Flower Advertising & Doctors on Cannabis
Led by President Alison Reeves Farley, Doctors on Cannabis is an educational platform that enjoys promotional liberties in the notoriously restrictive cannabis communication space. In other words, this platform can offer a level of exposure that other cannabis marketing companies can’t. For example, Doctors on Cannabis can reach people through Facebook and public radio, which is great news for clients.
Additionally, this cannabis company can deduct promotional costs as education, whereas it’s a federal crime for companies in the US to deduct marketing expenses. To put it simply, clients can sponsor Doctors on Cannabis to promote their own company, educate their audience, dispel stigmas, and get medicine to people who need it. Due to all this amazing work, the company was awarded top innovative health care company by the IFAH in 2020.
Alison has an M.S in Communications from the VCU Brandcenter and 20 years of experience in marketing, advertising, and brand strategy. She’s passionate about building brands that challenge the status quo because she believes in creating positive change. That’s why in 2016, she decided to found Flower Advertising, a cannabis-centric marketing company that challenges stereotypes.
This company hosts the Doctors on Cannabis show to educate people by interviewing experts, from MDs to PhDs, and providing valuable information. Since then, the show has amassed over 10,000 downloads and followers from 600 US cities and 35 countries. Additionally, the show provides sponsorship opportunities so Cannabis companies can reach larger audiences and increase brand visibility.
