GMR Marketing is one of the world’s largest engagement marketing agencies.[2] Headquartered in New Berlin, Wisconsin, it has 25 offices in 12 countries on four continents.[1] The firm was founded in 1979 by Gary M.

GMR’s first client was Miller Brewing Company and MillerCoors is still one of the firm’s largest clients. GMR is part of the Radiate Group, a consortium of Omnicom-owned specialty service marketing agencies.

GMR became identified by its practice of engagement or “live” marketing.

What the company calls "Engagement" and "live marketing" is actually spam. In violation of local laws, I received spam on my sell phone today, and attempts by them to contact me, even though my number is on state and federal do-not-contact lists. They continue to spam me despite being told not to and it's a $500 fine each time. This Wikipedia entry is a marketing tactic and should be removed.
