What happens when an up-and-coming Formula One heartthrob is paired with the latest technological innovation in internet connectivity?
You not only get an exciting new brand ambassador but a broadband stick that's obviously built for speed.
At an exclusive lunch held for members of the media, Globe Tattoo introduced its latest brand ambassador, Marlon Stockinger, a 19-year-old Filipino-Swiss racer who is fast making a name for himself on the Formula One Circuit. Stockinger is pitching Globe Tattoo's 4G-enabled stick, the Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini.
Fastest stick in the land
With up to 10mbps surfing capacity, the Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini is arguably the fastest stick in the land. With the name of the legendary speed master in tow, Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini quenches every web surfer’s thirst for speed as it runs with speeds of up to 10 mbps coming in its sleek and sophisticated design. The Tattoo Tonino Lamborghini Stick comes with the revolutionary HSPA+ device and is free at Tattoo Postpaid Plan 2,199 with Unlimited Data and 200 SMS to Globe/TM monthly. Subscribers may also choose a MyFi Device (speeds of up to 5Mbps) at an additional +P50 per month, so they can share their Tattoo Mobile Broadband connection with up to 5 devices.
It is the first internet device commercially available running on the largest 4G Network in the country for every user to enjoy seamless connectivity anytime, anywhere. With record-setting speeds, users can enjoy consistent video streaming, gaming and other on-line activities. It is connectivity like you have never experienced before.
On the fastrack
In his simple button-down shirt, Stockinger looked like the average teenager—well maybe a bit better-looking than many of them—assuming the air of laid-back cool that boys his age usually adopt.
Stockinger, however, is not like your normal, everyday teen. At 19, Stockinger has had a lot of racing experience under his belt. At the tender age of nine, and encouraged by father Tom, he formed a great relationship with go-kart racing, where he says hardwork made everything fall into place.
Now, with an eight place finish at the Michelin Formula Renault UK 2010 last October to his name, Marlon can really say, he’s carved not just his name in the Formula 1 Racing world and not just raised the Philippine flag in the speedway arena, he’s also spearheaded the entry of another sport that would reach the height of success garnered by boxing (thru Manny Pacquiao) and football (thru the Philippine Azkals team) being the first Filipino to snatch a win in the renowned European tournament.
For Stöckinger, one email is all it took to catapult him to the “rockstar” statue he enjoys today. From dates with the members of different publications to magazine editors and an official launch to boot, Marlon’s adding this precious collaboration under his young achiever’s belt.
“I just feel blessed and thankful that at my age, this great opportunity to represent Globe and what I do came, so I need to make the most out of it.” he sheepishly shared. After his week-long visit to the country, he is again set to fly to Switzerland, to Belgium, to Valencia, Spain and to England—all in the pursuit of conquering the racetrack.
“I ama at this age where I want to just see the world. But of course, there are times when I just want to stay home for a good couple of months and be a kid. But you know, I can’t complain. It’s better than doing nothing at all.” the eldest of three kids shared.
Filipino Connection
“I’d like to think that I do speak fluent Tagalog.” Marlon answered before exploding to shy laughter when asked about his Filipino connection. “But I especially get really nervous when I speak to people (especially the media) because they might think, ‘ahhh, he’s bulok pa.’”
Born and raised in the Philippines until he moved to Switzerland to pursue a career in racing, he gives utmost respect to his Filipina mom, Egin, for never letting him forget his heritage. “My mom is my rock. She’s given me enough strength to go through these challenges most especially in my chosen career.” he quipped, referring to his Philippine-based mom whom he constantly contacts through phone.
Asked if he would consider a movie career like racing buddy Matteo Guidicelli, Marlon answered, “I watch Filipino films every now and then. There are offers, I have to admit, but for now, I want to make racing my priority.”
At a monthly rate of P2,199, the Tonino Lamborghini broadband device provides one-of-a kind speedy internet surfing. Visit www.globe.com.ph/tattoo for additional details.
