Client: Safe Source Hemp|Business Initiative: Launch a New Company|Tactics: Brand Development
Safe Source Hemp (SSH) was a 2019 start-up in the Industrial Hemp industry. It failed to secure the necessary funding for growth although numerous tools were developed to secure investors.
When requesting investor funding, the client believed it was important that whatever was being developed had a name and identity. It makes the investment more relatable and shows skin in the game.
Hundreds of hours were invested in the business plans, financials, renderings, video, and other content created to bring Safe Source Hemp to life.
Presenting the opportunity to investors
Planting the Seeds of Something Bigger
Safe Source Hemp began with a simple belief: a meaningful business could be built from the ground up, rooted in the farmland of southeastern Michigan. When the client sat down with prospective investors, they weren’t only asking for $15 million. They were inviting them into a vision. The 18-Month Overview laid out the major milestones and timeline for acquisition, development and execution: securing licenses, planting the first 25 acres of hemp and converting existing buildings into a state-of-the-art processing and retail facility. Behind every date was a bigger promise. The plan called for more than 20 new jobs in Monroe County, a trusted partner for Midwest farmers, and a homegrown brand built on quality and trust.
company branding
A Name Built on Trust
The name Safe Source Hemp was chosen to say what set the business apart: the finest hemp available, all organic and never manipulated. The logo backs it up. A traditional medical cross signals medical-grade quality, and the hemp leaf keeps the focus on the product hero, industrial hemp.
campaign elements
Safe Source Hemp needed more than a good idea to win over investors. It needed proof they could deliver. Every piece was built to answer the questions investors would ask, from detailed planning documents to a clear picture of the future facility and a firsthand look at the work already underway. Together, they told one story: this was a business ready to grow.
Investor-Ready Business Plan: A full 76-page plan covered everything from the executive summary to the financials. A 20-page abbreviated version and a hard-hitting one-page investor summary gave investors with less time a faster way into the opportunity.
Architectural Visualization: Realistic 3D renderings brought the planned facility to life, showing investors exactly how their funding would transform the property and carry the brand throughout.
Seeding Video: We made video a priority from day one. Filming the moment the first seeds germinated showed their commitment to quality from the very beginning.
Progress Photography: We documented each stage of the growing process in photos, giving prospective investors a clear, real-time view of the progress and how the operation worked.
