Why It Matters
This acquisition brings in two key Enlighten features:
- SmartHub, a subscription software that powers in-dispensary digital menus and kiosks; and
- AdSuite, an in-store digital ad inventory for brands to reach consumers at the point of purchase.
These solutions now allow Weedmaps to provide a comprehensive advertising offering to clients as part of WM Business.
About Enlighten
Enlighten was founded in 2018. Founders Jeremy Jacobs and Colby McKenzie identified the lack of resources available to consumers who wanted to become educated on the industry, as well as the lack of opportunities for cannabis brands to advertise, and decided to create this company.
