The three insurance organizations selected as winners of the 2023 Agency of the Year Award are well-versed in a time-tested recipe for success: They each found a niche, zeroed in on that area, then perfected their strategy to become insurance-industry trailblazers.

For the Harris Insurance Group, that niche involves catering to a tight-knit community where some families have lived for decades and many businesses are passed down from one generation to the next.

The Concklin Insurance Agency developed its specialty by singling out an industry with distinct risks and challenges that necessitate a high degree of insurance savvy.

And the Novamar Insurance Group sailed to success by catering specifically to boat owners both in the United States and Mexico.

The Agency of the Year Award program, sponsored this year by Nationwide, itself is singular in honoring independent insurance businesses each year that have been deemed "Best in Class" because they display an array of attributes that make them champions. Judges are especially keen on agencies that have a unique story to share and deepen the well of insurance-industry expertise by excelling in such areas as managing today's remote/hybrid work environment, strengthening client relationships in an increasingly digital business world, and implementing the right tech tools to meet and exceed agency goals.
