Brand Ambassador - NY

About Us

Pronoia Labs is a passionate team of professionals who support (among others) a dynamic lifestyle brand called turn. This brand is renowned as a top-selling cannabis entity operating across multiple states within the USA. Beyond cannabis, turn thrives as an e-commerce powerhouse in the hemp and apparel sectors. The brand’s innovation extends into the non-alcoholic and functional beverage space, currently in the R D stage, while the current product line includes non-cannabis alcoholic beverages such as beer and seltzers. As turn continues to evolve, the brand plans to expand into more verticals over the next 12-18 months, ensuring turn remains synonymous with versatility and innovation.

At turn, everyone operates under the ethos of "it's your turn," a slogan that captures the belief in transformation and opportunity, whether it's a verb to signify change or a noun representing a chance to make an impact.
