KindTyme

What KindTyme does

KindTyme is a Portland, Oregon-based creative agency that provides branding, packaging design, website design and development, social media marketing, SEO, photography, 2D/3D animation, and 3D visualization services exclusively to cannabis, hemp, and CBD businesses. Founded in 2013 and operating as a subsidiary of Fawkes FX, the agency positions itself around cannabis-specific compliance knowledge — including OLCC labeling rules, platform advertising restrictions (Facebook/Google), and cannabis payment-processing constraints — that generalist creative shops are not equipped to handle. Its published client portfolio spans cultivators, processors, dispensaries, CBD brands, ancillary insurance, and testing labs across Oregon, Washington, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington D.C.

The agency's technology stack is conventional and services-oriented rather than platform-based: websites are built on WordPress and Magento with mobile-first responsive design; visual content is produced in-house using professional DSLR equipment and animation/3D tooling. There is no disclosed proprietary software product, no API, no SDK, and no AI/ML capability referenced anywhere in the source material. All creative work is delivered by an in-house team (the listed team members include an Operations Director, Marketing Lead, Graphic Designer/Illustrator, and Developer) rather than outsourced to freelancers, which the agency frames as a quality and brand-continuity advantage.

KindTyme monetizes through a mix of project-based fees (branding, packaging, website builds, photography sessions, animation projects) and recurring monthly retainers (SEO with monthly analytical reporting, social media campaign management). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are generated per project through Typeform inquiry forms on the website. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with content marketing, SEO, Instagram, an email newsletter, and earned media in Oregon Business, AIGA Portland, Marijuana Venture, and Civilized serving as the primary top-of-funnel channels. The customer base is concentrated in small-to-mid-market cannabis operators rather than multi-state MSOs.

Others

• Flowhub: Flowhub is a cannabis point-of-sale and inventory management platform serving dispensaries. It is an ecosystem participant in cannabis-vertical technology, comparable as a software partner addressing operational needs of the same clients KindTyme brands and markets.
• MJBizDaily: MJBizDaily is the leading B2B media and events business for the cannabis industry, covering business, finance, and marketing. It is thematically adjacent as a cannabis-industry information and marketing-content provider that supports the same operators KindTyme serves.
• LeafLink: LeafLink is a B2B wholesale marketplace and CRM platform connecting cannabis brands and retailers. While not a marketing agency, it operates in the cannabis-vertical software ecosystem and competes for similar operator marketing and technology budgets.

Broad incumbents

• SpringBig: SpringBig is a leading cannabis marketing and customer loyalty platform used by dispensaries and brands for SMS, email, and CRM campaigns. It overlaps with KindTyme in serving cannabis marketing budgets but competes via SaaS technology rather than bespoke creative services.
• Baker: Baker (formerly Baker Technologies) is a cannabis e-commerce and marketing platform powering online ordering, payments, and customer engagement for dispensaries. It is comparable as a cannabis-vertical marketing technology provider, though it operates in software rather than agency services.

Direct peers

• NisonCo: NisonCo is a cannabis-focused PR and marketing agency offering brand strategy, content, and earned-media services to cannabis and hemp operators. Like KindTyme, it specializes exclusively in the cannabis vertical and serves the same client types with marketing expertise generalist agencies lack.
