NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 9, 2024 (PRNewswire) — LG Electronics USA and the Tennessee Titans have signed a multi-year extension of their collaboration, which will continue to focus on supporting local businesses, generating economic growth, and developing community programmes and events.
Titans Chief Operating Officer Daniel Werly, together with Titans alumni Jevon Kearse and Keith Bulluck, presented LG Electronics North America CEO Chris Jung with an honorary football jersey and a commemorative football at a special signing ceremony at the Titans’ Nashville training facility.

“LG continues to demonstrate the characteristics we look for in a meaningful and strategic partnership that benefits both our fans and the greater Tennessee community,” Werly stated. “We constantly want to collaborate with companies that share our commitment to service and providing an outstanding customer and fan experience; LG exemplifies these qualities. We are pleased to commit to another three years of collaboration.”
Jung stated that the Titans’ values are consistent with LG’s. “We believe in investing in the communities where we live and work, and this cooperation enables us to directly help Tennesseans and the causes they care about alongside partners that are likewise deeply dedicated to Tennessee. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of giving back together through programmes like Community Care Cycle and Taste of Tennessee, as well as offering disaster relief when sad circumstances arise.”
