MediaJel

Based in Walnut Creek, California, this small team of ten or fewer specialists focuses on regulated industries that face advertising restrictions, particularly cannabis businesses, alongside alcohol and gaming operators. The agency positions itself around compliance-first marketing, building campaigns designed to meet regulatory requirements while reaching audiences of legal age. Its client base centers on cannabis dispensaries and other operators in markets where standard advertising channels often reject or limit regulated-industry content. The service offering spans SEO, social media marketing, SMS marketing, and cannabis-specific advertising across display, Google Ads, connected TV, video, native, and digital-out-of-home (DOOH) formats. MediaJel also operates its own technology alongside agency services, including a DataJel audience-building tool, a white-label SaaS platform, and a self-service ad platform, which support audience targeting for 21+ demographics and revenue attribution tracking across marketing channels. This combination allows campaigns to be launched and monitored within a programmatic advertising framework built specifically for sectors where mainstream ad networks impose restrictions. The agency describes its approach as full-service marketing tailored to cannabis and adjacent regulated industries, covering strategy, content, and paid media execution rather than a single specialized service line.
