Founder + CEO at Grasslands | Strategic PR + Marketing for CPG Brands in Food, Beverage, Supplements, Cannabis, Hemp, Psychedelics + Beyond

🏆 BREAKING: For the second straight year, Grasslands: A Journalism-Minded Agency® has been named Best Cannabis #PRAgency at the Emjays during #MJBizCon. This just hits different. Why? Because this award comes from our peers, our clients, an expert jury panel, and our partners at industry juggernaut MJBiz, the world's largest cannabis business conference and trade media outlet. But here's what really matters: This prestigious award belongs to my team. The best damn PR professionals in CPG (including cannabis), period. They tackle the industry's toughest challenges daily, delivering results that matter. Thursday night's Emjays ceremony was surreal: • The glitzy ceremony at the Palms Casino Resort • The camaraderie in the theater as we were waiting for the show to start • A bunch of our clients and partners also took home Emjays, something we celebrated with them at the afterparty • And afterward, my leadership team met the rest of our attending colleagues and passed around that beautiful Emjay trophy at a cool tiki bar across town To everyone who voted: Thank you. To our incredible clients: This is for you. To my team: You make the impossible look easy. Want to see what award-winning #cannabisPR looks like? Let's talk. This is just the beginning. 🌿 I'll be sharing more about Grasslands' integrated marketing campaign for BizCon 2024 here in the weeks to come. #GrasslandsAF #Cannabis #PR #publicrelations #Marketing #MJBizCon2024

I love seeing the success! Myself and others were sad when things ended at the Denver paper, wondering what was going to happen to all that talent and knowledge. It just grew and grew!
