Oakland Cannabis Equity Public Awareness Campaign

About the Campaign 

The Oakland Legendary Cannabis Awareness Campaign is sponsored by the City of Oakland and produced by Oaksterdam University to distinguish and promote Oakland’s social equity cannabis business operators statewide through a distinctive certification mark on product packaging and a targeted public relations campaign.

  • Support gaining earned media 
  • Interviews, shoutouts, and event features
