Who the F*** is Doreen Sullivan
MANY KNOW HER, and everyone loves her... Doreen Sullivan, not just an Entrepreneur but an ULTRAPRENEUR, has been changing cannabis culture since she had her final "Hide the Bong Dance" in 2015.
A career creative, Doreen Sullivan is no amateur when it comes to designing products. Before making vases (ok, bongs) to consume flowers (ok, weed) she was the Founder and CEO of Post No Bills, an award-winning entertainment marketing agency whose superpower was designing and manufacturing products and promotions that created a PR buzz for clients such as DreamWorks, Disney, ESPN, and the US Olympic Committee. The Legacy of Sullivan's career before she entered the Cannabis space is phenomenal from her 1st project, field marketing for the original Dirty Dancing, to five Super Bowls working with ESPN, Sullivan has had once in a lifetime projects, regularly. Now she is here at her 6th Super Bowl, this time representing her own brand, My Bud Vase.
"What a career high it is for me to be back at the Super Bowl with my own Super BOWL!" Doreen laughs at the irony and the journey she passionately creates. "Actually, the real reason I'm here is to work closely with our industry to evolve cannabis culture forward by supporting the rights of NFL athletes with their choice to medicate and heal as they see fit. We are here on a mission to end cannabis probation and we're going to do it in the most beautiful of ways."
Sullivan is no stranger to prohibition as she built her bong biz in a prohibition state. How fortunate for the busy business-woman and single mother of two, constantly concealing her consumption, that her final "hide the bong dance" resulted in her placing her bong amongst her flower vases in her home. It was there she noticed the similar shapes and wondered why she had been smoking out of something so ugly and so phallic; Voila, My Bud Vase was born. With Doreen Sullivan's incredible product development background, she invested in herself, put her agency on hold and obsessed over her discovery; a new way to consume cannabis. Now 3.5 million dollars worth of vase sales later, every piece is developed with intention and given a personality and story. My Bud Vase makes Smoking Cannabis Beautiful from the Signature Collection to the Vintage and Artisan Vases each My Bud Vase is elegantly crafted to bring art, expression and discretion to your cannabis lifestyle.
What started as a fun passion project curating vintage vases and turning them into bongs has now turned into a global (and quite popular) business earning her International Attention and Awards such as Top Bong of Canada and Art Basel Showcases, National Press from Forbes, News- week and Viceland not to mention the celebrities that enjoy the artistry of My Bud Vase (Flava Flav, Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart, Miley Cyrus, The Chain Smokers, Jim Belushi, Amber Rose, Margo Price, Andy Frasco to name a few).
Doreen Sullivan; creative genius, marketing guru, master product developer, cannabis activist, not just the CEO and Founder of 1 company, but 3 (maybe 4... she just can't stop!) She's Creativity in Motion and fun to watch Bloom BIG.
