Need more proof that weed is becoming a legit business enterprise as more U.S. states legalize?
Crain Communications, the Detroit-based media company that runs a litany of industry publications from Advertising Age to Pensions & Investments, recently acquired Green Market Report, a cannabis financial news site.
Yep, you heard that right: Crain Communications is going green.
Green Market Report launched in 2017 and averages about 150,000 page views per month. The New York-based digital media outlet specializes in topics including cannabis legislation, financial reporting and business trends.
“We are excited to add Green Market Report to our now 21-brand portfolio,” KC Crain, president and CEO of Crain Communications, said in a news release. “They focus on the financial, business and economic side of the cannabis industry, so it’s a natural fit with our other business brands.”
Though purchasing numbers haven’t been disclosed, the deal is expected to be finalized September 30.
