Forge, TN – December 2014 / Newsmaker Alert / A television commercial
that showcases the appeal of Pigeon
Forge as a family destination has been nominated for an Emmy Award.
The commercial is titled
“Where Should We Go?,” and
it shows two siblings’ efforts to influence their parents’ family vacation
decision. BOHAN Advertising in
Nashville, which has marketed Pigeon Forge for 25 years, produced the commercial.
“Emmy Awards are television’s
highest honor,” said Leon Downey, executive director of the Pigeon
Forge Department of Tourism, “so learning of the nomination was great
news.”
BOHAN-produced commercials
have won Emmy Awards for Pigeon Forge four times, including this year.

Two other BOHAN projects
have Emmy Award nominations in another category. Those are for multi-commercial
campaigns for BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and Saint Thomas Health
in Nashville.
“We are on our way to another
record tourism revenue year, and the push we get from television advertising
is a big factor. It’s great to have solid creative ideas that really promote
our brand,” Downey said.
BOHAN has won at least one
Emmy Award in nine of the last 10 years.
