Join us Dec. 1-3 in New Orleans for the Digiday Programmatic Marketing Summit
The problem with being avant garde is that the public isn’t always ready for your art.
Yesterday, it was brought to my attention that there was a Twitter trend around the hashtag “adtechhaikus” started by Ari Paparo of Appnexus. I could only think of Three Lines, One Cat, the Digiday project that we started back in February involving digital media-related haikus and pictures of cats — a perfect juxtaposition of words and, well, cats.
It didn’t catch on with people as we had hoped it would, but, alas, we were before our time. Here are the top 5 ad tech haikus from Twitter yesterday. If you have your own ad tech haikus that you’d like us to pair with a cat image and put on Three Lines, One Cat, email it to me.
