SAN DIEGO, CA, July 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire - CMW Media (“CMW” or the “Company”), a public relations and digital marketing agency specializing in emerging markets, announced today the appointment of Cassandra Dowell as Partner in the firm as well as the promotion of Nicole Farah to Senior Public Relations and Investor Relations Lead and Beth Adan to Senior Public Relations Account Manager on the PR team.
The promotions are intended to ignite the rapid growth of an award-winning firm that has branded the top names in cannabis, helped legalize the US and several major global markets for cannabidiol (CBD), and educated millions of readers and viewers around the world.
"I am grateful for the extraordinary opportunity to harness my passion for storytelling and channel it toward elevating cannabis to the forefront of mainstream, international discussions, while shining a spotlight on the remarkable individuals who make such developments possible,” said Dowell, Partner at CMW Media. “The CMW firm has a powerful story of its own, with experience educating and opening up foreign markets, and speaking at numerous educational and trade shows across the US. I would like to thank my team members for their support, and our clients for trusting us every day.”
Dowell brings well over a decade of cannabis industry and public relations experience to CMW Media from her role as VP of Communications for Revolution Enterprises in Chicago, one of Illinois’ first licensed cultivators under the state’s medical program. Before joining Revolution, Dowell excelled as an award-winning journalist and cannabis trade writer based in the Chicagoland area. At CMW, Dowell has run and constructed campaigns around multiple IPOs and public- and Nasdaq-traded companies, represented the Emerald Conference for PR during their acquisition by Marijuana Business Conference, and represented Grassroots when they were acquired by Curaleaf for $875 million. Dowell has a BA in Journalism from Roosevelt University.
“As a business leader, I always consider elevating our employees and pushing them to be the best they can one of the largest responsibilities of a firm,” said Kyle Porter, the CEO of CMW Media. “A huge congratulations to Cassandra and to Nicole and Beth on her team, they have shown hard work, tenacity and that they care about the company – they deserve the acknowledgement and a very sincere thanks to our entire hard-working team.”
