We highly recommend ColaDigital to anyone looking for a reputable and trusted marketing company who knows what they are doing!
We recently hired Vee and his team at Cola Digital to be in charge of our SEO and blog content services. We wanted a company that was knowledgeable in the cannabis space and could tailor our marketing strategies to coincide with where the industry is and where it is headed. After roughly 5 months of working with ColaDigital, we can confidently say that we made the right choice and we have seen more traffic to the site and more leads coming in.

Viral Marketing Done Right!
I’ve been around the viral marketing scene for almost 20 years, and what Vee has done with Nightmares is at the top of my list of amazing. So good in fact, that I spotlighted him in one of my books as the example of how to do viral marketing right. Besides being a good guy and smart as a whip, he understands community and viral marketing better than most.
