Cannabis marketing consultant for multi-location dispensaries and regulated brands.
I run marketing for a multi-location cannabis retailer right now - so the strategy you're buying is the one I operate every week. Compliant growth in a category where Meta and Google are off the table, built by an operator, not an agency that read about it.
- Multi-location dispensary operators opening or scaling in new markets
- Cannabis brands that need demand without paid social or search
- MSOs and retailers fighting for share of voice in a crowded market
- Founders launching into a hard, regulated category on a lean team
Compliant demand, built the way it actually runs.
Compliance-aware strategy
A marketing plan that passes legal review by design - state rules and platform policy handled up front, not after a takedown.
Local marketing across every door
Search, maps, menus, and reviews turned into a compliant demand engine for each location.
Email & SMS revenue
Lifecycle flows and segments that carry real revenue - the channel that still works when ads don't.
AI visibility (GEO)
Get found and recommended when customers ask AI where to buy - the new front door for discovery.
The six-week launch playbook
A repeatable store-opening system: branding, marketing, and store design end to end.
Growth in a category where advertising is mostly illegal.
Questions, answered
Can you run ads for a dispensary?
Not the usual way - Meta and Google ban most cannabis advertising, and state rules add another layer on top. What I build is compliant demand: local search and maps, email and SMS, loyalty, PR and culture, and AI visibility. It's how I've grown cannabis brands without the default ad channels.
Do you work with multi-location operators?
Yes - that's home turf. I currently run marketing for a multi-location cannabis retailer and opened seven dispensaries on a six-week launch playbook. Multi-door, multi-market, on a lean team is exactly the problem I'm built for.
What does a cannabis marketing consultant cost?
It depends on scope. You can start with a fixed-scope audit (local marketing, or email and SMS), then continue with project, hourly, or retainer work. Pricing is scoped on a free intro call - no surprise invoices.
Which states and markets do you cover?
I've worked across a 16-state US cannabis footprint and 23 markets total. Compliance is state by state, so part of the work is always mapping the rules for your specific markets before anything ships.
Why an operator instead of an agency?
Most cannabis marketing advice comes from people who have never run a dispensary P&L under compliance. I'm inside one every week. You get the playbook I actually operate, not a deck built from someone else's case studies.
