Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention please?! Will the real Slim Shady please stand up? Oh… wait. Wrong audience. Sorry.
The Search & Social awards results are now in! If you were entered in any of these categories, check to see if you made it into the top 3. We had A LOT of close calls with the results but I think many of you will be pleased
So take a looksie.
*ps: all results are out of 5, except for the ones in a percentage.
*pps: I KNOW you are all (secretly) wondering who the sexiest man in social media is. If you want to skip everything and go directly to those results, it’s under number 10.
