Challenge

Grow the MedMen brand within a category that has been stigmatized for most of our lifetimes.

Insight

1 in 5 Americans report having used marijuana at least once in the last year, according to the CDC. Although the marijuana industry was booming, existing brands focused on fluff benefits and turned a blind eye to the industry’s biggest barrier to long-term growth – stigma.
