Platinex Inc. has engaged Hello Digital Marketing Ltd. of Winnipeg, Man., to develop an on-line community platform which will become the top marketplace and resource for a broad audience of marijuana and cannabis users, community ambassadors, and vendors. While this is the ultimate target, Platinex intends to be attracting vendors and customers to generate revenue from non-controlled products related to the cannabis industry well before the legalization of marijuana.
James R Trusler, president and chief executive officer of Platinex, stated: "We are pleased to be able to work with Hello Digital Marketing, a high-profile, exuberant, enthusiastic, digital marketing and website design agency. In its brief history, Hello Digital Marketing has partnered with several industry-leading platforms with superb results."
Joshua Hay, partner, business development, Hello Digital Marketing, said: "Hello is excited to work with the team at Platinex to begin provisioning the discovery and design process for CannabisMall.Shop and CannabisMall.Org Web portals. This initial project will cover the research and benchmarks, design and development of brand assets and concepts for both the on-line marketplace (CannabisMall.Shop) and the on-line community (CannabisMall.Org), and will outline the objectives and strategy to launch the platform prior to legalization in 2018. The marketplace functionality will be built and in place, ready to accept payments, and fulfill orders well before marijuana becomes legalized in Canada."
