EGR International

What EGR International does

EGR International is a privately held, strategy-led B2B engagement agency founded in 1958 and headquartered at 44 Wall Street, New York, with seven additional US offices in Baltimore, Iowa City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Seattle, and Wilmington. The firm operates across three service practice areas — Consulting & Strategy (brand strategy, organizational/behavioral change, business intelligence, channel marketing, loyalty strategy, Salesforce effectiveness), Live Experiences (meetings, incentives, virtual events, live broadcasting, brand activations, production), and Digital Experiences (digital platforms, web/mobile development, interactive media, content creation, UX/UI, graphic design, animation, video) — and operates a specialized media sub-brand, BLACKLAB Media. Customer logos span large enterprise accounts including Essilor, Signia, Vision Source, Panasonic, Simonton, and the University of Iowa, indicating a vertical mix concentrated in healthcare/medical (eyecare, hearing aids), technology/electronics, building products, and education.

The firm's underlying technology includes the proprietary EGR Rebate Platform — a connected ecosystem with an Instant Promotion Builder, rules-based multi-point validation, real-time dashboards, and a Dealer Portal — as well as AR-enabled brochures and the Simonton In-Home Presentation tool. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, executed through consulting engagements, project-based work, and retainer relationships, with no public pricing. Revenue is generated across professional-services streams (consulting, live experience production, digital experience development) and a subscription/recurring component from the rebate platform.

Notable operational performance figures disclosed for rebate-platform partnerships include 93% faster time to market, $350K in rebate spend protected, 100% on-time delivery, and 99.5% SLA adherence (Aug 2024-Aug 2025). The firm's marketing motion leans heavily on Forbes Agency Council thought leadership (monthly articles), blog content, newsletter, and industry-event participation (e.g., KBIS). Leadership is led by CEO Jeff Grisamore, with Robert Legge as Director of Consumer and Channel Marketing and Sylvia Clubb as an industry-expert contributor.
