WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US
Testimonials
Forte was an invaluable resource in assisting me with the establishment of my retail dispensary. Brytany and her team provided expert guidance throughout the process, helping to streamline our operations and back-office functions. While I had a clear vision for my business, their insightful suggestions significantly enhanced our efficiency and positioned us for future optimization. The personalized planning sessions offered my team and me the opportunity to address our inquiries related to HR, inventory setup, organization, operations, and management. Forte served as an essential support system for my small business, particularly during a time that felt quite isolating. Thank you to Forte for their exceptional service!
Vanessa Yee-Chan, Alta Dispensary, NY
Brytany is a shining star in the cannabis industry. Her work
ethic and in-depth understanding of what drives real value
in the space is unmatched. She has a marketing/branding
brain and is someone I’d consider to be a curator in the
industry. She was the first to bring our brand to Ontario via
accessories wholesale and we’ve continued to explore many different opportunities for retail expansion since
then. I would highly recommend this team to anyone considering retail or brand/marketing support.
John Kaye – Co-Founder, Creative Director Burb (CA/US)
From the first day I met Brytany at a Long Island Cannabis Coalition meeting, I knew she was the perfect fit for us. Even before we officially hired her, she went above and beyond to
offer valuable advice and guidance as we worked toward
getting our license. Forte truly felt like part of our team, and I always knew I could count on Brytany for support, no matter the time of day. She’s not only a trusted professional, but also a dear friend. I’m grateful for everything she’s done for us—she’s a true entrepreneur and an incredible asset.
