Recognizing 15 years of Young & Associates ownership calls for a nod to our mentor. Jean Young started Young & Associates in 1982, when women-owned agencies were uncommon and tech-focused agencies were rare. She hired us fresh out of college and mentored us (and many others) with candor, respect and a big heart, modeling tenacity and a go-getter approach.
The amount of change in the workplace, technology and public relations since 1982 is immeasurable, and since 2010 is significant. What hasn’t changed is Young & Associates’ founding principle: to help growing technology companies tap into the power of PR to increase their marketplace visibility and credibility. Cheers to Young & Associates’ storied history and continued success partnering with an amazing group of clients, partners and friends – we are proud to continue the legacy.
