In recent years, one of the most withstanding trends has been the use of memes. If you don't quite understand what a "meme" is, it is an image of real people or from popular culture, with a quote, slogan or witty comment edited on. At Thrive, we love memes (check out our specific [Pinterest board](https://www.pinterest.com/thrivehq/)) so here is a collection of our favourites:  ### 1. What do you do for a living? #### ![digital-marketing-what-i-really-do-scaled1000](https://www.thriveability.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/digital-marketing-what-i-really-do-scaled1000.png?width=1024&name=digital-marketing-what-i-really-do-scaled1000.png) ### 2.
