Cannabis marketing is special because of the plant’s current Schedule I status. Since it’s technically federally illegal, many social media platforms, merchant services, and advertising outlets don’t support its marketing. This hinders brands from finding their target customers and growing their recognition.
We approach cannabis marketing from a different direction. Instead of trying to sneak past anti-cannabis rules and guidelines, we focus our cannabis marketing efforts on organic growth, leveraging creative content, memorable branding, and in-person events. Explore our cannabis work.
Cannabis marketing is tricky because the laws around it differ from state to state. Our team stays apprised of legislative changes on the federal and state levels with a special focus on the Northeast so we can ensure our cannabis marketing efforts are both effective and compliant.
Integrated marketing is the process of creating and presenting a cohesive brand experience. This means incorporating your brand’s colors, logos, fonts, slogans, vibe, etc. into everything you do so you’re always at the top of your customers’ minds. Eventually, your customers will become so aware and accustomed to your brand’s image that they’ll be able to recognize it—and desire it—wherever they are.
Experiential marketing creates an emotional connection between a person and a brand. An emotional connection is important because humans are emotional creatures, and core memories are established when a person experiences a heightened emotion. By coordinating brands with experiences that complement their image, we evoke emotions within the one-time shopper that transforms them into lifelong customers and brand advocates.
When it comes to establishing your presence in packed industries like cannabis, lifestyle, and health & wellness, brand development is crucial. Competition is fierce, and if you don’t know what your brand is or what it stands for, you won’t know who it’s meant to serve. Brand development enables you to clearly define your brand, its intentions, and its audience so you know exactly how to market and who to market to.
Original content is important not only for your brand’s reputation but for Google’s support of it. Google’s algorithms notice when duplicate content exists, and it filters out the extras accordingly. By creating original content, you not only have the luxury to define your brand, but you help boost that brand in the eyes of Google, enabling you to reach more people more easily.
