The Yahoo on the Road bus, as part of this year’s Yahoo Celebrity Awards, is fully equipped with mobile phones and tablets where students experienced Yahoo’s latest products, took photos at the Flickr photobooth, and made requests for performers they want to see at the Yahoo Celebrity Awards Night to be held at the Mall of Asia Arena on July 18, 2014.
The bus served as a stage where the bands performed. Aside from the emerging bands who performed, Rocksteddy and Sponge Cola brought the house down at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines and Lyceum, respectively.
Nitin Mathur, Senior Director, Marketing, Yahoo Asia Pacific, attended the event at FEU and commented, “We are overwhelmed with the energy and enthusiasm we have seen during the campus visits. Yahoo on the Road brings the Yahoo mobile experience closer to students, allowing them to try out the latest Yahoo products, while getting closer to their favorite performers.”
Kate Delos Reyes, Country Manager and Country Editor of Yahoo Philippines shares, “Yahoo on the Road is a new addition to the Yahoo Celebrity Awards and another way that we are honoring the fans who are, really, the stars of this endeavor.
From day one, we have acknowledged that the success of Yahoo Celebrity Awards is because it is ‘powered by you’, the millions of fans who vote for their favorite celebrities.”
