Cannabis Media Council


Cannabis Clio Award-winning campaign

I’m High Right Now

The Cannabis Media Council was founded to dismantle stigma attached to cannabis caused by the war on drugs and leverage advertising to normalize consumption across generations. Their inaugural campaign needed to educate and drive consideration for cannabis.

Many boomers are still apprehensive about engaging with the newly legalized marketplace. We need them to rethink what a cannabis consumer looks like. So we co-opted common misconceptions about cannabis and turned them on their heads with provocative narratives that helped to debunk outdated falsehoods.

By holding a mirror up to their peers, we’re showing them cannabis isn’t that scary after all.

Print Ads

The aesthetic makes a connection to an era when the audience might have first tried cannabis and pairs it with present-day Baby Boomers living their best life.

Landing Page

Ads aren’t enough to sway opinion, so we made an I’m High Right Now landing page that served as an education tool to mythbust common misconceptions.

Pornhub

On November 8, 2023, we did a takeover of the Pornhub homepage across the US.
