Currently, the billion-dollar marijuana industry is not allowed to advertise on any traditional platform such as Google Adwords, Facebook, Taboola, Outbrain etc. because of the potential impact it could have on their current partnerships and user base. As a result, the industry is left with basically one option and that is to go through a marketing agency who manages the campaign for them. The problem is that these traffic packages are expensive and filled with low-quality inventory simply because it provides more revenue for the middleman and the publisher. We are here to solve that problem and provide a self-serve platform that allows the user to track their conversions and statistics in real-time which will allow them to quickly optimize their campaigns for maximum profit.
