The Approach

Connected TV, anchored by display

CTV is the driver: full-screen, unskippable spots on premium streaming that land with your affluent households. Display is the efficient follow-up that retargets your site visitors and reaches cannabis audiences across the web.

Premium, Compliant Inventory

CTV as the anchor, display as the follow-up

We run your campaign on cannabis-accepted private-marketplace inventory that meets Maryland's audience standards, targeted to your ZIP codes and delivery counties, with conversion tracking live from day one.
