Who we are
Smart Marketing & Events is a Chennai sign board, large format printing and branding company based in Velachery. Our founder, Praveen Devaraj, began in 2010 as a freelance merchandising agent with V5 Global Services (PPMS) and also worked with Communic Marketing Solution, handling events, including the Microsoft Windows launch and the iPhone 5S launch.
We started Smart with zero investment, offering manpower services first, and used those earnings to build our own printing unit. Then came Ashok Leyland, the 100 ft signage at Phoenix Market City that others refused, and the Cauvery Hospital branch opening. Today the toughest jobs in Chennai come to us.
- More than a decade of events and branding experience
- Design, printing, fabrication and installation under one roof
- A small office with big milestones

Which board is right for you?
ACP board, glow sign board or LED sign board
ACP gives a clean, flat finish for your shop name. Add glow or LED boards when you want the front to stand out in the street.
LED sign board or front light and back light
Lit boards keep your brand visible after dark. Back light suits letters and logos. Front light suits large printed faces.
One way vision, vinyl sticker or poster film
Cover glass walls and windows with your brand. One way vision lets people inside see out, and vinyl is ideal for logos and offers.
Fabric, flex and framing work
Fabric prints give backdrops and stands a smooth finish. Flex suits large, budget-friendly hoardings. Framing and fabrication keep them standing strong.
