"The Cannabis Creative Group has absolutely taken off like wildfire." – Dan Serard, VP of Sales and Marketing for Cannabis Creative Group
(🎙️ listen now)
Let’s take a deep dive into a vertical that certainly is anything but dull. This week's guest, Dan Serard, is a trailblazer in cannabis marketing and has stories to tell.
We discuss everything from carving out a vertical for a highly regulated product to dreaming up a standalone event brand for industry networking and the building blocks that made CGC the success that it is today.
We cover in this episode:
- Starting the cannabis vertical at an agency.
- The quirks of the industry and navigating restrictions.
- How CCG grows through thought leaderships, partnerships, trade shows, and more.
- Building community for long-term success.
Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders:
- GTM skills, even from a different industry, is a great skill set for sales leaders.
- Try to find spaces where you can show up first to gain an unfair advantage.
- Be active at industry associations; it’s a space not all agencies play in.
- Be the connector between clients and prospects at industry events to build community.
