Ascend has been honored as PR & Communications - PR Agency of the Year, a recognition of their innovative strategies and outstanding achievements in the industry.
In an age where reputation is key, a successful PR agency plays a pivotal role in shaping how brands connect with their audience. It’s not just about managing crises or securing media coverage; it’s about creating compelling stories that resonate and drive engagement. The title of PR Agency of the Year is awarded to those who excel in understanding the nuances of communication, building trust, and delivering innovative solutions that keep clients at the forefront of their industries. Success in PR comes from the ability to stay ahead, adapt, and craft narratives that leave a lasting impact.
Ascend is a marketing firm that specializes in elevating brand presence through the strategic publication of articles, using a proprietary approach that guarantees placement in leading industry publications. This exclusive method not only ensures maximum exposure but also offers unparalleled value. As a trailblazer in their field, Ascend has carved out a distinct niche through innovation, persistence, and a commitment to redefining how business is conducted in the marketing world.
PR agencies have typically operated on a model involving standard quotas or retainer packages, often spanning three to six months. During this time, agencies actively pitch their clients to established publications and editors, seeking coveted features. However, as competition for editorial attention intensifies, both costs and waiting periods for clients have surged, all while offering no certainty of securing placements.
Ascend's strategy recognizes the value of publisher time, opting to pitch dozens or even hundreds of advertorial and organic features simultaneously, securing bulk pricing deals. This buying power enables them to negotiate details like disclaimer wording and article placement collectively, rather than one piece at a time. As a result, their clients—often other PR and advertising agencies—gain more creative control, allowing them to craft content that authentically represents their clients' voices with fewer editorial limitations or restrictions.
Thanks to their innovative strategy, Ascend offers clients far shorter, guaranteed publication times, often within two weeks. This unique approach, paired with competitive pricing, provides a level of convenience that surpasses traditional methods. Their excellent performance and ability to consistently deliver exceptional results have rightfully earned them an award, a testament to their expertise and impressive work in the industry.
With their forward-thinking approach, Ascend has mastered the ability to offer clients significantly shorter and guaranteed publication times, often achieving placements in as little as two weeks. By combining innovation with competitive pricing, they provide a level of convenience and efficiency that outshines traditional PR methods. This impressive model allows clients to benefit from a streamlined process that delivers real value and impactful results. Their exceptional work and commitment to excellence have been rightfully recognized with a Platinum award at the 2024 TITAN Business Awards, a testament to their expertise and brilliant performance in transforming the PR landscape.
