Official & exclusive HR software provider
of Cincinnati Bengals expands commitment with new deal
CINCINNATI ,
Aug. 9,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The home of the Cincinnati
Bengals is now Paycor Stadium. The Bengals and Cincinnati-based Paycor HCM, Inc. ("Paycor")
(Nasdaq: PYCR) are expanding their partnership to include stadium
naming rights, further strengthening their shared vision and
commitment to the Cincinnati
community and driving increased national awareness for both
organizations.
Paycor, a leading human capital management (HCM) company, is a
cornerstone partner of the Bengals, and has served as the team's
official and exclusive HR software provider since 2018. Paycor has
been headquartered in Cincinnati
for over 30 years and recently celebrated one year as a public
company following a July 2021 IPO.
The naming rights agreement, in which Paycor was represented by
Excel Sports Management's Brand Marketing division, leverages
America's most popular sport to promote Paycor's HCM services to a
broader audience as the company continues to grow.
"Through a strategic partnership with our hometown team, the
Cincinnati Bengals, we are beyond thrilled to introduce Paycor
Stadium to the world," said Raul Villar
Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Paycor. "As Paycor continues
to grow and reach customers throughout the U.S., our mission of
empowering leaders to build winning teams perfectly aligns with the
defending AFC Champions. As longtime fans, this is a big point of
employee pride and we are honored to support our local team and
build on the legacy of Paul
Brown."
The Bengals are proud of the commitment that this strategic
partnership demonstrates to continue competing for championships in
Cincinnati. While their home
stadium will take on a new name, the legacy of Paul Brown, one of football's most influential
coaches and founder of the Bengals, will live on forever.
"This is a move that I think my father would have agreed to. He
was always for what is best for the football team," said Bengals
President Mike Brown. "This
partnership allows the Bengals to continue to compete at the
highest level in the NFL and exemplifies our long-term commitment
to the community."
"It was important to find a naming rights partner that strongly
aligns with the Bengals brand," said Bengals Executive Vice
President Katie Blackburn. "Paycor
is a local company on the rise that shares our commitment to
building winning teams. We are proud to support Paycor's growth and
strengthen the Cincinnati business
community with this partnership."
Paycor Stadium branding will begin to be integrated throughout
the stadium in the coming months, with the company and the Bengals
hosting a ceremony before the season to unveil new branding and
celebrate the partnership.
