January 2020 was the last time Gee7 participated in any photo fair and exhibition. During the lockdown, there was no B2B and physical marketing activity, which brought the marketing and business development activities at Gee7 Printek to a halt. Without marketing activities and with the ban on gatherings at weddings, photobooks volumes were coming down.
It was then Gee7 directors Kulbhusan Luther and Kuldeep Singh took the decision to move towards digital marketing, and roped in Dezmark Communications as the digital marketing agency.
Dehi-based Dezmark Communication planned all the digital media buying, planning and marketing communication strategies for Gee7 Printek and took them on the path of success through online marketing.
