STARFiSH agent is creating a new Taiwan sporting presence, combining the latest designs, style and fashion, and sports professionals’ spokespersons
Since the founding of STARFiSH Concept Public Relations over 17 years ago, our business has expanded to include a wide range of industries such as luxury goods, fashion, cosmetics, finance, automotive, alcohol and other high-end clients, creating our own unique presence in the industry, with strong roots in Taiwan and a well-established international reputation. In recent years, under the leadership of Managing Director June Yu, we have supported the AAI team to France for the 24h Le Mans for four consecutive years, as well as the Asian 24h Le Mans. In 2016 and 2017 we managed the CDIY and CSIJ-B equestrian events, the 2018-2019 Thai Equestrian Princess’ Cup, the 2018-2019 LONGINES Hong Kong Cup - where we supported the Taiwan Junior equestrians – and we also co-sponsored and partnered with AKA Thailand in 2017-2020, and co-hosted the Primal FC MMA Beach Competition in Phuket, Thailand, ensuring athletes gained exposure from the global and local Taiwan media. We created the new faces of international sports. We also created global media exposure in our international press conference for the wedding of the century between tennis table stars Hung-Chieh Chuang and Fukuhara Ai.
STARFiSH shares the competitive spirit of the world class athletes we represent as we work with them to and ensures that they reach the international stage. On October 3, 2019 STARFiSH launches its “Sports Stars” public relations business at a Global press conference at the Dynasty Club. Guests include diverse sports professionals, Managing Director June Yu, Celebrity MC Ken, and the global team of STARFiSH agents who will share these athletes’ personal success stories, as the firm creates a new face for Taiwan on the global sports stage.
This exclusive STARFiSH event hosts a diverse coterie of sports professionals including leading US UFC star and founder of AKA Thailand, Mike Swick, on his first ever trip to Taiwan, the godfather of racing, Jun San Chen, AAI racing star Betty Chen, Johnson Wu - the youngest Chinese to attain the Kendo rank of Hachida, modified Harley designer Winston Yeh, mother and daughter Wakesurfing Champion pair Kimberly Chen and her 12 year old Jocelyn Chan, the Chairman of Region Eight of the Fédération Équestre Internationale, Jack Huang, and the amazing septuagenarian yoga instructor, Gloria Chen. Sports is a global phenomenon, and STARFiSH is proud to represent leading international and Taiwan athletes. This press conference will serve to introduce the intense personal struggles and stories behind these champions’ successes and their path to professional achievement, and also show how STARFiSH will promote this array of talent to the world. Sports lovers will enjoy seeing a genuine Ferrari 488 GT3 racing car, a white horse from the Hannover Equestrian Club, 2018 Ducati Hypermotard Custom Street Tacker by Rough Crafts, and a full complement of competitive sporting goods on display, ensuring all guests can appreciate more about the respective sports.
June Yu, the Managing Director, notes that: “these athletes working with STARFiSH agent are not only close personal friends and life coaches, but I have learned from them the real athletic spirit, a strong sense of mission, as well as a desire to promote their success to the next generation , ensuring Taiwan’s sporting stars enjoy a place on the international stage where they can reveal Taiwan’s sporting prowess and power. At the same time, they have also encouraged and supported me in establishing the STARFiSH sports talent agency division, and I am pleased to enjoy their trust, as we hope to lead them to new pinnacles of sporting accomplishment at the international level.”
At the end of the press conference, STARFiSH agent Managing Director June Yu will appear together with the sports stars and a photoboard of their success stories. There will be opportunities for autographs and a group photo to officially launch the STARFiSH professional sports talent agency, demonstrating the STARFiSH professional approach and international reach, as the firm integrates sports with style and the arts, as STARFiSH leads these athletes to ever greater achievements!
UFC Star, Mike Swick will be posing for an Esquire magazine exclusive the day after the press conference, as well as attending the Taiwan fashion designers Stephane Dou and Changlee Yugin’s brand DOUCHANGLEE 2020 SS Fashion Show.
