Co-host Greg Wise welcomes Kamron Kunce, CMO at RJ Young, to talk brand sponsorships, out-of-home marketing, and building trust. Kamron lays out a clear approach: shape how the brand builds trust, deliver measurable growth, and create momentum for the future. Born and raised in Nashville, he moved from agency work and the early days of social media to an omnichannel mindset: it takes 12 or more touch points, with personalized messages and strategic placement.

He outlines RJ Young’s four pillars—office equipment and technology, managed services, managed IT solutions, and digital communication—and how a 70-year company uses out-of-home to show they’re more than print. From Interstate 40 to Blue Oval City, Titans fan activations, and Belmont University’s mall installation, Kamron connects signage, digital, venue activations, and sales pipeline tracking. He emphasizes being open but skeptical, setting expectations, capturing leads, and treating sponsorships as a long-term play. For new markets like Savannah, the plan is physical and digital billboards, personalized airport ads, and OTT/CTV around golf—intentional, localized, and built to reinforce reliability.
