NASHVILLE, Tenn. — RJ Young kicked off 2017 at Nissan Stadium with a celebration for their Middle Tennessee employees, recognizing outstanding team member achievements from the prior year that contributed to continued year-over-year growth for the company.  

"We've had a long lasting relationship with the Titans," said Chip Crunk, President and CEO, RJ Young Company. "We like to get all of our employees together at least once a year and talk about how we did the previous year, talk about what our objectives are for the coming year and celebrate where we are as a company.

"Being the dominate player in the office technology industry, we want to be associated with the big leagues," Crunk continued, "and if you're going to be with the big leagues, you've got to be with the Titans. We have been a sponsor with them since 1999."

Over 350 team members from across the mid-state gathered in the West Club level of the stadium to announce the outstanding sales, service and administration accomplishments from last year. A long-standing partner of the Titans since the team relocated to Nashville, RJ Young emphasizes continual development of employees as a key to helping customers win in business each day with technology solutions to increase productivity. 

"The relationship has been wonderful for us. We knew it would be great to have an NFL team in Nashville, we just didn't know how fortunate we'd be to be a part of that," said Hunter McCarty, Chief Operating Office, RJ Young Company. "We've been able to be an instrumental part of the sponsorship here.  We've grown with that sponsorship, we've changed some of the aspects as the needs have changed for us.  We've done a little bit of everything with the sponsorship and we still value that so much because we think it's still the most recognizable sports franchise in the city and we are excited to be a part of it. 

"We feel it helps us reach audiences that are the people we really need to really reach," McCarty continued. "Many are decision makers, CEO level, the people that come to the games are obviously people that see and recognize our signage and the fact that we are part of this community organization - we get a lot of feedback on that also."

"There's no better partner we could have in the office technology space than RJ Young," said Titans Director of Marketing Brad McClanahan.  "We've been with them since Day 1 in Nashville and they've evolved to help us in so many aspects to get us ready for game day.  But you can see at an event like this, their number one asset is their people.  They are truly second to none and we are proud to be associated with them all.
