High Rise Cannabis Agency

FAQ

How High Rise works with cannabis brands: services, process, pricing, and what to expect from content, creative, web, and campaigns.

What services does High Rise offer?

High Rise is a cannabis-focused creative, marketing, and digital agency. Our current services cover Brand Development, AI Strategy, Content, Web Interfaces, Awareness, Influencers, and Newsletter advertising. We connect strategy, production, digital systems, and distribution around the needs of your brand.

Why High Rise Agency?

High Rise combines cannabis industry experience since 2012 with creative production, marketing relationships, and practical digital execution. Our site highlights 500+ brands served, 250+ events produced, and 2B+ lifetime content views. These are historical agency figures, not forecasts or guarantees for an individual campaign. Explore our Case Studies, Photos, Videos, Design, and Press & Features pages for examples.

What is the difference between Advisory and Fractional CMO?

Advisory provides strategic guidance across brand, marketing, creative, AI, talent, influencers, and vendors, with weekly strategy calls. Fractional CMO adds execution leadership, team and vendor coordination, and management of social and digital strategy, with bi-weekly calls. Both are listed on our Brand Development page; pricing is available by inquiry.

What does AI Strategy include and what does it cost?

Our AI Strategy page lists AI Training at $1,500 and AI Setup at $3,500. AI Training covers discovery, an audit, a phased roadmap, and team training. AI Setup adds system architecture, connected tools and apps, custom automations, reusable skills and workflows, and a handoff your team can operate. Confirm the final scope, software costs, and support arrangements before starting.

What types of content creation does High Rise offer?

We produce studio and product photography, lifestyle content, facility and grow coverage, short-form video, 3D animation, motion design, and graphic assets. Creative direction and production planning connect the assets to their intended channels. Deliverable counts, formats, revisions, talent, locations, and delivery dates are defined in the selected package or proposal.

How do studio, lifestyle, and facility shoots differ?

Studio shoots focus on controlled product imagery and video for menus, ecommerce, advertising, and sales materials. Lifestyle shoots show the brand in real-world settings with planned talent and locations. Facility and grow shoots document operations, cultivation, teams, and processes on site. Choose the format that fits the story and intended channels; combinations can be scoped together.

Do content packages include social media management?

Content production and ongoing channel management are different scopes. A production package delivers the agreed photo, video, or graphic assets; it does not automatically include daily posting, community management, creator fees, or paid distribution. If your team needs those services, include them in the inquiry so the proposal can specify what is covered.

What are Web Interfaces?

Web Interfaces are branded websites and digital systems that can combine content, lead capture, admin controls, CRM, commerce, analytics, and workflow automation. The build is scoped to the tools and functions your business needs. Browse Web Interfaces for examples and Website Pricing for the current package comparison.

What does a website build cost?

Our Website Pricing comparison lists Starter from $999, Premium from $2,999, and Custom by inquiry. The page also offers guided build sessions. Page count, design requirements, integrations, automations, and support affect the final scope. Hosting, platform subscriptions, and third-party service fees should be confirmed in the proposal rather than assumed to be included.

Can you connect our website, CRM, menus, and business tools?

We can scope integrations between your web interface and the tools your business uses, including lead capture, CRM, content, commerce, analytics, and automation. Feasibility depends on each provider’s supported connections, permissions, and access to data. We review the required workflows before committing to an integration; not every third-party system supports every connection.

Do you provide SEO, analytics, and post-launch support?

SEO foundations, content optimization, analytics, and support can be part of a web or ongoing service engagement. The selected scope determines setup, reporting, updates, and maintenance. Search rankings, traffic, leads, and revenue are not guaranteed. Confirm who owns ongoing updates, subscriptions, and technical support before launch.

What is the difference between influencer campaigns, UGC, and product seeding?

Influencer campaigns focus on agreed creator posts and distribution to their audiences. UGC focuses on creator-made content delivered for use on your own channels, with posting and usage rights defined separately. Product seeding places gifts with curated creators to encourage organic mentions; gifting does not guarantee a post. These approaches can be combined in an approved campaign scope.

