NisonCo is the leading cannabis, psychedelics and emerging industries PR and SEO firm. We have active relationships with thousands of journalists and outlets and connections to thousands of industry-specific companies; networking and exposure are the core of what we do. Since our founding in 2013, we’ve worked with over 125 companies to increase brand awareness. Our all-remote team has a proven track record of successful political advocacy supporting the legalization of cannabis and other socially responsible causes.

As the Outbound Marketing person, your role in NisonCo is to focus on top-of-funnel marketing techniques for business-to-business lead generation and to evaluate viable leads to pass off to our Biz Dev person. You are responsible for using research, mass-email campaigns, social media and advertising to identify and reach the right members of a brand for multiple contact points. Vetting and nurturing leads to assess their seriousness is also expected before passing information to our Biz Dev person for closing deals. 

You’ll manage the B2B leads within internal databases to ensure all leads are engaged in “touch-point” campaigns, maintain our data’s integrity, and help improve our messaging. A penchant for automation will make your work easier. You will join a weekly team and 1:1 calls to strengthen internal systems and use data to illustrate successes and challenges while conveying group feedback. 

This work is integral as you bring leads into our sales funnel and help market our services. As a representative of the leading PR and SEO agency for emerging industries, promoting our services, forging connections, and demonstrating general industry knowledge are necessary skills.
