Crossmedia Takes The High Ground, Launches Cannabis Media Division

APRIL 20, 2019 -- New York-based independent media agency Crossmedia Inc. today announced a new unit, “XM Grows,” focusing on the burgeoning legal cannabis marketplace.

The new unit is a collaboration with marketing consultancy Dirt Worldwide and data management firm Nacci, and will focus on leveraging data-driven, cross-channel communications planning with outcome-based media activation driven by best in class attribution solutions, including direct-to-consumer marketing channels.

“The consumer landscape is full of a dizzying array of new products and services, from cannabis to blockchain to e-sports. XM Grows addresses the unique needs of marketers at a time of rapid change,” Crossmedia CEO Kamran Asghar states.

The first project of just-launched XM Grows is the launch of a new unit within the unit, Elevate, which the company calls a “first of its kind consultancy” providing marketing, and creative services for companies in the “budding North American cannabis industry.”
