Hot Take: New York is the epicenter of Legal Cannabis. Don't believe me? Here's how I know. Most household cannabis brands were born out West. And while legal cannabis has proliferated across the country, for years, all of these brands had the same mantra: we want to focus on winning our state, no other state matters. Enter New York. One year into this nascent adult-use market, and all of those same West Coast cannabis brands are now establishing a beachhead on the East Coast. It makes sense - can you really consider yourself a brand if you aren't in New York? Brands like Jetty Extracts, Wana Brands, Wyld, Grön, Kiva Brands, Inc., Heavy Hitters, Old Pal and so many others have made their way east, bringing years of name recognition with them. While consumers here may not know these brands as well as they know Kleenex or Reese's, these cannabis brands have been around for years, which makes a difference. Will that OG cred be enough to win out against home-grown brands? It's going to be interesting to see who the winners are in this market, but rest assured that if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. #newyork #eastcoast #nyscannabis #legalcannabis #adultuse #cannabismarket #hottake

Missouri is enjoying its second year as an adult-use cannabis market and not only does that mean we’re seeing many more consumers coming out of the shadows to shop, but the products and brands available have never been more prevalent. One of the most important questions we ask with new brands is “How do you enter such a crowded market with a new brand or new product and show people how you’re different, better, etc?”  For newcomers, EmmaLeaf Cannabis Lab + Kitchen, that was an easy answer – focus on quality products, and tell the story of our team […] https://lnkd.in/gCn6fBGk

I know a lot of people in the cannabis space are from agriculture and finance and don't know much about marketing and advertising, and I actually like that a lot of the time. But it has been difficult to explain to a lot of our clients what a co-op ad is. And that's too bad, because a co-op ad means free advertising for a lot of you. I usually explain it via the Tourneau ad you might see on the back of the New York Times. Rolex pays for that, not Tourneau. If canna companies had their act together, they'd be buying ads that point to your dispensaries. It's a simple concept and it works for everyone. This is how 99% of car ads work too. Lexus pays, not the dealership. As for those of you who have brands and products, this is a great way to get into new stores. "Hey, we are going to buy an ad with TJM that includes and points to your shop." It's a beautiful symbiotic relationship in which money goes to real media and not Meta and in which you reach actual potential customers instead of teenagers on Instagram in California. Example below of our new Highdration Kitchen ad with Ideal Craft Cannabis ICC ...

🌿🎩 Presidents' Day Pondering: What if Today's Presidents Dug Cannabis Like Founding Fathers Dug Hemp? 🌿🎩 Happy Presidents' Day! Quick thought: Imagine if today's presidents were as into cannabis as our founding fathers were into hemp. Back then, hemp was the crop of the day, used for everything from ropes to declarations. Fast forward, and we're in a world where cannabis is stepping into the light, legally and socially. What would it look like? Presidential speeches on Terpenes vs. THC, and even more green in the White House garden? How do you think our country would react? #PresidentsDay #CannabisCulture #WhiteHouseGreen

 Cannabis Industry Visionary | Cultivating a Renaissance of Quality and Community My journey in the cannabis industry has been one of passion, innovation, and a deep commitment to quality and community. With over 15 years of experience, I've had the privilege of: Cultivating premium cannabis, from seed to harvest, with a focus on organic practices and genetic excellence. Building impactful brands that resonate with consumers and elevate the industry. Creating memorable events that foster community and celebrate cannabis culture. Driving sales and optimizing operations for dispensaries, helping them thrive in a competitive market. But my vision extends beyond these achievements. I believe in a future where: Craft cannabis is celebrated for its unique character and terpene profiles, much like fine wine or artisanal coffee. Consumers are empowered with knowledge and access to the highest quality strains. The community thrives through collaboration, education, and a shared passion for the plant. This is the cannabis renaissance I'm working towards. Let's connect and explore how we can collaborate to build this vision together. #cannabisrenaissance #craftcannabis #community #sustainability #innovation #cannabisindustry #cannabisbussiness
