Cannabis Copywriting + SEO Services
A cannabis copywriter creates strategic, compliant messaging for brands operating in one of the most regulated industries in the country. That includes website copy, product descriptions, dispensary content, brand positioning, long form SEO articles, and content marketing strategy.
I have written more than 1,000 published articles over the course of my career, including work for High Times, Rolling Stone, Business Insider, and Benzinga. I approach cannabis copywriting with both editorial standards and search performance in mind.
AWARD is led by Andrew Ward, a top cannabis journalist, author, and SEO strategist with over a decade of industry experience.

A cannabis copywriter creates strategic, compliant messaging for brands operating in one of the most regulated industries in the country. That includes blogs, website copy, product descriptions, dispensary content, brand positioning, long form SEO articles, and content marketing strategy.
I have written more than 1,000 published articles over the course of my career, including work for High Times, Rolling Stone, Business Insider, and Benzinga. I approach cannabis copywriting with both editorial standards and search performance in mind.

Investors and B2B operators
Whether you need a cannabis content writer for ongoing SEO support or a cannabis copywriter to refine your brand voice, I build strategies that align with long-term growth.
Cannabis is not like other industries. Regulations shift. Claims must be careful. Language matters. Audience trust is fragile.
I launched AWARD in 2017 specifically to serve cannabis brands. Since then, I have worked with plant touching operators, ancillary tech companies, media publications, and B2B brands. Before that, I covered the industry as a journalist. I have also published two nonfiction books, Cannabis Jobs (2020) & Marijuana Etiquette (2021), about cannabis and the people who work in it.
A general writer can research cannabis. I have lived in the industry for years. That difference shows in the work.
Put simply: I built my career inside the industry.
I have written more than 1,000 articles. I have published two nonfiction cannabis books. I have worked as a cannabis journalist and I currently operate as a strategy director overseeing search and content initiatives. I understand the grow room and the board room. I understand consumers and compliance. I understand storytelling and search data.
That combination allows me to create content that performs, not just content that fills space.
Of course!
I develop keyword roadmaps, content calendars, on page SEO structures, and long term content marketing plans alongside the writing itself. Every page is built around intent. Every article has a purpose. Every content decision ties back to visibility and growth.
