April 20, 2019, Kelowna, BC — A local marketing agency has its sights set on a growing need in the cannabis industry. The aptly named Ten/17 (a reference to the date of Canada’s legalization), Twirling Umbrellas cannabis division specializes in websites and digital marketing campaigns for cannabis clients in Canada, and beyond.

“Our focus on digital is a natural fit for the cannabis industry,” says Ryan McGrew, Managing Director of Ten/17.

“In a space that’s highly regulated and changing pretty much daily, digital provides the best opportunity for cannabis companies to react quickly and set themselves apart.”

The Ten/17 team is made up of diverse backgrounds in business, design, science, communications, and of course, digital. As a division of the Twirling Umbrellas agency, they have been working in the cannabis space for several years, and now bring their expertise and experience to this new cannabis-specific branch.

Ten/17 has already established an impressive portfolio of cannabis clients including BlueSky Organics, Cannabis Trader BC and Valens GroWorks –– one of the world’s premier cannabis extractors. “They’ve been with us since the start,” says Kayla Mann, Marketing Manager at Valens.

“Over the years, their growing knowledge of the cannabis space and enthusiasm for our company has been unparalleled. They have taken every media task and challenge, and executed with the highest quality and care.”

Kelowna has quickly become a hub for cannabis with a growing number of Licensed Producers, retailers, processors and service providers in the region. Ten/17 adds another cannabis-related company to the list. “We all know BC is renowned for cannabis, but we would love to see the Okanagan get recognized as a hotspot for quality cannabis and industry talent,” says McGrew.

“There’s an incredible cannabis community here, and we’re excited to be a part of it.”
