Cannabis brands can’t buy their way into mainstream attention — not when paid is locked down and social is throttled. Earned media is the only channel where compliance doesn’t cap the upside. We run cannabis public relations the way it actually works in this industry: real reporter relationships, real trade-press fluency, real placements.
Cannabis PR is the cheapest legitimacy a cannabis brand can buy. Trade press, mainstream business outlets, podcasts, conference stages — the visibility that paid can’t touch. Here’s what a real cannabis public relations engagement from a cannabis marketing agency delivers.
MJBizDaily, Marijuana Moment, Green Market Report, Cannabis Business Times, Benzinga Cannabis, Leafly, plus mainstream business press when the story warrants it. We pitch where your audience actually reads.
Bylines, panel placements, podcast bookings, and quote sourcing for reporters working active stories. Your founder becomes a name reporters call for the next piece, not a press release nobody opens.
Cannabis is a regulated industry running at venture-startup pace. Things break. We help you respond on the record, with the right framing, before the story gets away from you.
Full-spectrum cannabis public relations, scaled to your operation. No press-release-spray-and-pray. No padded reporter lists. Real outreach, real placements, real measurement.
Get the full scope →You’ll always know where we are, what’s next, and why. Cannabis PR is a cadence game — we run it like one.
Coverage audit, narrative review, executive interviews, target outlet map, competitive share-of-voice. Two-week deep-read before a single pitch goes out.
Media strategy, story arc, outlet-by-outlet pitch calendar, executive positioning, KPI baseline. Signed off before outreach starts.
Weekly pitching cadence, story development, reporter relationships, monthly strategy calls. Cadence over heroics.
Quarterly business review. What’s landing scales. What isn’t gets cut. Reporter relationships compound — by month nine, reporters are calling you instead of the other way around.
A short list of the cannabis businesses our team has supported — operators, brands, industry associations, and ancillary partners across the U.S.
“Trip placed our founder in MJBizDaily, Marijuana Moment, and three cannabis podcasts in the first quarter. We’d been trying to land MJBiz coverage for two years before that.”
A generalist PR agency taking on cannabis spends six months learning the trade press. A specialist agency is already on a first-name basis with the reporters covering your story.
