BEIJING, June 25 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — XFMedia , a leading media group in China, announced today that it has hired Mr. Richard Young, an executive with broad experience in sports television rights, to assist the Company as it expands further its sports content focused broadcast assets.
Photo link:
Mr. Young holds the new title of Managing Director of the Xinhua Sports Division, leveraging XFMedia’s unique position and resources in China to build sports content for its broadcast, print and production assets. Xinhua Sports intends to provide an integrated marketing solution for advertisers focusing on China’s growing number of sports viewers while offering access into China’s market for the international sports leagues.
“As interest in sports grows in China so does the need for a sports broadcast operation with numerous ways to reach sports fans, as ESPN has in the US,” said XFMedia CEO Ms Fredy Bush. “The international sports leagues want access to China’s TV audience, and distribution is hard to get, especially nationwide. I believe Richard will play a significant role in helping XFMedia to expand its activities in this area.”
In February, XFMedia arranged for the NFL’s Superbowl to be broadcast in China through the national satellite television channel NMTV, the only nationwide broadcaster to carry the game live.
Ms Bush said XFMedia is planning to add to its assets in the broadcasting area. “In terms of expansion, we will focus particularly on sports and finance broadcasting. Television is one of our larger margin businesses and the opportunities are significant. According to CTR Market Research, the estimated total advertising revenue of four major nationwide and provincial sports channels in China from January to May 2008 is around RMB 8.2 billion (i.e. approximately US$1.2 billion) with 59% year-over-year growth,” she said.
“XFMedia has the assets and resources to create an impressive sports offering to the growing number of sports fans in China,” said Mr Young. “This 360 degree approach creates an integrated solution for advertisers to reach their target and for major sports rights holders to reach viewers in China.”
Prior to joining XFMedia, Mr. Young founded and managed a company providing television consulting services in production, distribution and media rights in China for sports leagues, broadcasters and other clients. Previously, he worked with ESPN STAR Sports in Singapore, a joint venture between ESPN and Star TV, where he held a number of senior positions including Vice-President of Operations and Client Services and Vice-President of Event Management Group and Program Development. His experience also includes a number of years working for Sports International, Entertainment Plus Ltd at a time when it was the largest professional sports management group in Taiwan.
Mr Young has more than 15 years experience in event management, sales, acquisition, marketing and integration, with deep experience in television rights and client service in 15 Asian countries. He graduated Cum Laude with a dual-bachelor degree in International Relations and East Asian Studies from Boston University and has an MBA from University of Chicago. He speaks, reads and writes Mandarin Chinese.

LONDON, June 25 /PRNewswire/ — This week DDB unveil their new campaign for the Harvey Nichols Summer Sale.
The campaign takes a wry look at the predatory nature of sale shopping featuring live vultures diving in to capture the most coveted designer sale items.
Beautifully shot by Karena Perronet-Miller, three stunning images comprise the campaign that features a vulture prying a gorgeous red Galliano dress away, two vultures fighting over a sexy red leather DSquared jacket, and the majestic wing span of a vulture swooping down on this season’s hottest bright red Alexander McQueen heels.
Julia Bowe, Marketing Director at Harvey Nichols, comments, “This campaign positions Harvey Nichols as the ultimate sale destination with the most fabulous items being circled by vultures ready to swoop down onto the lavish bargains. It depicts the nature of vultures being protective over the most desirable items and exaggerates how covetable each item in the Harvey Nichols sale is.”
The ‘Vultures’ campaign will appear in national and regional press titles.

OAKLAND, Calif., June 24 /PRNewswire/ — Just in time for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Alex Cheng shares adventures of his eight years with an Olympic and sports timing company engaged in a wide spectrum of sports. He reveals behind-the-scene stories and shenanigans at such major events as the Montreal and Lake Placid Olympics, Pan Am Games and Commonwealth Games. He tells why rodeo barrel racing and sailboat racing are similar, how runners are different from swimmers and skiers, and how he introduced starting horns to U.S. competitive swimming.
If you are tired of the usual sports fare that is heavy on megabucks, drug scandals, or limited to top-ranked performers and statistics, here is a book that is refreshingly fun and novel. It is a fascinating — at times hilarious or shocking — collection of stories behind a business devoted to timing of sports events.
