Mobius Adds Cannabis Advertising Competition

Mobiles Awards

The venerable
international
competition
has become
the first
to feature a
cannabis category

Mobius Cannabis Advertising & Package Design makes its debut in the 2019 competition, which opened April 25. Mobius Awards headquartered in Redondo Beach, was organized in Chicago in 1971 as part of the U.S. Television and Radio Commercials Festival.

“It was time,” says Chairman Lee Gluckman Jr. “The newest and yet oldest products in the world are cannabis and hemp. While they have been around forever, their acceptance in the broader marketplace now grows at a runaway pace.”

As many large established corporations are taking advantage of the cannabis/hemp market, Mobius has researched how many new products have evolved. “We want to be part of the excitement by recognizing the efforts to market cannabis/hemp products.”

These include Brochure/Book, Direct, Digital, Immersive Marketing, Lifestyle Content Marketing, Mixed Media Campaign, New Media, Online, Outdoor, Package Design and Redesign, Point-of-Purchase, Print, Radio, Television and Student.
