Eastport Marketing Group was founded by Barry Lundquist in 2000 to fill a growing need: to help insurance companies, distributors and service providers improve results. Many top insurance leaders are frustrated by chronically poor returns, lackluster growth, commoditized products, inefficient processes and systems configurations, challenging economics, complex distribution conflicts and a lack of seasoned, executive talent with the capacity to tackle these strategic challenges.

Internally, these leaders often face stubborn resistance to change which makes identifying the root causes of chronic problems and finding innovative solutions difficult. Eastport Marketing Group, with an objective, outside viewpoint and years of experience helping dozens of companies solve a broad variety of problems, is dedicated to working with clients to improve their performance and results.

Eastport brings together a strategic partner network consisting of individuals and companies with best in class credentials in specialties including individual and group disability insurance product and pricing, distribution, risk management, voluntary and worksite benefits, reinsurance strategies, employee selection and development, outsourced service and systems solutions, and lowering sourcing costs.
