About us
A marketing team built by people who've sat on your side of the table.
Ascend Group is based in Burgess Hill and works with businesses across the UK. We keep teams small, senior and accountable — you'll always know the name of the person running your account.
Our story
Ten years of doing the unglamorous work properly.
We started as two people and a spreadsheet, frustrated by agencies that optimised for retainers instead of results. A decade on, we're still structured the same way: senior people, close to the work, judged on numbers your finance director recognises.
Today we work with UK manufacturers, retailers, and B2B service firms who need marketing that survives contact with a board meeting — not just a monthly slide deck.
How we operate
Four principles we don't compromise on.
Senior, always
No graduates learning on your budget. Every account is led by someone with 5+ years in-channel.
Plain-English reporting
Monthly reviews built around revenue and leads, not impressions and vanity dashboards.
A clear minimum term
Rolling 3 months' contract agreement, minimum term. After that, we earn the next month.

Careers
We hire rarely, and we hire senior.
There are no open roles listed at the moment. If you have led SEO, paid media, content or web work for UK clients and want a conversation, send a short note via the contact form and mention the channel you want to own.
