Delta Mantra

Crafting a Resilient Cannabis Brand

Delta Mantra faced a challenging regulatory landscape, market saturation, and internal hurdles that threatened its ability to compete. As a cannabis farm and distributor, Delta Mantra needed to stand out with a strong brand identity, packaging, and distribution strategy while ensuring compliance with shifting state regulations. Watson was brought in to create a complete brand system, including identity development, packaging design, point-of-sale materials, photography, and key messaging.
