Cannabis stock news: Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: $MJNA) Subsidiary Kannaway® Receives Two 2019 BIG Awards for Business
SAN DIEGO - November 6, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Medical Marijuana, Inc. ("the Company") (OTC: MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States that launched the world's first-ever cannabis-derived nutraceutical products, brands and supply chain, announced today that its subsidiary Kannaway® was named Small Business Company of the Year in the Life Sciences, Health, Wellness, and Nutrition category by the Business Intelligence Group's 2019 BIG Awards for Business. Also, Kannaway®'s CEO Blake Schroeder was named Small Business Executive of the Year in the Life Sciences, Health, Wellness, and Nutrition category.
The Business Intelligence Group's 2019 BIG Awards for Business were launched to acknowledge companies, products, and people that are leading their respective industries. The organization's proprietary and unique scoring system selectively measures performance across multiple business domains and then rewards those companies whose achievements stand above those of their peers.
As the first direct-selling company to bring hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) products to market in the U.S. and Europe, Kannaway® was named Small Business Company of the Year to recognize the Company's international advocacy efforts for CBD access and education. The Company held its European Grand Opening Event in Prague in 2018 where more than 2,000 people attended and executives revealed several new innovative CBD products. Kannaway® experienced an increase of nearly 200% in revenue over 2017 revenue, much of that success attributed to its European operations.
"We are honored and humbled to have the hard work of our team recognized by the BIG Awards for Business," said Kannaway® CEO Blake Schroeder. "2019 was a banner year for revenue growth at the Company, especially in our international operations, and we are proud to continue to be a pioneer for the industry in educating new markets about hemp-based CBD."
Schroeder is one of 60 global leaders recognized by the 2019 BIG Awards for Business and the sole winner of the Small Business Executive of the Year for the Life Sciences, Health, Wellness, and Nutrition category. The award honors his efforts in growing the Company's revenue more than 60 times since joining the executive team along with his work to help expand the Company's product offerings to meet growing consumer demand.
"We are excited by this recognition and believe that it will help us make CBD and hemp-derived products available to people around the world," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. "Awards like these continue to boost our reputation as a category leader and set a standard of professionalism that we wish to impart upon the entire industry."
