Creative direction and marketing systems for regulated brands.

Built the email & SMS program behind $4.6M in platform-attributed revenue — one delivery brand, one year

Portrait of Gabe Quair

I find what a brand already has that works, build the system around it, then make the content that runs inside it. Cannabis, THC drinks, craft alcohol — and the brands next to them.

Five years running a cannabis delivery brand's marketing and creative, from contractor to the whole department. Now doing it for brands that want one person accountable, camera to inbox.

How it works

Voice first. Then the system. Then the content. Six to ten weeks from first conversation to content live.

  1. The Dig2 weeks · $1,500

    The audit. What's working, what to kill, and a 90-day plan.

  2. The Teardown2–3 weeks

    Voice discovery. Nothing gets made until I know what the brand actually sounds like.

  3. The Blueprint3–4 weeks

    The system: voice guide, pillars, templates, calendar, lifecycle map.

  4. The Cut3–4 weeks

    Production. The first batch, built inside the system.

  5. The UpkeepMonth to month

    Maintain, measure, optimise. Anything that can be automated, is.

Where it starts

The Dig

Your marketing has a problem. Let's find it.

Audit→Findings→90-day plan
$1,500Flat
2 weeksDelivered, not scheduled

What you get

  • A full audit of what you've already built — posts, list, identity, packaging, site.
  • Findings: the twenty percent that's working, ranked and explained — and what to kill.
  • A 90-day content and lifecycle plan built only on what survived.
  • A 20-minute recorded walkthrough. A conversation, not a PDF nobody opens.

Starts within 3 days of payment, once I have account access. Credited in full against the project if you go ahead within 30 days.

“Thank you @JunkyardButcher for bringing this reel to life and capturing the spirit of our community.”

How I think about it

The feed is the flyer. The list is the door.

Attention is rented. Permission is owned. Everything I build moves people from a post, a reel or an event onto a list — and earns the right to keep talking to them.

Nothing is owed.
Everything is built.

“Your video kicks ass… it's what I wanted.”

  1. I read it myself and reply within two business days.
  2. A 15-minute call to see if there's a fit — no pitch deck.
  3. The Dig, or a proposal priced to the work.
