Growth accelerator. Brand whisperer. Creative marketer. These are just a couple of descriptors for one of the gems of the cannabis marketing world. Enter Angela Pih, CMO and creative force behind California based Statehouse Holdings. 

Having cut her cannabis teeth with Papa & Barkley as well as Cannacraft, Angela is no stranger to helping navigate incredibly rich and storied brands through the ever-evolving maze that is cannabis marketing. Through the 4 and a half short years Angela has been in the space, she's managed to become a 3-time Clio Award winner as well as having a seat on the Rolling Stone Culture Council.

We caught up with Angela during the legendary Emerald Cup Harvest Ball located in Santa Rosa California to discuss her transition to CMO of Statehouse from Cannacraft and how Statehouse can best help the soured relationships between Northern California's legacy cannabis scene and Harborside dispensary. 

All this and more in this week's edition of Conversations in Cannabis.
