The cannabis industry is growing every day, and as a result, the marketing and advertising surrounding it is becoming more and more competitive.

This is why, since 2019, the Clio trophies (one of the most famous international advertising awards) have a category specifically dedicated to the marijuana industry.

On its official website, Clio Cannabis Awards states that its goal is to set the standard for creative work in a rapidly growing industry, to better understand a developing category, and to elevate the creative contributions of top talent and agencies.

Without further ado, we invite you to take a look at the ad campaigns that are at the forefront of cannabis marketing.
