The Smell the Truth partnership provides PRØHBTD with access to its vast global audience stemming from their relationship with SFGate, the seventh largest daily newspaper website in the U.S., owned by Hearst Media.  In addition, Smell the Truth now has access to the PRØHBTD content library which includes more than 100 broadcast-quality videos covering entertainment and informational topics, including shows  “Get LOUD!” starring Slink Johnson of Adult Swim/Black Jesus fame, “Modern Grower” hosted by VICE favorite Felix Fang, “Pot Pie” with the Herbal Chef Chris Sayegh, how-to cook with “The Smoking Pot” and access to animated educational content from the PRØHBTD LEARN channel. 

PRØHBTD offers compelling content with expert production value that connects with our sophisticated Smell The Truth community” said the company’s president Dean Arbit. “The PRØHBTD management team are seasoned big brand entertainment executives and know their craft better than anyone else in the cannabis industry.”

For the past 15 years, Format Entertainment has provided music supervisory expertise and vision to some of the most successful films and TV shows, including Guardians of the Galaxy, Pitch Perfect 1 & 2, Straight Outta Compton, The Avengers, and, most recently on the hit TV show Empire. With this new partnership, Format’s music production division now actively provides original music for inclusion in each PRØHBTD show, ensuring cannabis brands a premium Hollywood music experience.  

Format works with best-in-class companies run by trusted professionals that produce stunning premium content and provide valuable services to exciting, important and growing audiences.  Partnering with PRØHBTD was a natural decision for us and we are excited to be part of the team,” says Dave Jordan, CEO Format.

Los Angeles-based agency Green St. has built cannabis brands such as Apothecanna, Gpen, Nexus Glass, Honey Supply, Bhang Chocolate and more with creative solutions that elevate brands above the noise of a competitive marketplace.

"In our new series “Going Green”, we enlisted PRØHBTD as a production partner and distribution channel to share a variety of highly entertaining celebrity-driven stories about the nuts and bolts of building a cannabis brand” said Green St. Co-Founder Joshua Shelton. “Viewers will come away inspired to start their own ventures in the cannabis industry while watching Green St.'s celebrity roster launch their brands.

The video creation process timeline varies, depending on the style, format and the needs of the partner.