The godfather of Taiwan racing, Jun San Chen, remarked: “The racing profession is, at times, a somewhat closed-off sport, but after meeting STARFiSH and their professional publicity team, they have exposed racing to a greater audience. I hope to continue cooperating with STARFiSH into the future, as we develop our domestic racing sports. ”
The world’s youngest Chinese master Kendo Hachida, Johnson Wu, stated: “The path to Kendo is about training the hear; as one trains with the sword one develops human character, and the Kendo spirit ensures a strong devotion to patience and lasting values. By working with STARFiSH with its focus on sporting stars, I am sure we will witness a new athletic milestone.”
Jack Huang, Chairman of Region Eight of the Fédération Équestre Internationale explained: “One of the most rewarding and pleasing things in life is to enjoy a shared interest and activity with one’s family. So I am very happy that STARFiSH has afforded me this opportunity to share the equestrian sport with the public. Even though equestrian enjoys a reputation as the sport of Kings, it is also highly egalitarian. Equestrian is one of the few sports where men and women can compete together on an equal footing in the same events. It is also a sport where humans and animals interact with great sincerity, and it affords an excellent opportunity for close family bonds. Instead of describing equestrian as a sport, it might be more apt to describe it as a lifestyle.”
Kimberly Chen, a wakesurfing champion said: “After having competed in wakesurfing for three years now, I had never thought my interest would expose me to the world stage, but working with StarFish made me realize that if you really love a sport and are dedicated, it is possible to teach the public an appreciation of your favorite sports, and ignite the sparks of their interest, too”.
Winston Yeh, design champion for modified Harleys, notes: “If you want to try to be the best at something in Taiwan, the professional perspective that STARFiSH offers is perfect to resolve any challenges along the way”.
Gloria Chen, an amazing 70 plus yoga instructor explains:”STARFiSH has allowed me to reach a new peak in life, as I am able to explore diverse people, activities and things. I aspire to continue enjoying STARFiSH leadership to help senior citizens to engage in yoga, developing body and mind and enjoying the Lohas spirit everyday”.
