Why should I hire a cannabis marketing agency?

Trying to market your cannabis brand or business without professional help can be a frustrating and fruitless process. Partnering with an agency like ours can help you better navigate the red tape to reach your target market. 

What makes The Influence Agency one of the top cannabis marketing companies?

We’ve established ourselves as thought leaders in this space. From developing a comprehensive cannabis marketing playbook to winning awards, we’ve earned our place as one of the leading companies in the industry. 

What is the process of working with The Influence Agency?

The first thing we’ll do is identify your company goals and objectives. We’ll learn your selling point and positioning in the market to gain a clearer understanding of your brand and determine how we can take it to the next level.

From there, we’ll develop a digital cannabis marketing plan that will include social media calendars, email marketing proposals, and influencer marketing recommendations. Once we receive your go-ahead, our team will get to work on bringing it to life, from creating branded content to starting on website improvements and redesign.

What are the unique challenges of marketing cannabis products online?

Paid advertisements are heavily regulated when it comes to cannabis. Many of the traditional strategies you’d use to market other products simply aren’t allowed. Much of what you thought you knew—including what’s worked in the past—simply doesn’t apply. 

Can I use influencer marketing to promote my cannabis brand?

The short answer is you absolutely can!

However, as with all other facets of cannabis marketing, it’s a bit trickier than what you may have experienced or heard with other products. The best way to ensure your campaign plays by the rules is to partner with experts like us at The Influence Agency.
