Growing Impact

Marketing Strategy and Business Development 

for the Legal Cannabis Industry

Why I Work in Cannabis

After spending 15 years leading marketing, business development and strategic account management for purpose-driven brands, I was drawn to cannabis by its potential for positive social, environmental and economic impact, especially its health & wellness benefits.

About Me

I am a business strategist and marketing leader with a lifelong passion for building lasting brands. I founded Growing Impact because I believe in the healing power of cannabis, and that business can be a force for good.

 

I’ve served as VP Marketing for Flow Kana, a leading brand of sungrown flower, VP Sales & Marketing for Care By Design, a pioneer in CBD wellness, and I've led direct-to-consumer and strategic partnerships for Garden Society, a craft cannabis operator serving women in search of new, more holistic ways to rejuvenate from the chaos of their daily lives. 

 

Prior to cannabis, I held marketing & business development leadership roles across consumer packaged goods, renewable energy, and natural products.  I received my BA in Political Science from Yale University and my MBA from Harvard Business School.

How I Can Help

As a strategy, marketing & business development consultant, I work exclusively with cannabis companies. Sample clients include: a vertically-integrated operator, a brand of luxury edibles & pre-rolls, and the largest manufacturer of cannabis products in California.

Success Stories

"Annie is motivated, intelligent, and very knowledgeable on everything related to 'cannabis wellness'. Our products would not have been the same without Annie's significant contributions and I would certainly recommend her without reservations to others working in the cannabis space."

Dr. Matthew Elmes, Director of Scientific Affairs, CannaCraft

"Annie showed an amazing capacity for managing an immense magnitude of work and communicated well with the team, keeping projects on track. This included: overhauling brand messaging, marketing plan and implementation, PR, content development, new partnerships, and both our B2C and B2B strategies."
