ASCEND AGENCY

Ascend is a marketing firm that focuses on publishing articles to build your brand and tell your story, utilizing a unique in-house developed approach to provide something that no other marketing firm can: guaranteed placements in industry-leading publications, for maximum exposure, at unmatched value. 
We are a true market disruptor, occupying a niche we have carved out through innovation, perseverance, and the belief that there is a better way to do business in our industry.

OUR INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO PAID MEDIA PLACEMENT

Traditionally, PR agencies have a standard quota or a retainer package, with timelines of three-six months for client publication, during which these agencies pitch to established publications, trying to get their clients featured. This approach has become less and less effective as the ratio of agencies to publishers has grown.

Our approach focuses on the publishers - we acknowledge that their time is precious, therefore we pitch for tens or hundreds of advertorial or organic features at once, negotiating bulk prices. Our buying power also allows us to renegotiate disclaimer wording and position across every article, rather than on a per-piece basis, and allows our clients to write content that truly reflects their voice, with reduced editorial oversight or restrictions.

Ultimately this approach makes editors, clients and agencies’ lives easier - in fact, the vast majority of our clients are other agencies that have seen that our way is right for their clients. It is more straightforward, with guaranteed timeframes and outcomes, and more competitive pricing. Our success is supported by repeat business and increasing client spend.
