The Goal

Grow Sciences was looking for a way to generate enthusiasm amongst retailers for the launch of their Live Hash Rosin cartridge. To do so, they used LeafLink’s Featured Brand Ads and Display Ad Bundles to share promotional messaging throughout the LeafLink marketplace.

The Challenge

Grow Sciences was concerned: in a hyper-competitive market like Arizona, would they be able to make a big splash with the release of their new product?

“We wanted to bring something new to the market with the Live Hash Rosin cartridge — which meant taking an advertising risk on a product that, on the surface, might not seem as exciting as it is.
