Yahoo’s new owners in Apollo Funds Management are backing Yahoo to the max – and the business is bolting. One of the earliest internet platforms is an entirely different beast today but what is Yahoo? Better question: ‘What isn’tYahoo?’ US giant Verizon sold the company to Apollo for $5 billion earlier this year and it’s been unleashed. Yahoo’s a search company, a digital publisher, a creative agency, a demand- and a sell-side platform used by at least 20 local publishers, an email service used by five million Australians, and a specialist in the emerging market of Augmented, Virtual, and Mixed Reality (AR, VR and MR). “Yahoo is back,” Rachel Page, Yahoo’s GM of Sales, says. And while the Googles and Facebooks of the world are building soaring walls around their products, data and tech, Yahoo has taken a different approach: the community garden. Walled gardens have “some inherent challenges”, Vice President ANZ Paul Sigaloff says. “At Yahoo, it’s a very different approach. It’s about flexibility and collaboration.”
