Tapping into this visual asset, they created a campaign about a recently bygone era of using Blockbuster-inspired artwork.

Clients could select old-school DVDs, and if they purchased enough of the product, they would be rewarded with a branded blanket. The last pop-up tour was so successful that the company has ventured into a new immersive marketing experience tapping into the nostalgia of the American Corner Mart. Inspired by the corner store aesthetic of the 80s, the team have recreated a DreamField world with grocery bags and branded hotdog rolling machines that roll the company’s product. The company recently moved its operational base to a new 80,000-square-foot facility in the City of Desert Hot Springs, which used to just be a cultivation operation and is now its primary operation center in California. DreamFields employs over 1,100 people in California, and in Michigan, and Arizona, around 300 per state. Along with the significant investments into real estate for the business, the company has also invested in increasing its operational efficiency to ensure that the market gets the product they deserve. But above all else, DreamFields is focused on investing in its most important asset, its people. This extends from onboarding to training and developing individuals to ensuring everyone has the tools to accomplish their jobs more efficiently. It also includes upskilling and grooming leaders within the company and investing in them to be the best they can be.
