Challenge

Scaling a B2B Cannabis Marketing Strategy

The company had established itself as a trusted brand for THC and CBD infusions. Reaching the volume of business buyers it needed to scale was tricky, though. The industry is still highly regulated and audiences had lots of questions about the costs, processes, and legalities behind its products. Our strategy capitalized on this knowledge gap by offering a content-forward lead gen engine designed to make SōRSE the most trusted source for functional ingredients in the cannabis CPG space.

Solution

Full Stack Marketing Resources for the Cannabis Space

SōRSE’s small in-house marketing team had its hands full. To begin scaling, it needed an outside partner that could help kick marketing communications into high gear without breaking the bank. Catalyst offered a full-stack solution that could take direction from but work independently of its team and other partners. That allowed the startup to strengthen the brand, build a website, and develop a content solution—pulling in necessary stakeholders on an as-needed basis.
