback as it will give insights on how to improve on our services.”

It is one of the industry leaders in social media analytics, tracking over 8 million social profiles across all major social platforms including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+ and VK.com.

Businesses across the continent and the world over are always discovering diverse ways to utilise social media as it has proven to contribute to the growth and success of companies. 

From engaging with customers and getting their feedback, to using it as a tool for increasing brand awareness as well as establishing one’s business as an industry expert and expanding one’s professional network. Social media is definitely a force to reckon with especially in the area of customer engagement and ensuring customer satisfaction.
