Industry Consulting.
Strategic consulting for the cannabis industry, from insiders who have been shaping the market for years instead of just analysing it.
Understand the industry before you invest in it.
The cannabis industry in Germany and Europe is full of opportunities and full of pitfalls: strict advertising rules, shifting legislation, a community with a fine sense for authenticity, and competitors who learn faster than the market gets regulated.
We advise brands, startups, investors and established companies entering this environment, with the knowledge of years of operational work: our own events, our own creator network, our own campaigns. No slide-deck theory, but assessments from practice.
Market entry & strategy
How do you position a brand in the German 420 market? Which channels work, which are burned? We deliver market understanding, audience mapping and a realistic roadmap, matched to budget and ambition.
Compliance-aware marketing
Advertising bans, platform restrictions, grey areas: we show which marketing routes are open and how other brands use them successfully. The legal review of your individual case belongs in the hands of your legal counsel, we deliver the strategic and operational perspective to go with it.
