Who I help

I know service businesses.

Marketing a therapist isn't the same as marketing a photographer. A wellness practice doesn't sell the same way a creative studio does. Your marketing needs to understand the business behind the brand.

The Ascendent approach

Marketing works better when it works together.

Your website shouldn't exist over here.

Your social media over there.

Your ads somewhere else.

And your blog quietly collecting dust.

Growth marketing connects the dots.

We figure out what your business needs, decide where your marketing dollars and energy are best spent, and build the pieces around a strategy—not the other way around.

What I do

What can we build together?

There isn't a magic marketing checklist. There is, however, a right combination of strategy, channels, content, and creative for your particular business.

STORY

STORY
MATTERS
The story matters

Before I learned marketing, I learned how to tell a story.

I spent 15 years as a journalist.

That means I learned how to ask better questions. Find the interesting angle. Make complicated ideas understandable. Talk to people. Research. Write. Edit. And—perhaps most importantly—figure out what makes someone care.

Those skills became the foundation of how I approach marketing today.

Because good marketing isn't just about getting your business in front of people.

It's about giving them a reason to pay attention.

Meet the strategist

Hi. I'm Jessica.

I'm the strategist, writer, marketer, and occasional professional overthinker behind Ascendent Growth Co.

After 15 years in journalism and years spent building marketing strategies for service-based businesses, I realized something:

Most small businesses don't need more marketing people telling them what they should be doing.

They need someone who can look at everything they're already doing, figure out what's working, figure out what's not, and build a smarter path forward.

That's what I do.

I bring strategy, storytelling, creative thinking, and a healthy amount of "okay, but why are we doing it this way?" to every project.
