Lewis A. Clark Insurance Agency

What Lewis A. Clark Insurance Agency does

Lewis A. Clark Insurance Agency LLC is a privately held, family-owned independent insurance agency founded in 1966 in Newark, Ohio. The agency operates as an appointed agent with more than 13 national and regional insurance carriers (including Auto Owners, Encova, Progressive, Hagerty, Mennonite Mutual, Ohio Fair Plan, Wayne, Foremost, Grange, Ohio Mutual, and Pekin), enabling cross-carrier price and coverage shopping across personal, commercial, and specialty lines. It services individuals/families (home, auto, umbrella, flood, motorcycle/ATV, boat, RV, mobile home, SR22, specialty dwelling), small-to-medium businesses (BOP, contractors, restaurant, farm, trucking, commercial auto, EPLI, D&O, bonds, commercial umbrella), and a defensible niche in churches and religious organizations built around a 15-year core partnership with Mennonite Mutual.

The operating platform is a conventional independent-agency stack: web-based online quote request forms, a Policy Service Center portal for existing policyholders (billing, ID cards, claim submission), carrier-direct claims routing, and consent-based SMS communications. There are no proprietary AI/ML systems, no API/MCP surface, no mobile app, and no third-party AI integrations disclosed; technology functions as distribution and service infrastructure rather than a differentiated product. Leadership is third-generation family (Cyndi Lane as owner-operator since 1977; founder Lewis Clark's son-in-law Michael Lane joined in 2017), supplemented by licensed agents with multiple industry designations (CIC, CISR, AINS, CLCS, AFIS, CLTC, FLMI, CLU) and a virtual licensed producer.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through carrier commissions on placed and renewed policies (a recurring, annually-renewing book) supplemented by policy service fees. Distribution is predominantly direct-to-consumer via two physical offices (Newark headquarters and a 2021-opened Mount Vernon branch), phone sales with a 60-minute callback commitment, online quote forms, and a formal referral program offering $10 gift cards for qualified referrals. Marketing is anchored on Google reviews (900+ five-star), community involvement, and consecutive Readers' Choice "Best Insurance Agency" awards for Licking County (2021, 2023, 2024, 2025). The agency is sub-scale (1-10 employees per firmographic data), is domiciled in Ohio as an LLC, has no institutional funding or parent organization, and operates exclusively within a Central Ohio service radius.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Westfield Insurance: Ohio-based super-regional P&C carrier distributing through independent agents across personal and commercial lines. Comparable as a fellow Ohio-domiciled multi-line carrier and natural competitor for central-Ohio commercial accounts.
• Erie Insurance: Regional P&C carrier and one of the most well-known independent-agent models in the Eastern U.S. Comparable as a broad multi-line P&C insurer that distributes heavily through independent agencies in Ohio and surrounding states.
• Auto-Owners Insurance: Midwest-focused P&C carrier that sells exclusively through independent agents across personal, commercial, life, and specialty lines. A current Lewis Clark carrier partner, representative of the multi-state independent-agency model.
• Progressive Insurance: National P&C carrier with both direct and independent-agent channels (Progressive Commercial). Lewis Clark represents Progressive for personal auto and commercial trucking, illustrating how a single carrier can be both a partner and a structural competitor via its direct channel.

Direct peers

• Grange Mutual Insurance: Columbus-based regional P&C carrier that distributes through independent agents, including personal, commercial, and specialty lines in Ohio. Direct competitor at the carrier level and a current carrier partner of Lewis Clark, illustrating the same regional independent-agency ecosystem.
• Church Mutual Insurance: National specialty carrier focused exclusively on religious organizations, churches, and related institutions — directly comparable to Lewis Clark's church-insurance niche and a benchmark for that vertical's product depth.
• Mennonite Mutual Insurance: Regional mutual carrier specializing in church and religious-organization insurance with a 15-year partnership with Lewis Clark. Directly comparable on the church-specialty focus and on regional independent-agent distribution.
• Brotherhood Mutual Insurance: Specialty carrier serving churches, schools, camps, and Christian ministries nationwide. Direct competitor in the church-insurance vertical and an alternative carrier-channel partner for ministry clients Lewis Clark might otherwise serve through Mennonite Mutual.
• Encova Insurance: West Virginia-based P&C carrier with strong Ohio distribution through independent agents, offering personal and commercial lines including workers' comp. Direct carrier peer and current Lewis Clark partner with overlapping commercial appetite.
• Central Insurance: Ohio-based regional P&C carrier selling through independent agents across the Midwest. Comparable in footprint (Ohio-headquartered), lines (personal, commercial, specialty), and channel (independent-agent only).
