What mjbizwire does

MJbizwire (legal name MJbizwire.com) is a self-service press release distribution platform that has served the legal marijuana and cannabis industry since 2013. The company enables cannabis businesses to publish and distribute press releases to a network comprising both leading marijuana industry publications and major national news outlets, including Yahoo Finance and Newsfile Corp at its highest tier. Its customer base consists primarily of SMB and individual operators across the cannabis vertical—cultivators, dispensaries, product launches, and ancillary services—who need media exposure in an industry historically underserved by mainstream wire services due to regulatory and reputational stigma.

The platform is built on a commodity WordPress-based e-commerce architecture with no disclosed proprietary technology, APIs, or SDKs. Its product offering is structured around three transactional pricing tiers—Standard ($99/release), Extended ($149/release), and Premium ($479 per 500-word release)—with features scaling from basic publication on MJbizwire.com to social media distribution, search engine inclusion, marijuana-industry email distribution, and premium national distribution with analytics. A Corporate Account volume program and a Marijuana Business Directory complement the core offering.

MJbizwire operates as a business unit within Northsight Capital Inc. (OTCQB: NCAP), a publicly traded holding company based in Scottsdale, Arizona that owns a broader portfolio of cannabis-focused digital properties. Northsight is led by Chairman Itay Koren and President John Venners and has pursued growth via acquisitions, including Crush Mobile Apps and an LOI to acquire Uptick Newswire. MJbizwire does not separately disclose revenue, headcount, or segmentation metrics, and operates with a purely transactional revenue model rather than subscriptions or contracts.

Direct peers

• CannabisNewsWire (CNW): Cannabis-specific press release distribution service offering wire distribution, social amplification, and editorial syndication. Direct competitor to MJbizwire in the same cannabis PR wire category with overlapping pricing tiers and customer base.
• LeafWire: Press release distribution service focused on the cannabis and hemp industries. Competes head-to-head with MJbizwire for cannabis brand PR spend using similar tiered packaging and industry-targeted outlet networks.

Broad incumbents

• PR Newswire (Cision): Largest general-purpose press release distribution platform, owned by Cision. Provides national and financial media reach that overlaps with MJbizwire's Premium tier; competes for any cannabis client willing to use a non-specialized wire.
• High Times: Iconic cannabis consumer media brand with broad cultural reach. While not a wire service, it competes for cannabis PR placements and sponsored content budgets that overlap with MJbizwire's customer spend.
• BusinessWire: BERKELEY Research Group-owned wire service emphasizing financial and regulatory disclosure distribution. Overlaps with MJbizwire's Premium National Distribution into Yahoo Finance and news outlets, especially for cannabis companies executing funding or M&A announcements.
• GlobeNewswire: Large incumbent press release wire service with broad market coverage. Not cannabis-specialized but increasingly serves cannabis clients, offering scale, regulatory distribution, and analytics that compete for the same Premium-tier dollars MJbizwire targets.
• MJBizDaily: Leading B2B cannabis industry publisher and events operator (MJBizCon). Adjacent rather than directly substitutable, but commands cannabis industry mindshare and audience that competes for the same PR-driven attention MJbizwire sells.

Emerging players

• New Cannabis Ventures: Cannabis industry media platform focused on publicly traded and emerging cannabis companies. Provides investor-facing coverage that partially substitutes for press release distribution among public-company cannabis issuers.
• Cannabis Business Times: B2B trade publication covering cannabis cultivation, dispensary, and ancillary businesses. Reaches the same SMB cannabis customer base as MJbizwire and is an alternate channel for industry announcements, partially competing with press release distribution.
• Green Market Report: Cannabis-focused business and financial news outlet serving investors and operators. While primarily a media outlet rather than a wire, it competes for cannabis PR visibility and can substitute for paid press release distribution among brand and IR marketers.
