Background

VJ Group, a Massachusetts-based global provider of high-tech X-ray solutions, saw the opportunity to enter the growing cannabis industry. It founded a new division, VJ Scientific Inc., to address this market by providing cannabis cultivators with cutting-edge X-ray technology for eliminating mold, mildew, and bacteria from cannabis flower. 

In 2021, the company developed its first system, dubbed the CX-1000™, with significant IP and distinct advantages over competitive technology in the space. VJS was eager to enter this extremely competitive niche market with the launch of its new product at MJBizCon, the largest cannabis tradeshow in the world, in November of 2022.

Challenge

Competitors with similar offerings entered the market early on and had established strong relationships and substantial market share. To make the biggest impact possible, MJBizCon was the ideal platform to launch its brand and product. However, as a new market entrant at the largest tradeshow in cannabis, it would be difficult for VJ Scientific to gain visibility, build brand awareness, and make valuable industry connections with limited time at hand.

Solution

VJ Scientific’s solution was to hire Campbell to handle their launch. Leveraging industry knowledge, connections, and the expertise of our team, Campbell Consulting Group:

  • Pitched the VJ Scientific story to national business media, immediately landing an impactful article in Forbes.
  • Successfully introduced VJ Scientific and the CX-1000 to media and cannabis industry leaders before, and during, MJBizCon 2022.
  • Generated positive media mentions and articles about VJ Scientific and the CX-1000 to foster interest in the company and its services to drive sales.
  • Helped to position the CX-1000 as the best cannabis irradiation product available, setting VJS up for success for ongoing sales and future product launches.
 

“Without Campbell our launch would have been lackluster. We needed something BIG to catch the attention of our target audience. They delivered results almost immediately with a spotlight article in Forbes. I have never seen a website go from zero activity to a frenzy of new visits, social activity, and even several leads, within the first month of launching a website or brand.”
