AgraFlora Organics International Inc. , a growth oriented and diversified international cannabis company, announced the Company has taken steps to accelerate the market growth of Whole Hemp Health, a proprietary line of hemp-derived cosmetic products developed/owned/manufactured by Canutra Naturals Ltd. (“Canutra”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AgraFlora. The Company, via Canutra, has engaged Gatekeeper Growth Partners (“Gatekeeper”), an elite performance-marketing firm, to assist Canutra in driving the growth of its Whole Hemp Health products on online marketplaces such as Amazon.
Pursuant to a definitive agreement entered into between Canutra and Gatekeeper, Gatekeeper will deploy a proven arsenal of digital marketing tools to acquire new customers for Whole Hemp Health with the primary goal of accelerating growth through online and direct-to-consumer channels. This includes supporting the current Whole Hemp Health sales force with a proprietary suite of marketing technologies, including data-driven advertising campaigns that have a proven track record of driving conversions and sales for wellness products. In particular, the Company will leverage Gatekeeper’s strong knowledge of and history of success on the Amazon platform, as well as other ecommerce marketplaces.
“We are pleased that we conform with Gatekeeper’s strict product criteria and to be selected as a partner to their proven sales model, which de-risks our online advertising strategy,” stated Canutra CEO Tony Harris. “Gatekeeper only selects a few clients per year to partner with, and it is a testament to the quality and market potential of our products that they have chosen to work with Whole Hemp Health.”
“Gatekeeper Growth Partners has a very select roster of clients. Our focus is on partnering with quality brands ready for explosive online sales growth. We are excited to be working with a leading brand such as Whole Hemp Health in the emerging natural luxury wellness vertical. Our team speaks the language of conversion and sales, not clicks and impressions, and we look forward to a long, growth-oriented partnership with the forward-thinking Canutra Naturals team,” says Brian MacKay, Managing Partner of Gatekeeper Growth Partners.
