Press coverage of the campaign generated more than five billion consumer impressions. It was covered by Saturday Night Live, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, USA Today, and media in 43 countries.
The campaign was recognized by the following organizations:
- The American Business Awards honored the “World’s Largest Cannabis Brownie” with a 2022 Gold “Stevie®” Award for “Communications Campaign of the Year.”
- The campaign was also a finalist for a Public Relations Society of America “Bronze Anvil” in the “Earned Media Coverage of a Consumer Product” category of its annual awards competition.
