CASE STUDY:

HOW MANY GOT THAT BRAND TATTOOED?

MARKET CONDITIONS:

As Cannabis legalized in Canada, regulatory complexity gave an early market advantage to large-scale, well funded licensed producers who were well-equipped to navigate the highly convoluted paths to market in the first round.

The result in market was an over-supply of low-quality high-priced cannabis that lacked approachability for many emergent consumers, while coming across as completely inauthentic to the high-value, daily use consumer segment.

Having forecasted such conditions well ahead of time in The Pot Apocalypse, Indelible had been preparing several brand narratives tuned for connecting with the disenfranchised culture carriers left behind by the madness of the green rush.

Atlas Growers represented a perfect opportunity to bring such a narrative to life.

  • State-of-the-art grow facility
  • Agile & innovative corporate team
  • Culturally authentic grow team
  • World class, top quality OG weed

BRAND NARRATIVE

We told a story that mirrored the disenfranchised target’s disdain for the current state of legal weed.

We created emotional symmetry by aligning their desire for better weed with an altruistic storyline about ‘preserving the diversity of cannabis by growing the most iconic genetics’

We strengthened the signal of this narrative by using the street names for our genetics as opposed to branded strains.

And we joined the bleeding edge of cultural dialogue by engaging on terpenes
Justified our legal status by celebrating the quality through science
