Stella Morrison
Founder & Content Strategist
Stella is an award-winning former journalist with more than 15 years of editorial experience. Her specialties are in content creation for SEO, brand voice development and management, and editorial calendar creation and management. She is bi-coastal, splitting time between New Jersey and California — the perfect places to immerse herself in emerging and mature cannabis markets.
Prior to opening CannaContent with Adam and Brie, Stella worked in newspaper journalism, where she landed her first staff writing job at 18 years old. Her journalism work earned her first place recognition from the New Jersey Press Association and widespread recognition for local and regional news coverage, particularly during superstorm Sandy. Working with a diverse set of subjects — and learning quickly to write about them on an expert level — was an essential component of this work. This foundation set the stage for the ruthless pursuit of quality and thoroughness that shapes her content marketing work today.
With local journalism’s future uncertain, Stella hung up her press credentials and joined the licensing industry as a brand manager on the manufacturing side. In this role, Stella worked closely with multiple internationally-recognized brands in consumer electronics, lighting, and home products to build and market brand-compliant product lines. She also worked on developing private-label brands that are sold in the largest retailers in the U.S., including Target and TJ Maxx.
When not at her desk, you’ll find Stella singing to her houseplants, searching for great sushi spots, and thrifting for vintage treasures and great bargains.
