Premium vs Scale in Cannabis: Inside Rubicon’s Strategy ft. Margaret Brodie
Shownotes
Most cannabis companies chased scale. Rubicon chased quality.
What does it actually take to build a premium cannabis brand? Trust sits behind what “premium” really means, why consumers only give brands one chance, how Rubicon evaluates resource capacity and audits operations, and why Europe could become the next meaningful opportunity for their trusted brands.
This week we sit down with Margaret Brodie, CEO of Rubicon Organics:
• Why premium cannabis starts with flower
• Consumers Trust
• Internal Resource Audits
