The cannabis industry in North America has continued to evolve rapidly over the past year. In Canada, brands and retailers have adapted to a challenging marketplace through creative strategies, new partnerships, and bold innovation. In the United States, momentum toward federal reform grows, even as advocates push against ongoing barriers. Despite these complexities, progress continues—and it’s more important than ever to celebrate the companies and individuals leading the way forward.
As both society and the cannabis sector transform, so too does the way we connect with consumers through marketing and advertising. Now in its eighth year, the ADCANN Awards return to recognize and honor the most impactful talent in cannabis marketing and advertising across Canada and the U.S.
What are the ADCANN Awards?
The ADCANN Awards is one of the only cannabis awards circuits that chooses people’s choice over judge’s decision and doesn’t require payment to submit a nomination. Join us in recognizing the agencies, brands, and people changing the way we think about cannabis.
