CBD marketing without the account bans.
Meta restricts CBD ads and most agencies will not touch the category. We build compliant campaigns, search visibility, and owned-audience funnels for CBD and hemp brands — the growth channels that work inside the rules, not around them.
Revenue-tied reporting
Built for cbd & hemp
The three ways CBD brands get burned
Rejected ads and banned accounts
Ingestible claims, the wrong product image, or a non-compliant landing page can get an ad rejected — and repeated rejections get the whole account flagged. A ban costs you your pixel data and audiences, not just one campaign.
Medical claims that invite regulators
"Helps with anxiety" feels like honest copy and reads like an unapproved drug claim to the FDA and FTC — both have sent warning letters to CBD brands for exactly that. Compliant copy can still sell; it just has to be written deliberately.
Renting your audience from platforms that can evict you
When policy shifts or an account gets flagged, brands built entirely on one channel lose their revenue overnight. CBD brands need owned channels — search rankings, email, SMS — that no platform review queue can take away.
Why CBD marketing is a different game
CBD sits in advertising’s gray zone: federally legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, but restricted or conditionally allowed on every major ad platform. Meta only permits ads for certain hemp and topical CBD products — and even then with strict rules about claims, landing pages, and targeting. Google runs a limited program with similar constraints. Run ads the way a normal e-commerce brand would and the predictable result is rejected ads, then a flagged account, then a ban that takes your pixel history and custom audiences down with it.
That is exactly why the category is an opportunity. Because most agencies decline CBD accounts and most brands burn their ad accounts learning the rules, the brands that get compliant distribution right face far less sophisticated competition than in any mainstream vertical. The playbook is different — policy-aware creative and landing pages where ads are permitted, aggressive SEO and content where they are not, and an owned email/SMS audience so your revenue never depends on a platform’s mood.
We already work in restricted categories — cannabis dispensaries, smoke shops, adult retail — so compliance is not a disclaimer we discovered last week; it is the operating environment we build for. Every claim, image, landing page, and checkout flow gets reviewed against current platform policy before anything goes live, because in this category the cheapest mistake is the one you never make.
No vanity metrics — every number ties to a business outcome.
What we run for CBD & hemp brands
Compliant paid campaigns where the platforms allow them — and the channels they can’t take away from you everywhere else.
Policy-aware paid campaigns
Where your products qualify — Meta’s hemp/topical allowances, Google’s limited CBD program, plus programmatic and native networks that accept the category — we build campaigns with creative, claims, and landing pages reviewed against current policy before launch.
SEO built for a restricted category
When paid reach is capped, organic search carries the load. Product and education content targeting commercial CBD keywords, technical SEO, and the authority building that compounds while competitors keep burning ad accounts.
Compliant landing pages & storefronts
Fast pages with compliant claims, lab results (COAs) where buyers expect them, and age gates where required — built to convert and to pass platform review, because the landing page is what gets most CBD ads rejected.
Email & SMS you actually own
Welcome flows, replenishment reminders, and win-back campaigns for a product people reorder. For CBD brands, the owned list is the channel no policy change can touch — we treat it as core infrastructure, not an afterthought.
How we launch campaigns for cbd & hemp
Same disciplined process on every vertical — adapted to how your customers actually buy.
Vertical audit & strategy
We review your market, competitors, and existing accounts — then map the funnel and channel mix that actually works for your industry before anything goes live.
Creative & campaign build
Industry-specific ad creative, copy, audiences, and landing pages — built and reviewed before launch, not recycled from another client.
Launch & early optimization
Campaigns go live with daily monitoring in the first two weeks — budget pacing, early signals, and anything that should be scaled or cut.
Ongoing management & reporting
Continuous optimization and monthly reporting tied to revenue — not a quarterly check-in and a dashboard of impressions.