Alex entertains the reader with fascinating stories of a company that went into panic mode every weekend with dozens of championship events from Grand Prix to Firemen’s Musters. He shares stories about his unprecedented business of high-level sports timing. There are many observations behind the theater of TV sports that the public does not see. Alex tells human stories of commitment and spirit in the lowest-ranked competitors where there is no TV coverage. Included in the book are many trivia items not commonly known, such as an explanation of the precision timing needed in pigeon racing and how sexual attraction is used as incentive to fly home fast.
Alex yearned to start a company marketing unusual technologies and landed the North American rights to Olympic caliber timing systems made by Omega, the Swiss watch company. Helping his Swiss colleagues adapt to the sloppy nature of American sports is one funny chapter in this unusual book for sports fans. With extraordinary sports timers and scoreboards ranging from $10,000 to $500,000 and finding no established distribution channels for such products, he founded and operated Seagull, Inc. with innovative strategies both within and outside his company. The result was eight years of “fun, stress and lots of fascinating stories.” This book includes many photos taken by the author. “This is an easy-to-read book even for sports fans who don’t read,” says Alex.
Alex grew up in California and participated in many sports but never as a ranked competitor like those he met during his Seagull days. He is an avid snowboarder, competed once in the Canadian Nationals in curling, and raced sailboats in San Francisco Bay for over 20 years. He earned a BS from UCLA and an MBA from Stanford University and roams Silicon Valley as an independent marketing strategist for young companies with unique or leading-edge technologies.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 24 /PRNewswire/ — RSM McGladrey (), a leading provider of accounting, tax and business consulting services, announces its “Who’s Behind Your Success?” nationwide essay contest, featuring LPGA star and Team McGladrey member Natalie Gulbis. Inspired in part by Gulbis’ own personal essay about her father, the “Who’s Behind Your Success?” contest launches June 24 and culminates with a grand prize package that consists of one lucky participant and a guest spending a day with Gulbis in her hometown of Las Vegas, including a morning workout and nine holes of golf, followed by a dinner with Natalie.
The “Who’s Behind Your Success?” contest, which is open to anyone over age 18, invites participants to submit essays of 200 words or less, highlighting the most influential and/or inspirational individual behind the success in their life. Essays can be submitted through Aug. 4, 2008, at the contest’s web site, , which also will feature Gulbis’ own personal essay about her father, who she calls the most influential person behind her success. One grand prize winner will be announced Oct. 21 during the National Championship rounds of The PGA McGladrey Team Championship, the first nationwide grassroots best-ball amateur championship managed by The PGA of America. Five finalists will receive the following: TaylorMade Driver, adidas golf shoes, a Canon Six PowerShot and a SkyCaddie SG-5.
The target launch date coincides with the week of the U.S. Women’s Open at Interlachen Country Club outside Minneapolis, Minn. The “Who’s Behind Your Success?” contest continues McGladrey’s national golf initiatives, which include hosting The PGA McGladrey Team Championship. Along with Gulbis, other Team McGladrey members include PGA Tour Pros Zach Johnson and Chris DiMarco.
“We are excited to launch this contest with Natalie, one of the most popular LPGA golfers in the world,” McGladrey Chief Marketing Officer Mark Audino said. “This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the McGladrey brand through golf and mirrors how McGladrey is behind the success of our middle-market clients to help enhance their business performance. The ‘Who’s Behind Your Success?’ contest enables one lucky person to play golf with one of the best professional golfers in the world. We are proud to be able to offer this opportunity to that person while honoring the individual that has meant so much to them, much like Natalie’s father.”
Gulbis is one of the most well-known golfers on the LPGA. A recent Golf.com online poll showed that Gulbis beat out current No. 1 Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam and Paula Creamer as the LPGA member with whom most golfers would want to play a round of golf. This contest will give one grand prize winner that chance.
“I am very proud to work with McGladrey on the ‘Who’s Behind Your Success?’ contest. I think it’s a great idea for a contest and I hope everyone will participate,” Gulbis said. “I submitted my own essay about my dad, who sacrificed a lot to help me keep my dreams alive, and I hope it encourages people across the country to participate. I’m glad to be a part of the selection process, and I’ll be eager to meet the grand prize winner in person!”