Mike Swick, founder of AKA Thailand remarks how:“It has been an absolute pleasure working with June Yu and STARFiSH Concept the last 4 years. Her expertise is vast and her results speak for themselves. I look forward to a long and successful relationship with June and STARFiSH !”

【彭博觀察】電動車時代到來 或將擊垮幾家行業巨頭
汽車行業的未來將與手機行業的歷史遙相呼應。這兩個行業甚至出現了技術重疊:鋰離子電池。隨著全球汽車廠商逐漸由內燃機轉向電機,今天的一些主要汽車企業將重蹈曾經的手機巨頭們的覆轍。還記得黑莓(BlackBerry)、諾基亞(Nokia)和Palm嗎?
「誰將成為電動車之戰的贏家?誰知道呢?」高德納諮詢公司(Gartner)高階研究主管拉姆齊(Mike Ramsey)說道。「或許是老牌廠商吧,又或許,它們會被徹底淘汰出局。」
挑花了眼
由於市場持續供過於求,電動車的早期使用者面臨眼花繚亂的選擇。
在這場行業變局中,汽車展廳裡將湧現出過多的電動車之選。據彭博新能源財經的最新統計,2019年及2020年,市場上將新增85款電池動力車型,使全球此類車型的總數達到357款。其中,福士汽車(Volkswagen)位居前列,該公司宣稱要在2020年底前新增20款電動車型,到2025年再新增80款。而就在12月,這家德國車廠表示目前正在設計的燃油車將是其最後一批此類車型。
但出發得早未必就能贏得比賽。1999年,本田汽車(Honda)在美國市場率先推出了混合動力車型Insight,據說該車型能在高速公路上實現1加侖(約3.8升)汽油跑70英哩(約113公里)的太空時代奇蹟。然而,時隔幾個月後進入美國市場的豐田(Toyota)普銳斯反而成了環保汽車的標杆。各種跟風的混合動力車型蜂擁而至,無一能撼動普銳斯的地位。
「一兩款車型就能收割一整個細分市場,」布勞爾表示。20年來,普銳斯幾乎拿下了迄今為止電動車銷量的半壁江山。
在電動車領域斬獲此類標杆地位的汽車廠商將能在多年內保持領先勢頭。目前,特斯拉汽車(Tesla)似乎取得了這樣的優勢,但市場上應該還能容納另外一兩種典範車型——比如一款更平價的SUV,或一款電動皮卡。
電力滿滿
彭博分析師預計電動汽車的銷量將在20年內趕超內燃機汽車。
無助於有效界定所屬類別的車型將步履維艱。「電動車領域的長尾會非常顯著,很多車型的銷售都不會太好,」彭博新能源財經的分析師麥克拉徹(Colin McKerracher)表示。
目前,在中國以外的地區,日產(Nissan)Leaf、雪佛蘭(Chevy)Bold、BMW i3等非特斯拉電動車的銷售都不太好。分析師預計,隨著電池成本的下降以及廠商推出更多時下流行的SUV款電動車,未來幾年的市場情況將有所改變。這意味著在接下來的10年左右,老牌汽車公司的高管們需要努力完成一場驚險的財務雜耍:繼續通過燃油車推動收益增長,等待電動車羽翼豐滿,迎頭趕上。基本上,他們要用舊技術積累資金,然後用這筆資金推動下個時代的到來,而時機也很難把握。太早跳上電動列車,整個公司或會喪失前進的能源;而太晚起跳則會輸掉電動車的競賽。
特斯拉這樣的初創公司有一點好處——它們不需要操心這種尷尬的起跳時機。它們的規模很小,經驗也不足,但它們不必費心養護一項正緩緩退出舞台的傳統業務。
更讓傳統廠商頭疼的是,電動車的需求走勢未必是一條直線,特別是在油價飆漲或政府補貼下滑的情況下。而當戴姆勒(Daimler AG)和大眾等公司為電動車投入的越多,此類車型的銷售任務就會越緊迫,行業邁向盈利的步伐就會越快。
「目前,這個領域有種自滿的感覺,」麥克拉徹表示,「未來我們會看到產量提升和成本下降的良性迴圈。這一點一直是電動車領域所缺失的。」
不過,僅僅製造出優秀的電動車、並完美把握住市場時機仍然是不夠的。在特斯拉,一款秀色可餐的轎車只是起步。這家公司發展壯大的部分原因在於,它跳過了中間商,直接與消費者交易,並允許每個人定製自己心中的汽車。另外,特斯拉汽車能遠端持續更新軟體,這基本打破了汽車行業以年份劃分車款的概念。
汽車行業的元老們則無法直接向客戶銷售產品,因為會違反與經銷商的合同。反過來,經銷商也沒有多少動力推動電動車的銷售。電動裝置不能帶來源源不斷的零部件和保養的收入,而這部分收入佔美國常規4S店收入的12%。電動車永遠不需要防凍液,不需要更換新的火花塞,甚至不用更換機油。
「傳統廠商似乎以為電動車不過是換了一種動力系統,」拉姆齊說,「如果市場大舉轉向電動車,這些公司可能需要……改變對市場的整個思維模式。」
雖然老牌汽車廠商們已經各就各位,但它們或將迎來一個好幾代人未曾見過的激烈競爭局面。電動馬達的技術更簡單,這大大降低了市場門檻。拼湊出一輛普普通通的電動車越來越像一種採購行為,而非某種製造業的神技:採購一種優質電池,物色電機和其他標準化零件的可靠供應商。買不到的小部件則越來越容易用3D列印機列印出來。
電動馬達系統和智慧製造系統有望推開汽車製造業的大門。「100年來,由於資金成本高昂,汽車廠商一直卡著這項業務的脖子,」拉姆齊說,「這種情況正發生切實的改變。現在,你基本可以不依賴任何人,自己造出一輛電動車來。」
以Rivian Automotive為例,這家車廠在11月的洛杉磯車展上展出了全電動的SUV和皮卡車。在短短9年時間裡,這家總部位於密歇根州普利茅斯市的公司與附近的眾多供應商建立了良好關係,並打造出了兩款概念車。其皮卡車預計在2020年上市,屆時有望從那個長期由福特(Ford)F系列主導的最賺錢的細分市場上分一杯羹。而不同於福特的F-150,Rivian將兼具車斗與後備箱,只是它的後備箱設在前面——內燃機引擎空出的位置。
拉姆齊認為,面對這樣的壓力,業內的一些大型廠商有可能會銷聲匿跡。但他仍然看好越來越多像Rivian這樣的公司,稱它們有望在風起雲湧的電氣化亂局中殺出一條血路。(撰文:Kyle Stock)
