Minneapolis Cannabis Marketing Collective

higher State Marketing

We help cannabis brands grow organically online with intentional photography and strategic SEO because we believe in the benefits of medicinal- and adult-use cannabis.

A little about Higher State

  • Women-Owned

    It’s no secret. Cannabis a male-dominated industry. Founded by two cannabis-loving women, we’re focused on helping other woman-owned cannabis brands show up organically online.

  • Inspired By Plants

    It took our founders over a year as colleagues to step out of the canna-closet and share their love of cannabis with one another. Their passions led them to launch Higher State Marketing a year later.

  • FOCUSED ON ROI

    Time is money and business doesn’t stop when you’re investing in your business. We pride ourselves on completing projects in a few weeks, instead of a few months, so you can reap the financial benefits right away.

What We Value

  • At Higher State Marketing, we believe in living life first, prioritizing our well-being and health outside of work because we understand that we are more than just the images we create. By taking care of ourselves, we can show up as our best selves for our clients.

  • We are results-driven, focusing on driving sales and making a positive impact on your business, rather than just creating a pretty website. Our shorter intensives help you save time and money, providing the perfect solution when the munchies hit.

  • Community is at the heart of what we do. We believe in working together to lift others in the Minnesota cannabis industry. We cherish the power of partnerships and the deeper connections that come when we open up about our shared love for plant medicine.

FOUNDED FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN

The CollectivE

We love collaborating, and projects often call for a larger team. We’re building a small army of local cannabis creative partners, designers, copywriters, videographers, and stylists that help us bring your vision to a higher state.

Are you a creative or marketing pro that loves all things cannabis? Let’s chat!

We embrace the heritage of the cannabis community and honor those who have been part of the industry in its darkest times of prohibition. A new era of cannabis ushers in a greater focus on dispelling stigmas and stereotypes, building relationships and fostering trust and loyalty among consumers, and contributing to greater growth through responsible and transparent marketing.

Join us on this journey as we build a community and help to shape the future of the Minnesota cannabis industry.

Let's connect, collaborate, and thrive in a Higher State together.
