ADVISORY, April 24, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
What:
Google Inc. (Nasdaq:GOOG) and YouTube, Inc. will visit the
Nasdaq MarketSite in Times Square to kick-off YouTube's month-long
10th birthday celebrations. Founded in 2005, YouTube is the world's
most popular online video community allowing more than a billion
people to discover, watch and share originally created videos.
YouTube provides a forum for people to connect, inform and inspire
others across the globe and acts as a distribution platform for
original content creators and advertisers large and small.
In honor of the occasion, Robert Kyncl, Google VP of
Content and Business Operations for YouTube, will ring the
Closing Bell. He will be joined by some of YouTube's top
creators, Grace Helbig, Hannah Hart and Dude Perfect who between
them have almost 9 million subscribers.
- Grace Helbig: Hilarious, genuine, humble and
caring, this self-proclaimed introvert, is a YouTube superstar,
having amassed over 2.1 million subscribers with her authentic
voice and irreverent humor. Her devoted fans tune in regularly to
watch her channel, It's Grace (85 million views). Grace can now
also add NYT bestselling author, star of Camp Takota, and host of
the new E! primetime talk show, "The Grace Helbig Show," to her
growing list of accolades.
- Hannah Hart: Hannah's channel grew around the
success of her show My Drunk Kitchen, where she cooks and makes
puns while buzzed. A philanthropist at heart, Hannah has
converted the energy of her global YouTube community of almost 2
million subscribers for good: she started a volunteer effort where
fans regularly organize meetups at local food banks around the U.S.
and the world.
- Dude Perfect: Known for their incredible trick
shots and "stereotypes" videos, in which they poke fun at common
sports stereotypes. These 5 best friends and a panda have racked up
impressive views and collaborations with sports celebrities from
around the world while channeling their fame for good, working with
charities including Charity Water.
