Kush Media Group

What Kush Media Group does

Kush Media Group is a Waterville, Maine-based digital marketing agency founded in 2018 that exclusively serves the cannabis industry. The 7-person firm provides full-service digital marketing to cannabis dispensaries, cultivators, CBD producers, caregiver storefronts, and ancillary cannabis businesses across the United States. The company positions itself as a specialist agency with regulatory and platform knowledge specific to cannabis marketing, where traditional advertising channels are restricted, and claims over a decade of combined team experience in marketing and the cannabis industry.

The service portfolio is organized around four core offerings: cannabis web design, SEO strategy, cannabis digital marketing, and cannabis branding. Supporting services include social media management, email marketing, website management, logo design, ecommerce, graphic design, SEO blogging, and copywriting. Technical capabilities rely on third-party tools rather than proprietary platforms — Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, and Zoho for social media scheduling, plus integrations with cannabis industry platforms Weedmaps, Leafly, and Biotrack for menu embedding into client websites. The company maintains no proprietary technology, APIs, AI capabilities, or patents.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees on a project or retainer basis; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company operates a sales-led go-to-market motion with direct website contact forms, phone outreach, free consultations, and industry event presence. The customer base is predominantly small and mid-sized cannabis businesses, with NECANN (cannabis conventions) being the largest named account alongside Green Tent Entertainment, Top Notch Cannabis, Emerald Elevation, Cannamax, Cupcakes Cannabis, The Honeycomb Farm, and Recovery CBD. Kush Media Group is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, institutional ownership, or regulatory actions.

• Leafly: Major cannabis information, education, and dispensary-listing platform serving consumers and operators. Ecosystem-adjacent: Kush Media integrates with Leafly menus, and Leafly is a parallel influencer on cannabis marketing decisions.
