(TheNewswire)

VANCOUVER, BC / TheNewswire / April 8th, 2019  – Sproutly Canada, Inc. (CSE: SPR) (OTCQB: SRUTF) (FSE: 38G) (“Sproutly" or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has hired Ogilvy Canada (“Ogilvy”) as its integrated brand development agency. Ogilvy is a global award-winning creative agency that does brand work for Fortune Global 500 companies as well as local businesses across 131 offices in 83 countries. Ogilvy’s Toronto office will deliver world-class creative and impactful communications strategies to promote the launch of Sproutly’s brands into the Canadian cannabis market.  

As the Company approaches the legalization of edibles and beverages slated for October of this year, Sproutly is developing its brand and partnership strategy tied to its exclusive license of Aqueous Phytorecovery Process (APP) technology that it obtained through the acquisition of Infusion Biosciences Canada Inc. APP technology is the only patent-pending process which is able to produce naturally water-soluble cannabinoids that deliver the full experience of cannabis with on-set effects starting within approximately 5 minutes and dissipating within approximately 90 minutes, offering consumers a predictable and consistent cannabis experience.

"With award-winning creativity and a deep understanding of our consumers, Ogilvy will be a valuable partner in helping Sproutly to launch into the beverage and edibles market with a brand and strategy that uniquely delivers the rapid onset benefits of our APP proprietary technology" said Melise Panetta, Vice President, Marketing and Sales, for Sproutly.  

“Sproutly is an incredibly innovative company with a unique value proposition. We are excited to partner with Sproutly in building a brand that will offer newcomers to the beverage and edibles market a best in class cannabis experience. We understand that in the rapidly growing cannabis category, the role of branding will be paramount in winning over new consumers” said Brian Murray, Chief Creative Officer, Ogilvy Toronto.
