Royal Queen Seeds (RQS) has secured a prime spot in New York's world-famous Times Square to celebrate Cannabis Culture Day, April 20th. The message commemorated the city's first 20/04 as a legal market, a historic date in the culture and recreational use of cannabis. The ad was also part of Royal Queen Seeds' international expansion campaign, which flew across the Atlantic to the United States.
The company, based in Barcelona, aims to revolutionize the world of cannabis cultivation and become a leading company in the US market.
The announcement included a countdown to 16:20 pm at an event designed to greet all New Yorkers on 20/04. “Royal Queen Seeds has always been at the forefront of innovation and creativity and this Times Square ad is just another example of our commitment to making unique and exciting projects,” said Shai Ramsahai, Director of Operations for Royal Queen Seeds. He added that "4/20 is a vital date for cannabis culture and was the perfect occasion to celebrate our arrival in the United States and our dedication to innovation in the cannabis industry."
The company also developed, in partnership with the Portuguese company 8000Kicks, sneakers made of hemp and decorated with hemp flowers.
