Beard Bros Media is thrilled to announce the appointment of Chris Carroll as their new Director of Partnerships. Chris brings extensive experience in growing businesses through innovative sales and marketing, with the last decade spent working within the cannabis industry.
Chris’s journey in the cannabis sector began in 2016 after a successful career in financial services. He and his wife relocated from New Jersey to Southern California, where Chris transitioned his expertise into the cannabis industry. During this time, he sold brands into dispensaries while working for a global innovation consultancy specializing in design thinking and storytelling. Notably, he played a key role in scaling the popular event series, “Blunt Talks.”
Bill and Jeff Levers, co-founders of Beard Bros Pharms, first met Chris during his tenure with Blunt Talks, which culminated with the Bros headlining one of their most popular events held at Exchange LA. This collaboration laid the foundation for a strong professional relationship built on mutual respect and shared goals.
For the past five years, Chris has been dedicated to empowering cannabis operators through the strategic use of data. He began this journey at BDSA, a leading cannabis data and analytics company, where he honed his skills in leveraging data to drive business growth. Recently, he transitioned to Hoodie Analytics, where he collaborated with retailers and brands to enhance operational efficiencies and foster growth.
In his new role at Beard Bros Media, Chris will leverage his extensive background in data analytics and his deep understanding of the cannabis market to forge strategic partnerships that will benefit their media and event clients alike. His expertise will be instrumental in enhancing Beard Bros Media’s offerings, ensuring that clients receive cutting-edge insights and unparalleled support.
Bill and Jeff are confident that Chris’s addition to the rapidly growing Beard Bros team of all-stars will continue elevating the ability to deliver exceptional value to their clients and partners. Beard Bros Media is poised to continue its trajectory of upward growth and innovation in the cannabis industry for 2024 and beyond.
