The Problem

Growth Creates
Creative Chaos

You've scaled your operations, but your brand can't keep up. Sound familiar?

Design Bottlenecks

Every new SKU, market launch, or campaign stalls while you wait on freelancers who don't understand cannabis.

Inconsistent Execution

Five brands across three states — and every deliverable looks like it came from a different agency.

Slow Turnarounds

Compliance reviews, revision cycles, and miscommunication turn a 3-day project into a 3-week nightmare.

Management Overhead

You're a CEO spending hours managing freelancers, chasing deadlines, and putting out creative fires.

The Shift

What Changes When You Have
a Dedicated Creative Pod

The brands pulling ahead right now all made the same move. They stopped managing vendors and started operating like a brand with a real creative department.

Before HM420
  • Every new state launch stalls while you source freelancers who don't know cannabis regs
  • Five brands across three states and every deliverable looks like it came from a different agency
  • Packaging gets flagged for compliance issues you didn't even know existed
  • You're a CEO spending half your week managing designers instead of scaling your business
  • Budtenders can't sell your brand because the materials don't exist or don't tell a story
With HM420
  • New state launches ship in 15 days with fully compliant assets, ready for every shelf
  • Every brand in your portfolio looks, feels, and speaks like it belongs to a $300M company
  • Compliance is built into every deliverable before you see it. Zero flags. Zero cease-and-desists.
  • You run the business. Your pod runs the creative. One relationship, one invoice, done.
  • Budtenders pitch your brand like insiders because they have the training decks and story to back it up

This is the exact shift TVG's portfolio made. In 12 months: +800% online engagement, 10%+ market share captured, social followers doubled. The difference wasn't better flower. It was better brand infrastructure.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Do you only work with cannabis brands?

Yes. HM420 is a dedicated cannabis division. Our entire team lives and breathes this industry — compliance, culture, retail dynamics, and multi-state operations. That specialization is why brands like Story Cannabis and TVG trust us with their creative.

How fast can you start?

Your dedicated pod is assembled and briefed within 5 business days of signing. Strategy workshop happens in week one. First deliverables are in your hands within 10-15 days. No 6-week "discovery phase."

What if we need changes or revisions?

Unlimited revisions on every deliverable, at every tier. We iterate until it's exactly right. No nickel-and-diming, no revision caps, no surprises on your invoice.

How do you handle cannabis compliance?

Compliance is built into our process — not bolted on as an afterthought. Every asset is reviewed for state-specific regulations before delivery. Packaging, ads, POP materials — all checked against current regs. You never get a cease-and-desist because of a design error.

Can you handle multiple brands and states?

Absolutely. We unified 5 brands for Story Cannabis (the largest private MSO). We manage brand portfolios across MI, FL, CA, MD, NJ, AZ, and IL. Multi-brand, multi-state is what we're built for.

What's included in the pod?

Depends on your tier: Starter gets 2 designers + PM. Growth adds an Art Director, motion designer, and 2 more designers. Full includes a Creative Director and strategist. Every pod gets compliance review, weekly syncs, and all 5 bonuses.

What types of assets can you produce?

Everything your brand needs: packaging, brand identity, social content, POP displays, pitch decks, website design, motion graphics, VFX, budtender training materials, merch, and investor presentations. If it's visual, we make it.

How does billing work?

One invoice per month. No hourly surprises, no scope-creep charges. Your monthly rate covers your allocated hours, unlimited revisions, and all bonus deliverables. Simple and predictable.
