Social media has disrupted quite a few fields, becoming an integral part of many of them, such as journalism or marketing. And professionals in these fields have had to adapt, or, perhaps, perish. But everybody has a different way of using social media in the digital marketing world — and his or her unique own style.

Or do they? According to Optify, a Seattle-based marketing software provider for digital marketing agencies, there are just seven types of digital marketers depending on how they use social media. And they've laid out these seven categories in an infographic, which can be seen below.

But don't take it too literally.

"The infographic is just supposed to be a fun way for the digital marketers among us to see how we're illustrated compared to others," said Danie Pote, content marketing manager at Optify. "Most modern marketers likely align with not just one, but several of these."

Check out these seven types of digital marketers in this funny infographic below. If you're a digital marketer, do you see yourself reflected in any of these characters?
