SHANGHAI, Aug. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In July 2024, Shanghai-headquartered creative agency The Orangeblowfish Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder Siu Tang is being recognised for excellence in the creative field, as a newly appointed Peak Performer Influencer, of high-end outdoor brand, Peak Performance.

Siu joins a brand expedition group of 20 Peak Performers from across the country, many of whom have a popular presence on China’s ever-popular social media platform, Little Red Book. They make up an energised community of artists, sporting champions, and travel bloggers.

The Scandinavian-born brand, owned by Chinese-acquired Amer Sports, focuses on the high-end professional outdoor market. After opening a flagship store in Beijing in 2022, other outlets in China have followed, notably at Shanghai’s Reel Mall, Beijing’s Joy City Mall, and the Zhongxing Commercial Center Building in Shenyang.

To start on a pathway of participating in brand events and to announce his appointment, Siu was invited to create a piece of artwork live on stage for the company’s employee conference in July. His creative endeavour will be showcased as part of the hoarding of the new Peak Performance store in Shanghai’s Jing’an Kerry Centre.

Peak Performance China Team shares why Siu was chosen as a Peak Performer for the brand Peak Performance.

“The Peak Performer project was created in 2024 to link with potential brand representatives. Charismatic and full of ideas, Siu is a standout choice. As a leading creative voice in China, he has a passionate, can-do approach. Peak Performance apparel is for those who want to get out there and do something. Siu’s playful sense of joy and connection that he brings to brand storytelling aligns with our message of ‘Fun & Joy & Togetherness’ and sharing the experience of living life to the full.”

Likewise, Siu feels a natural affinity to not only the brand, but how this links in with creating meaningful experiences between retail brands and consumers at The Orangeblowfish.

“At The Orangeblowfish we map out creative journeys for brands that connect with consumers, activating an experience for them. It must be a genuine connection, so when asked to be a Peak Performer, I followed my instinct. The dynamic identity, message, and performance of the outdoor wear brand resonates with my creative approach. I hope my influence can inspire those new to the brand to explore what it has to offer.”

Check out Siu’s Peak Performer designs at the Peak Performance store at Jing’an Kerry Centre from September this year.

About Peak Performance

Back in 1986, two passionate skiers set up Peak Performance in Scandinavia, finding the answer to garments that combined excellent functionality with simple, attractive design. They were inspired by their hometown Åre, known for its Scandinavian nature, easy access to vast off-piste terrain, and notoriously extreme weather; designing and producing professional equipment which can provide wind and snow protection in extreme environments. Meanwhile, in constructing the concept of a “manufacturer designer’s favorite practical products”, they have taken ‘Fun & Joy & Togetherhood’ as the brand spirit, aiming to create an on-trend yet professional brand that breaks through the visual framework of outdoor equipment.

DogeRide, Denver’s newest and most innovative ridesharing service, is proud to announce the official launch of its pet-friendly hailing app in Denver, CO Metro Area.

DENVER, Dec. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — DogeRide, Denver’s newest and most innovative ridesharing service, is proud to announce the official launch of its pet-friendly hailing app.

“We wanted to create a ridesharing service that embraces that spirit, providing a solution for dog lovers who want their furry companions to be part of their daily lives. DogeRide is more than a rideshare; it’s a celebration of Denver’s dog-friendly culture.”

Designed to bring convenience and joy to pet lovers, DogeRide allows drivers to ride with their dogs as companions while welcoming riders to travel with their furry friends. With Denver being one of the most dog-friendly cities in the country, this service is set to revolutionize how residents and their dogs move around town.

DogeRide aims to address a growing demand for pet-friendly transportation. Riders no longer have to worry about leaving their four-legged friends behind or struggling to find a rideshare that accommodates their pets. The DogeRide app allows seamless booking and ensures all participating drivers are comfortable with canine passengers.

To ensure a safe and pleasant ride, dogs must weigh under 80 pounds and be on a leash or in a crate during the journey.

“Denver is a city that thrives on community and outdoor adventures, and dogs are a huge part of that lifestyle,” said Phil Warfield and Divine Tumenta, both Co-founders of DogeRide. “We wanted to create a ridesharing service that embraces that spirit, providing a solution for dog lovers who want their furry companions to be part of their daily lives. DogeRide is more than a rideshare; it’s a celebration of Denver’s dog-friendly culture.”

The app’s user-friendly interface allows riders to indicate when they’re bringing a dog along, ensuring that drivers are prepared for their canine co-pilots. Additionally, all DogeRide drivers are trained to prioritize safety and comfort for both human and canine passengers. From trips to the vet or park to daily commutes, DogeRide is committed to making every journey tail-waggingly fun and hassle-free.

DogeRide also offers unique features tailored to the needs of dog owners and pet-loving drivers. Drivers are encouraged to bring their dogs along for companionship while working, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for riders. This innovative approach not only enhances the drivers’ experience but also provides riders and their dogs with a sense of familiarity and connection.

“DogeRide is the ultimate ridesharing service for dog lovers because we’ve designed it with the needs of Denver’s vibrant pet-owning community in mind,” said Chad Harris, Co-founder of DogeRide. “Whether you’re heading to the dog park, running errands, or going on an adventure, DogeRide ensures your furry friend can come along for the ride. We’re thrilled to be part of Denver’s pet-friendly ecosystem.”

DogeRide’s mission is to create a safe, reliable, and dog-inclusive transportation option that reflects the unique lifestyle of Denver residents. As part of its commitment to the community, DogeRide plans to partner with local animal shelters and pet organizations to support adoption events and promote responsible pet ownership.
