Our Core Values

Partnership Mentality

When you work with Ascend AI Marketing, you're not just hiring an agency – you're gaining a partner.

Tech Passion with a Business Focus

We are not just a code monkey – We're business growth enthusiasts. Our tech geekery is always in service of your bottom line.

Crystal-Clear Communication

Jargon is our arch-nemesis. We translate complex digital concepts into plain English faster than you can say "SEO."

Honesty is Our Default Setting

We believe in straight talk, no fluff. If something's not working, we won't sugarcoat it. We'll serve up honest advice and realistic goals, even if it's not what you want to hear.

Constant Evolution

The digital world moves fast, and so do we. We're always leveling up our skills, staying ahead of trends, and finding new ways to give your business an edge.

Results-Driven Approach

We're not satisfied with just "doing marketing." We're here to move the needle for your business.

Our Story

Picture this: It’s 1998, and while other kids are trading Pokémon cards, our founder Mark is glued to a computer screen, turning strings of code into actual websites. Why? Because his uncle convinced him the internet was going to be kind of a big deal. Spoiler alert: He was right.

Our first “client”? Mark’s grandpa’s tax company. Seeing his grandfather’s face light up when that website went live – that was it. Mark was hooked. And so were we, because that moment sparked a journey that would lead us to where we are today.
