Online marketers and social media gurus need to be able to quickly pick up the social media trends that these Cybrid hipsters are laying down to stay ahead in the game.

Keep an eye on the following disruptions and trends:

Facebook
Digital marketers especially in retail, should really keep an eye on how young folks are slowly shifting away from Facebook and embracing Instagram and SnapChat.
