Sometimes a digital trend can be hard to predict. Hot one minute, and then completely cold the next, a trend is only as good as the buzz that’s behind it — and even then, it can be hard to predict.

Adweek recently posted an infographic, located below, that discusses the various digital trends that have gained some big buzz — mainly across social media. The infographic, compiled by Bell Pottinger Digital, was put together using its online listening tool, the Crimson Hexagon, to find all publicly available data from the Internet around certain topics, which are identified as digital trends. They’re ranked below in the infographic.

“While technology will be one of the biggest drivers of marketing change in the new year, the key focus for brands will be on delivering truly integrated strategies, said James Thomlinson, partner and managing director of Bell Pottinger Digital. “Every year new hardware and software appears, but the most successful brands in 2015 will be those that harness new technology to deliver a single experience to consumers wherever they are in their journey.”

The infographic covers 15 topics in all, including the following: Near-Field Communication, The Internet of Things, Wearable Tech, Internal Communications, Storytelling, Branded Content, Beacons, Personalization, Big Data, Content Marketing, Augmented Reality, 3D Printing, Real-Time Marketing, Mobile and Gamification. Each one is broken down with certain stats and numbers, such as mobile’s outreach with over 1.4 million mentions, and gamifications’s projected market of $2.8 billion by 2016 — a huge rise from the $242 million reported back in 2012.

Out of all of these, near-field communication takes the top spot, with a 358 percent increase in conversation, thanks to 42,530 mentions throughout 2014 in news articles. By 2017, the article indicates, half of today’s smartphone users will use mobile wallets as a preferred payment method, compared to credit cards or cash.

Check out the details below, and take note. These could be the next big trends we’re looking at.
