In 2010 we had the inaugural Rock Your Life Social Media awards. In 2011 we have had some wonderful new entrants and nominations and definitely some of the 2010 people revisiting. This year it’s been a bit of an award scoop in fact and I want to acknowledge someone who has built their brand tremendously in 2011, who has literally been everywhere, a champion for their cause and just helping so many people.
In fact in 2011 they have won the following awards:
Best You Tube Content
Most interesting content
Most prolific social media person
and was the founder of the winner of Best Fan Site
