Cannabis to the Rescue: A Fast Growing Industry and an Unexpected Client

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:
  1. Brand strategy and design
  2. Retail design
  3. Digital advertising
  4. Social media
  5. 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.
