A Florida-based advertising firm, UO Solutions, has filed a lawsuit against three companies controlled by the company known as Cookies. While the exact amount of the bill is not disclosed, UO Solutions states that it exceeds $75,000. The complaint filed by UO Solutions outlines the professional services it provides to clients, including the creation, development, and execution of advertising campaigns and search engine optimization strategies. The companies being sued by UO Solutions are Oregon-based CKS Seeds LLC, North Carolina-based CKSHO LLC, and California’s PCS Services LLC.
According to the complaint, the group of companies signed a contract in March 2024 for advertising services with UO Solutions. The firm claims that it hired employees to manage the clients, prepared advertisement content, developed advertising and marketing campaigns, and created strategies for search engine optimization. Despite repeated demands for payment, the companies allegedly refused to settle the bill, leading UO Solutions to take legal action.
In the lawsuit, UO Solutions is seeking damages, pre-judgment interest, and post-judgment interest at the maximum rate allowed by law. The attached contract for the services outlines the specific services provided to each company, with monthly charges ranging from $12,625 to $27,125. The minimum term of the agreement was set at three months.
Cookies, the company controlling the three entities being sued, has been embroiled in various legal disputes. SeedJunky, a California-based company, recently dropped a breach of contract lawsuit against Cookies after a year of litigation. The lawsuit alleged that Cookies and its top officials, including rapper Berner, had unlawfully used valuable cannabis genetics from SeedJunky to boost the Cookies brand. Despite the legal challenges, Cookies has continued to thrive in the cannabis industry, securing a valuation of $1 billion and being recognized as one of America’s Hottest Brands of 2021 by AdAge.
In conclusion, the lawsuit filed by UO Solutions against the companies controlled by Cookies sheds light on the complexities and challenges faced in the advertising and cannabis industries. As legal proceedings unfold, the outcome of the case will have implications for all parties involved and may impact the future business operations of the companies in question.
