"We feel honored to be Ad Age's Southeast Agency of the Year," said David Bohan, founder and Chairman of BOHAN. "We have an incredible group of people at the agency, and I'm thankful for their commitment and hard work that is being recognized with an award of this magnitude."

David Bohan launched the agency in 1990 with one client and a small office on Nashville's Music Row. Twenty-four years later, the office has become an entire city block and the agency is competing in national pitches for household brand names.

This year, BOHAN beat out national agencies twice its size to win the O'Charley's casual dining chain business. Other national brands on the roster include Dollar General and Jos. A. Bank. And in a city known as the "silicon valley of healthcare," BOHAN was named AOR this year for one of the country's most progressive health systems, Saint Thomas Health.

"We never lose sight of what has taken us this far, and that is the trust, collaboration and true partnership we have with each of our clients." said Kerry Graham, CEO and Vice Chairman of BOHAN.

The agency is in the midst of expanding its headquarters in The Gulch neighborhood of Nashville as it adds staff to handle recent new business wins.

"We have a stellar talent base and building on that is a big focus for us as we take the agency forward," said Shari Day, President and COO of BOHAN. "Winning the small agency of the year award is a game changer."
