Cannabis to the Rescue: A Fast Growing Industry and an Unexpected Client
Friday / October 08 / 12:00 PM
Description
We’re Humankind Studio and we work in weed! It started as a small project, designing a single piece of packaging. Seven years later, we’re the creative agency of record for the largest privately-held cannabis company in America. In this interactive session, including polls and Q&A, we will light up the screen and spark your curiosity with:
- How we weathered the pandemic (and grew the studio) by embracing an unexpected opportunity
- Increased competition and opportunities in cannabis
- Our own work with four leading retail and wholesale brands, including:
- Brand strategy and design
- Retail design
- Digital advertising
- Social media
- Out of home
Harvest what it means to work in today’s cannabis business and get high on design.
This event was put together in partnership with Humankind Studio.
