Scary Plants Media & Marketing Consulting

About Us

Scary Plants Media is a marketing consultancy built on a simple idea: real community investment beats chasing trends every time.

Founder Lesley Nickus spent years running newsrooms before moving into corporate brand strategy before working directly with small businesses to develop effective marketing strategies. Knowing what it takes to earn a community's trust and keep it shapes everything we do now for business owners.

We help clients get clear on who they are, build a content strategy that actually fits their bandwidth, and market with confidence in industries where the rules aren't always simple, including cannabis and other regulated spaces. Whether you need a full brand foundation, a content plan you can stick to, or hands-on consulting to get unstuck, we meet you where you are.

We also run Community Through Content, a free educational program that walks local business owners through building their brand, planning their content, and mapping a realistic production roadmap.

What we offer:
- Brand strategy & identity development
- Content strategy & production planning
- Marketing consulting for regulated industries (cannabis and beyond)
- Market research & competitive positioning
- Community Through Content — our free educational program for small business owners
