Gozoop in talks to acquire offline activation agency 56 Blue Lights

Leading digital creative firm — Gozoop is in talks with UAE based company 56 Blue Lights, an offline activation agency and syndicated content provider, about a likely acquisition. The move has been engineered to realise the synergies of online and offline marketing and provide an enhanced 360° marketing experience to its clients.

Known for its aggressive expansion and global footprint that spans 3 continents, this could mark Gozoop’s 3rd acquisition since the company’s inception in 2010.  Gozoop acquired Indian digital media firm Red Digital in 2013 and iThink Infotech a technology agency in 2014.

This move will allow us to enhance our acumen and expertise with stronger offline activation's and events, so that we continue to provide our clients with the exceptional ideas and services that have become our hallmark,” says Dushyant Bhatia,Co-Founder and Director, Gozoop.
