FINANCIAL PR opened its office in Taiwan only in the second half of 2010 and has now won its first award -- and it's a major one.

FPR Taiwan clinched the Finance Industry Program Award at the 1st GLOBAL Chinese PR Award ceremony hosted on 5 Jan in Taiwan.

The award was organized by the Public Relations Association at Shangri-La Hotel, and was attended by over 150 people.

A total of 65 companies were nominated in 9 categories for the awards. Eventually, 26 winners were selected by a panel of 27 judges comprising chief editors, professionals, government policy makers, etc.

Not only FPR Taiwan won but also the FPR Singapore and its subsidiary, Aries Consulting in Hong Kong, and Blue Focus (which has a stake in FPR Group) in China won for the best overseas PR cases.

FPR Taiwan, which spearheaded Yangzijiang Shipbuilding's TDR project in 2010, showcased its Yangzijiang strategic investor relations program for the award competition.

After the big success of the Yangzijiang project, FPR Taiwan has undertaken 10 TDR projects and 1 IPO project.

It has also collaborated with top 8 Taiwanese investment banks including Yuanda, Fuban, Sinopac, Polaris. China Trust, and Cathay Securities.

FPR Taiwan First Representative, Ms Meeiyueh Ko, said: "It’s our great honor to be granted this award, and it is not just a award for FPR Taiwan but also means the financial industry has been noticed and respected besides the traditional PR industry. The media has given news coverage of FPR Taiwan winning the award."

FPR Group managing director Kathy Zhang said: "As far as I know, there was almost no such professional investor relations firm in Taiwan before FPR set up office in Taiwan. The IR Industry in Taiwan is still new compared with Singapore and HK. When most companies need PR/IR service during their IPOs, the underwriters are commissioned to take care of all the matters for free and with a lack of professionalism.

"When the FPR Group came into Taiwan, we made an impact. Investment bankers were surprised and now they are all aware of us and are happy to collaborate with us. With the back up of our Singapore and HK offices, and Blue Focus in China , we can and will do more and more better in Taiwan in 2012."

由公關業經營人協會(Public Relations Association,簡稱PRA)主辦的「第一屆華文公關獎」1月5日下午假台北香格里拉遠東大飯店舉行頒獎典禮。隸屬於新加坡金融公關集團FPR Group的「台灣財經公關顧問有限公司」,以其進入台灣資本市場的第一個財經公關代表案例--揚子江船業TDR上市PR/IR 執行專案參賽,隨即入圍第一屆華文公關獎,並獲得財經公關獎項,受到各界矚目。

台灣財經公關顧問有限公司在台灣成立的時間僅短短一年半,憑藉著豐富的國際市場經驗與兩岸四地的財經公關平台資源,完善的整合能力與專業性的全面規劃及細致的執行品質,成功的在最短的時間內為揚子江船業在台灣資本市場打造出能見度與公司形象,搭建起揚子江公司與媒體及法人間的溝通對話橋梁,財經公關的宣傳效果卓越,因而獲得評審委員的青睞。


台灣財經公關顧問有限公司(FPR Taiwan),為新加坡財經公關第一品牌FPR Group台灣子公司,配合台灣證券交易所及櫃檯買賣中心海外招商,協助國外企業到台灣資本市場掛牌上市櫃,於2010年下半年開始進入台灣與本地投資銀行展開密切的合作,提供專業財經公關服務,並成功協助多家外國企業來台掛牌上市櫃。

截至目前為止,台灣財經公關顧問公司已成功協助近10家國外企業成功到台灣資本市場掛牌上市,與永豐金證券、寶來證券、富邦證券、中國信託銀行證券等證券承銷商都有IPO項目合作案例,且大部分企業在掛牌上市櫃後仍持續委託台灣財經公關提供上市櫃後的財經公關服務,與元大證券、日盛證券、群益證券、KGI中信證券、台新證券等也有上市後的財經公關合作經驗。

台灣併購與股權私募協會理事長(前寶來證券大中華資本市場處總經理)黃齊元先生說,“FPR與台灣財經公關是我在寶來證券時相當重要的合作夥伴,雙方在協助企業來台上市櫃過程中合作無間,透過專業財經公關的居間操作,不僅客戶在上市櫃過程得到專業及妥善的照顧,我們也可以將節省下來的時間與人力更聚焦去做我們的本業,為公司創造更大的效益。”


來自本地的專業財經媒體記者代表也表示,外國企業來台上市櫃大部分在台灣都沒有聯絡人,有事需要聯絡很不方便。有台灣財經公關服務的國外上市櫃企業真的對記者來說方便很多,不僅建立與公司的聯繫管道,而且熟知媒體的需求,重要時刻還會主動提供訊息,讓記者不會漏新聞,不僅提高外國企業在台灣的透明度,也大大提高投資人對公司的認知度。


台灣財經公關顧問公司首席代表柯美月女士說,“在國際資本市場上專業分工非常明確,財經公關顧問與投資銀行、會計師、律師同樣在資本市場中扮演同樣重要且不可或缺的角色,不僅是企業在上市過程中與媒體、法人對話溝通的重要平台,而且在企業上市掛牌後更是上市櫃公司與市場投資者及股東溝通對話的重要窗口。”


金融公關集團執行總裁章誠爽女士也表示,FPR Group為亞洲最優秀的財經公關公司之一,是一家提供策略投資者關係服務的專業財經公關公司,在新加坡連續五年榮獲「新加坡金字招牌」獎,並入選榮譽榜,在香港、臺灣及中國大陸都設有分公司和辦事處。“我們在亞洲擁有最廣泛的關係網,包括超過2000個機構投資者和80家媒體。透過我們獨有的‘戰略投資者關係’服務幫助客戶在投資界提升他們的市場價值和品牌認可度,並借助我們的關係網絡達到溝通機會的最大化,是我們專業財經公關的價值所在。”
