Cash Crop Today Media is a global media, branding, and technology company that is focused on reporting the latest industry news related to investment information, entrepreneurship, politics, and technology from the industrial hemp and cannabis sectors. CCT offers an array of business to business and consumer marketing services such as digital media placement and advertising, curated video content development, management of social media campaigns, and regional, national, and international distribution. This past quarter Cash Crop Today has grown rapidly and currently has a total of 1.38 million views from visitors on their website monthly.
The Company has been observing CCT’s progress over the last eight months and has been impressed with how far they have advanced their business model in that short time. There is a clear demand for investment information distribution focused on the rapidly emerging hemp and cannabis industries, but there are few portals that retail and institutional investors can consistently count on for breaking news and valuable investment information on these industries.
Charlie Larsen, GHG CEO, said “Founder Dave Hill has been successful with similar models to Cash Crop in music and other industries, and we believe he will make Cash Crop Today the “go to” portal for investors in the hemp and cannabis space. We look forward to working with Dave and his associates and having them become a part of our GHG team.”
CCT will be hosting its first annual Investor & Business Resource Summit 2018on June 8th and 9th at the Sofitel Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The event will offer investors,entrepreneurs, business owners and Cash Crop Today Society Members an opportunity network with some of the pioneers of the hemp and cannabis industry and discuss their areas of expertise, experiences and unique perspectives.
