Vision Greens

THE CHALLENGE: Drive visibility and credibility for an agtech startup.


Date:
January 1, 2025

how it started

Vision Greens is a sustainable, Ontario-based vertical farming company delivering fresh, locally grown produce year-round.

While its greens were already on shelves at some grocery retailers, expanding into more stores quickly was critical for growth. At the same time, building confidence among investors was essential to fuel farm expansion. Verified Communications supported these objectives by developing a B2B and B2C PR strategy. Starting with a newsworthy fundraising announcement, the strategy evolved into a chef-led consumer PR effort — both designed to position Vision Greens as a relevant, Canadian-founded innovator in sustainable farming.
