// The Group

We come from Knoxville. And from New York and Nashville, L.A. and Atlanta, Minneapolis and Toronto. We come from multi-national ad agencies, from dot-coms and from alt-country bands. We have come together to do great work.

We reject the politics and games of the ad business. We do not long for grandiose job titles or big offices. We live for insights, ideas and excellence. We are chasing greatness. Because in a world of media saturation and accelerated culture, only great work will break through and help our clients succeed.

// The Facts

The Tombras Group has 70 employees and $80 million in billings. We’ve been around since 1946, and now have offices in Knoxville, Nashville and Johnson City TN, as well as Washington DC, Charleston SC, and Fort Collins CO.

We do all the things you’d expect from a full-service ad agency - research, strategy, creative, interactive, production, media planning and buying - and then we go beyond those things. Because we believe that an agency that doesn’t surprise and delight its clients on a regular basis isn’t really delivering full service at all.
