Top Ten again? As my friends “up nort” would say: ya you bettcha!

These lists in themselves may not look like much, but with 18-34 year olds spending 4.3 times more on social media vs. TV radio, newspapers, magazines and books combined, you may want to think about how you’re reaching those you’re trying to influence.
