About Us

We produce distinctive events and focused content that accelerates the growth and profitability of cannabis brands and retailers.

MJ Unpacked serves the needs of the most critical sub-segmentation of any CPG industry – the brands and retailers. Unlike events and conferences that are heavily populated with supply-side and infrastructure companies and lack attendee qualification, MJ Unpacked provides an exclusive forum for qualified brand and retail decision-makers. We facilitate peer-to-peer collaboration, discussions of what will drive direct engagement with consumers, and the evolving state-by-state landscape. MJ Unpacked delivers unique data presentations and insights pertinent to the segment driving today’s market.

MJ Unpacked is produced by Jage Media.

Our Mission

To foster a community of brands and retailers and provide them the space and resources to thrive.

Our Values

You come first

Our first priority is to deliver an exceptional experience and value for our customers. We were customer-centric before it became popular and always approach our interactions as one of service.

We strive to excel

We will often ask you what you need. We do not assume that we know your changing business needs. We will ask about your pain points, and we will deliver solutions.

We have integrity

We do not subscribe to a "pay-to-play" model of business. You can't pay us to be a speaker at our virtual events or a contributor to our news. We select speakers and contributors based on the solutions and experience they can provide our audience in-concert with the community's needs.
