Talking Points: Branding Bud author David Paleschuck

Before he joined the cannabis industry, David Paleschuck put together a career that seemed destined for it. A skateboarder with an MBA, before going green, he notched stints at American Express, Microsoft and Mountain Dew among other big brands. Now he’s Group Chief Branding Officer at The Matters Group.

Paleschuck’s new book, Branding Bud: The Commercialization of Cannabis, is a compendium of what he’s learned from a decade in the industry with in-depth examinations of many prominent brands. He recently shared a few thoughts with WeedWeek for our Talking Points interview series.

Check out the book too.