How do you select creators and define content rights?

Creator selection considers audience fit, content style, brand alignment, campaign goals, and the agreed budget. The campaign scope defines creator approvals, content requirements, deadlines, reporting, and usage permissions. Reposting, paid amplification, exclusivity, and extended usage should be specified in writing; do not assume every use is included.

What awareness and advertising options are available?

Our Awareness services connect brands with owned media, creator partnerships, newsletters, event visibility, and campaign amplification. Instagram promotion can include posts, collaborations, and giveaways on High Rise channels. Placement, creative, timing, and any platform restrictions are agreed for the campaign. Reach and sales outcomes depend on the campaign and are not guaranteed.

What newsletter advertising options do you offer?

Our Newsletter page currently lists a Standard Banner at $250 or four for $700, a Featured Banner at $400 or four for $1,200, and a Dedicated Blast at $750. The newsletter reaches cannabis industry readers. Confirm available dates, creative requirements, destination links, and the final placement scope before booking. Historical open and click rates are not guarantees for your placement.

Can you help promote an industry event?

Event visibility can be scoped through the High Rise industry event calendar, newsletter placements, creator activity, and awareness campaigns. Share the event date, location, audience, ticket or registration link, and available creative. A promotional placement is not the same as event production; production, staffing, sponsorships, and other event costs need their own agreed scope.

What is High Rise Visuals?

High Rise Visuals is a cannabis-focused stock media and template resource for teams that need ready-made visual assets. It complements custom photography, video, and design rather than replacing a bespoke campaign. Review the current access options and licensing terms before using an asset; custom production and agency management are separate services.

How does pricing work across your services?

We offer defined production and placement packages, custom digital builds, and ongoing engagements. AI Training and AI Setup have published prices; Brand Development currently uses inquiry-based pricing. Website Pricing lists Starter from $999, Premium from $2,999, and Custom by inquiry. Content, influencer, and newsletter costs depend on the selected package and scope. The approved proposal confirms deliverables, exclusions, payment terms, and any separate costs.

What costs and payment terms should we confirm before starting?

Your approved proposal should define the total fee, payment schedule, deliverables, revisions, and any separate costs. Product, shipping, travel, talent, locations, creator fees, media spend, software subscriptions, taxes, and extended usage may require separate budgets depending on the project. There is no single payment schedule implied for every service; confirm the terms for your engagement.

What is the process and how long does a project take?

We start with your goals, current assets, tools, audience, and constraints, then agree a scope and priorities. Depending on the service, work moves through strategy, production or implementation, review, delivery or launch, and any contracted follow-up. Timelines depend on deliverable volume, approvals, product availability, technical access, and third-party schedules. The proposal confirms milestones and your team’s responsibilities.

Can you work alongside our existing team?

Yes. Advisory can help your team make decisions and align priorities, while Fractional CMO adds leadership of execution. Creative production, digital builds, and AI work can also be scoped around your current team and tools. Define who supplies content and access, approves work, manages vendors, and maintains the finished systems so responsibilities are clear.

Are revisions, source files, and usage rights included?

Revision allowances, final file formats, source or raw files, and usage permissions depend on the selected package and agreement. Extra revisions, new concepts, alternate formats, and extended licensing may be separate scope. Confirm these requirements before work starts rather than assuming every file or unlimited revisions are included.

Where can I see your work and learn about the agency?

Visit Case Studies for project context, Photos and Videos for production examples, Design for creative work, and Press & Features for coverage. The homepage’s Our Story section explains the agency’s background. High Rise is based in Los Angeles; discuss travel, remote collaboration, or market-specific requirements when planning a project.

How do I get started with High Rise?

Use the Tap In contact form and share your company, website, goals, services of interest, budget range, and intended start date. We can then discuss the right scope and next steps. If you already have a team, tools, or existing content, include those details so the engagement can build on what is working.
