Trends come and go, and each generation has their own. Some we look back on fondly, and others we wish had never happened. But either way, following them made us look cool amongst our friends on the playground.

An infographic from Talkwalker lists the top social media marketing trends in 2014. Some were hot in 2013, and others are new this year. Some will stick around for years to come, and others may just be a flash in the pan. Regardless, it’s important to know about them.

Here are a few mentioned in the graphic:

Employee advocacy: “Organizations will realize the requirement of involving all their staff in promoting their content through social media channels.” — Ian Cleary, founder of Razorsocial

Visual content: “Video and image based applications are making the creation and dissemination of videos easier than ever.” — Toni Cowan-Brown, clinet executive at Burson-Marsteller
