N6A has been tasked with increasing media visibility for Canopy and founders Patrick Rea and Micah Tapman.

"It was important that we found an agency partner that was uniquely qualified with both domain expertise in cannabis, and one that was equally as strong and connected with the national mainstream media," said Micah Tapman, managing director of Canopy.

Canopy is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado with offices in San Diego and Berkeley, California. 

"We're proud to be partnering with Canopy and to go on this journey together as demand for quality content, leadership and unique perspectives on the legal cannabis industry continues to increase in the mainstream media,” said N6A’s CEO Matt Rizzetta.

N6A is based in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City.  Founded in 2010, the agency represents clients across more than 30 industries, including consumer services, data and analytics, energy, financial services, food and beverage, healthcare, professional services, technology, and travel and hospitality.
