Miami, FL – July 23, 2026 – Great business doesn't happen because people meet.

It happens because the right people connect.

That belief has guided eGroup Communications for the past 20+ years.

Today, we are proud to announce the next chapter in our journey.

Susann Behrendt and Michael Freedman have become Equity Partners and Managing Partners of eGroup Communications, joining Founder Robert M. Burke, III as owners of the company.

Bob will continue as Chairman, leading our strategic direction and strengthening the relationships that have made eGroup what it is today.

As Managing Partners, Susann and Michael are committed to building on Bob's legacy while leading eGroup Communications into its next chapter with fresh energy, global experience, and the same relationship-first approach our clients have always trusted.

We believe that creating opportunity begins by bringing the right people together. That has always been our purpose, and it always will be.
