MEDICAL CANNABIS

Establishing cannabis industry leaders
While revenues for the legal cannabis industry in the U.S. have more than doubled in the last three years, established state markets have slowed amid economic headwinds of inflation, oversupply and regulation. In addition, cannabis legislation in the U.S. remains a patchwork of recreational and medical cannabis regulations controlled almost entirely at the state level. With no major federal legislation on the customer polling shows that cannabis consumers increasingly value quality, reliability and potency—and are willing to pay more money to access the products that fit their needs. In such a competitive and unpredictable landscape, the hallmark of success remains achieving consistency and quality while increasing focus on technological innovation on the supply side to ensure success in retail and medical environments.
While recreational cannabis suppliers can lean into new strains and embrace more direct marketing tactics, medical cannabis providers are much more limited in their capabilities to educate and acquire patients and their prescribing physicians. Those limitations highlight the importance of brand trust, customer loyalty, and of optimizing communications based on industry best practices and complex state regulations. In a fluctuating and competitive market, an established communications partner who can expertly navigate trends at the state and federal levels, create market-moving awareness and education campaigns, and tap into a broad range of communications tactics can often mean the difference between leading a market or trailing it.
