Lana Van Brunt
Before creating Sackville, Van Brunt was simultaneously the Director of Experiential Marketing, Head Talent Buyer and Director of Business Operations at VICE Media. Holding all positions at once was a feat of creativity and endurance, setting her up to build out her own Brand Consulting Firm, These Days Consulting, which oversaw the launch and build out of ATTN: Media’s Experiential Marketing and Brand Partnership’s Division. Turning her focus to the burgeoning cannabis industry Van Brunt launched Sackville & Co. and has utilized her marketing and brand building expertise to 200% year over year growth. As a female in this industry, Van Brunt has faced many challenges and stigmas throughout her journey, yet she has never let this interfere with her mission to change the face of cannabis through Sackville’s design lens. With a background building brands at the pulse of the zeitgeist, Van Brunt parlayed her well-arrayed credentials in music and art to build out noteworthy collaborations including Wu-Tang’s GZA, Playboy and Carrots.
Van Brunt’s experiences in marketing and branding, combined with her eye for design and passion to destigmatize cannabis, has shaped Sackville & Co.'s carefully curated aesthetics. The product’s design breathes new life into the evolving industry as they garner attention from Gen-Z, one of the fastest growing consumer demographics in cannabis. With their homebase New York poised to become a cannabis capital, Sackville & Co. and Sackville Studios are just taking off as the trailblazers in innovation in cannabis.
