Franco & Mark
The Producers
by Mark Lander
If you've been to G, chances are you've attended their parties. If you've seen G's ads, you've seen their collaborative work. Franco DiLuzio and Mark Lander... the dynamic duo behind the events, marketing and advertising at G Lounge.
Mark began honing his design and advertising craft at G Lounge back in 2000. Drawing upon his technical and visual skills as a trained Engineer and Film Production graduate, Mark retooled his career and began directing the advertising at G Lounge. Later he added events such as G's Pride Luau and the infamous Halloween party to his repertoire.
Franco is a full-time event planner at Props for Today and studied Visual Arts and Interior Design. Not long after Franco and Mark met (and fell in love) in 2005, they realized that their combined skills were something special. So they teamed up to create and promote Gorgeous, the first weekly party at G Lounge. With their second venture, Sunday night's Küte, they added a team of promoters. And this year they launched Boybox with hosts Joey Israel and Cazwell.
Together Franco and Mark style and shoot the photography for G's ads. Mark handles the graphic design and builds the website while Franco manages the PR and marketing. They produce, create, manage and promote the parties, special events, and decor which have become an iconic brand for G Lounge.
