Feb. 24, 2017, Banff, Alta. – Tweed Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canopy Growth Corporation, has been named an Emerging Cult Brand of the Year at The Gathering, a one-of-a-kind festival that connects like-minded marketers and entrepreneurs and celebrates “the world’s bravest brands” who have developed cult-like followings.

Tweed – Canada’s largest marijuana producer – is being recognized along with established brands including Canada Goose, Levi’s and Fender.

Focusing on a delicate balance of charitable, compassionate and fun partnerships, the award acknowledges Tweed’s strong brand presence, voice and credibility that have been built over a short period of time.

“To be surrounded by such established companies is an honour. With massive expansion and exciting new products in the works this award is motivation to continue doing what we do best: innovating and building our voice.”

Linton was also given the opportunity to present the Tweed story, from its origin as a medical cannabis brand in small town, Ontario to the forward-looking lifestyle approach it looks to pursue in the context of a possible legal recreational cannabis market.
