The Cannabis PR Queen

The Cannabis PR Queen, Rosie Mattio, Founder & CEO of MATTIO Communications joins us today on Plant Prophets. Rosie is the CEO and founder of MATTIO Communications, one of the top cannabis PR firms in the country and has been named a High Times Female 50 and Forbes Fifteen Powerful And Innovative Women In Cannabis. When Rosie moved to Seattle with her family in 2014, Washington had just legalized adult-use marijuana, making it the second in the country after Colorado. Having launched her own one-person PR shop ten years earlier, Mattio quickly realized her background and expertise could fit a much-needed niche in the then-emerging cannabis space. Since then, the indefatigable Mattio, 38, has undergone a dazzling career trajectory. Her eponymous New York City-based firm MATTIO Communications, for which she serves as CEO, has attracted kudos and top-tier clients, among them Headset, a provider of analytics for the cannabis industry and Canadian cannabis company TerrAscend. Last year, MATTIO secured over 3,000 media placements for clients, generating four times the revenue from the previous year. It’s been a very heady and hectic road for Mattio but clearly one she wouldn’t have any other way. MATTIO Communications is a diverse, deeply curious and hard-working team. Although they each have different backgrounds and talents, what unifies them is the belief that well-told stories contribute to a more interesting and intelligent world. Headquartered in New York City, MATTIO Communications is an award-winning, independent marketing and communications firm that serves local and national cannabis and lifestyle clients.
