Trends come and go so quickly that it’s hard to keep up. As social media marketers, we have to be ready to adapt and embrace new strategies. I test new ways to engage with audiences almost every day. I have to be creative and up to date with the trends to be successful on each channel.  Knowing others' experiences and insights help me bridge the gap between what I’m doing and what I should consider doing for a brand's social media. These five influencers share helpful and informative content that challenge the way I approach social marketing. They can do the same for you.   **Brian Solis ** > I once said that the good thing about [#socialmedia](https://twitter.com/hashtag/socialmedia?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) is that it gave everyone a voice. The bad thing about it, is that it gave everyone a voice. I believe this to be truer today than ten years ago. With social media comes great responsibility. > > — Brian Solis (@briansolis) [October 20, 2019](https://twitter.com/briansolis/status/1185957972385525760?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) ** ** Brian not only posts encouraging content for creatives and people in the business world, he also challenges you to look beyond a single perspective. He once said that “Influence is not popularity.” You can define how many people see something. What you can’t truly set, however, is how deeply someone is influenced by someone else. The helpful and encouraging content he posts keeps you working towards excellence. You can follow Brian on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/briansolis?lang=en) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/briansolis/) **Jay Baer** > On [#socialmedia](https://twitter.com/hashtag/socialmedia?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) and [#business](https://twitter.com/hashtag/business?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw)....

His constant insights will enhance your business’s marketing capabilities and change the way you think. The resources he shares are vital to achieving the goals you’ve established for your social media content. You can follow Jay on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/jaybaer) and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaybaer/) **Tyrona Heath** > “I've made a commitment to be as real as possible with what it means to be a woman of color working in an industry where there are not very many people that look like you, especially at the most senior levels”— [@tyrona](https://twitter.com/tyrona?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw), Global Lead, B2B Institute [@linkedin](https://twitter.com/LinkedIn?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [https://t.co/seaU9lvG6j](https://t.co/seaU9lvG6j) > > — Adweek (@Adweek) [April 6, 2020](https://twitter.com/Adweek/status/1247223655580536834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Tyrona is a true social media strategist and inbound marketer.

It's a constant, uncertain battle between optimizing for amplification vs. sharing what you find personally interesting/worthy. > > — Rand Fishkin (@randfish) [December 12, 2018](https://twitter.com/randfish/status/1072948936623583232?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) Rand is a true thought leader with expertise in SEO and all facets of online marketing.
