BRANDS WE’VE WORKED WITH

Reason to Believe

At Grasslands, we do things differently and with distinction. We understand that our clients have many choices when it comes to engaging with an agency—and to that end, we work hard to lead with transparency, authenticity and journalism-mindedness.

But what does a qualifier like journalism-mindedness mean in an agency? It means we show our work. It means we act with integrity and clarity. It means not overpromising and under-delivering. It means active listening, note-taking and treating your brand like the important story it is. We employ journalists, digital marketers and professionals with top-notch experience, relationships with media outlets and a passion for delivering exceptional work.

WHat our clients are saying

Inclusivity and proactivity are at the heart of everything the team at Grasslands does. They are approachable, welcoming and excel at communicating. Like any cannabis brand, we have certain constraints, and Grasslands knows how to figure out what will work best and be most effective with those in mind.

Grasslands just makes everything so easy for us. They know exactly how we want to be represented as a brand and always ensure that we are being promoted in the best possible light.


Missy Bradley

Vice President of Marketing

Grasslands has been such a present advocate for our organization since day one of working together. They are a team full of capable, intelligent, and responsive individuals who truly care for their clients. It is evident that their culture is incredible and they love the work they do because it shows in their thoughtfulness and extreme care in detail.


Grasslands has helped our organization to gain a great deal of media attention and always show up to strategize what is ahead. I could not dream up a better agency to collaborate with.

Sasha Kalcheff-Korn
Realm of Caring
Executive Director

As a business owner, I am constantly pulled in so many different directions. Before I partnered with Grasslands, I was reaching out to media outlets solo, scheduling my own interviews, writing my own content and always running out of time trying to get everything done to keep my business running the right way. Grasslands has completely changed that. Now, I can spend all of that time doing the things that better my business. My relationship with Grasslands frees up so much of my time to be a better business owner. 

I also now have more of a goal and a direction thanks to Grasslands. Instead of me just blanket-spreading information about my business and hoping it gets picked up by media outlets, Grasslands uses its network, relationships and know-how to find quality places to put my information and help reach my target audiences. Anyone can place an ad in a magazine—earned media is really the only thing that matters to me, and that is where Grasslands excels. They are also great communicators, very supportive and always on top of what I’m doing.

Founder and CEO

Electing to partner with Grasslands has proven to be the right choice at the right time for Escape Artists as we embarked on an extensive brand refresh coupled with several new product launches. Leveraging Grasslands’ expertise in not only PR, but also messaging strategy and content development, has been invaluable. We searched for a team that understood our nuanced industry, held the right connections, and approached the right opportunities. Grasslands has hit the mark.
