Organic relationships. The hub of the wheel. A developed network for ancillary service providers, plant-touching license holders, and interested entrepreneurs.
Our trusted referral model develops through authentic engagement with regional pioneers, civic leaders, advocates, and individuals looking to transition into the space from all over the country.
Since 2015, Longview consultants have led in active cannabis markets as expert speakers, business owners, ancillary service operators, and plant-touching executives. We combine decades of experience in professional services with creative and active engagement in the cannabis community to develop compelling narrative collateral for license applications, careful analysis of business goals, marketing opportunities, regulatory research, ghost-writing, strategic communications, personal brand development, and more.
Cannabis Writing, Scaling, and Compliance
Cannabis licensing drives much of the emerging market as regions come online. For license-holders, Longview assists clients in ongoing strategic thinking, application management, narrative development, marketing collateral, and recordkeeping as more licenses are won.
For MSO clients, Longview helps to help fill gaps as your company scales and advise as new opportunities present themselves. For prospective license-holders, we bring the same standard of excellence as teams grow and solidify their strategies, documents, partnerships, and respond specifically to license application windows in the state. In the interim between licensing windows, Longview consultants are engaged in a variety of grant-related, journalistic, and speechwriting capacities.
Hemp and CBD Guidance
Longview Strategic has assisted the leading-edge of hemp research, production, and market expansion in CBD markets all over the country. In early-adopting States, we helped form coalitions of investors, farmers, scientists, and CPG experts to advise pioneering institutions and interested onlookers.
With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, Longview consultants have engaged with hemp entrepreneurs to help form businesses, source ingredients, apply for legal licensing, and pursue international relationships and supply lines. Whether your project is driven by consumer products, scientific research, textile, material sciences, or advocacy, we can help guide you through the pitfalls of an ever-changing industry.
Community and Industry Business Development
Entrepreneurs positioning for entrance into the legal cannabis industry turn to Longview for strategic advice and pathways to engagement with the grassroots cannabis community in the emerging market. Consultants assist with project management and personal development to represent and follow-through on plans for corporate responsibility and community engagement.
For potential applicant groups, Longview operationalizes the relationship between specific license checklists and authentic groups in the region. For entrepreneurs positioning as partners to license-holders, Longview assists in generating specific term-sheets, media-messaging, and research towards due diligence in partnership.
