Seed & Smith

In a crowded market racing to the bottom, Seed & Smith sought to reestablish its brand on quality, transparency, and Colorado-grown pride. ABC repositioned the brand through a refined identity system, packaging redesign, and campaign platform built to reclaim pricing power and connect with a more discerning consumer.

About the work

Colorado’s cannabis market had matured—and commoditized. Seed & Smith, once a standout, was now competing on price in a race to the bottom. They needed to reset.


ABC helped refocus the brand on its roots: small-batch cultivation, in-house manufacturing, and Colorado-grown craft. We leaned into a narrative that echoed the ethos of the craft beer industry —local pride, consistent quality, and an honest, unpolished tone.


We overhauled the visual identity, messaging platform, and packaging system to communicate quality at every turn. The result: a brand that looked, sounded, and performed like a top-shelf offering.
