CARRIE
KUEHN

CREATIVE DESIGN DIRECTOR


I have over 30 years experience creating innovative design solutions from concept to completion and my focus is on creating visual brands that help grow cannabis businesses. By bridge the gap between a small business owners and today's digital age in marketing and sharing my insight on the basic building blocks needed to properly market a marijuana related business.

With the amount of time, commitment, dedication, blood, sweat and tears that go into building and running your business, you owe it to yourself to consider investing in the future and hiring a real designer. Be sure your company's visual brand, logo, imagery, content, video, print materials and website are designed and developed to attract your intended targeted market. The cannabis users market has dramatically changed and expanded with new laws. And today's potential customers range from seniors to families, patients to doctors and so on. Be ready and be sure you are reaching your intended target with the correct materials and visual brand.

For years I have noticed a continuing trend of small business using a Willy-Nilly (DIY) marketing approach. Typically this type of marketing is damaging to the very brand they are working to build. For whatever reason, some might have chosen to not invest in their marketing materials and now have fallen behind the times.

I invite those dedicated entrepreneurs with the desire and inspiration to grow their businesses visual brand in today’s congested, competitive, multi-media market to contact me. My goal is to give you an edge, help smoke out the competition and get your brand noticed.

Marketing cannabis is sort of a new thing, but marketing is not

There are many out in the world who are believed to be experts in marketing cannabis, but the truth of the matter is, they are good at marketing, but not
necessarily experts at market and cannabis. Reason being is marketing cannabis is fairly new.

OK, Great
you're still here!
Now, are you ready to get to work?


Since you are looking to build-up your brand, you are already ahead of the curve. I am constantly amazed at how many others get lost along the way. For some reason they ignore the steps, continue to travel in the opposite direction required, looking for a short cut. Sure it seems the thing to do if you are not certain what to do but in the end it's not the way to grow a successful visual brand.

In fact, avoiding the proper steps hurt a business.
It can seem like a quick fix to use the DIY method (winging it), but actually this will give your competitors a head start.

Marketing is a marathon, not a race, however, the first off the start line is more likely to be in front of the pack instead of behind. 

Brand marketing and design needs to stayed consistent in order to develop a loyal customer base. And in this industry, that is key to expanding and growing your business. 

The sooner you promote a unified brand and consistently marketed it, the better.
