Paid media that pays back

We run two of the most powerful ad platforms on the planet — and we run them well, because we take time to understand what you actually sell.

Meta Advertising

Facebook and Instagram campaigns built around your customer — creative that stops the scroll, audiences that convert, and budgets managed to the penny.

We put research
before spend

Most agencies launch campaigns on day one. We spend the first week understanding your product, your customers, and your competitors — so every pound has a plan behind it.

01

Industry-first research

Before we write a single ad, we map your market, audit competitors, and identify exactly where your ideal customer spends their attention.

02

No lock-in contracts

Monthly rolling agreements. Stay because we're delivering results — not because you signed something six months ago.

03

UK-focused expertise

We work exclusively with UK businesses. We know the audience, the seasonality, and the nuances that make UK campaigns perform differently.

04

Transparent reporting

Clear, honest monthly reports with the numbers that actually matter to your bottom line — no vanity metrics.

Founder, Ascend Marketing

Hi, I'm Jayden.

"I started Ascend because I was tired of watching great UK businesses get burned by agencies that treated their budgets like play money."

I started this at 20 — not because I thought I knew everything, but because I'd watched too many business owners get sold packages instead of results. I'm not an agency with a team of juniors running your account. When you work with Ascend, you work with me.

I built Ascend on one principle: understand the business before you touch the budget. That means learning your product, your customers, and your margins — before a single ad goes live. I work with e-commerce brands, coaches, and service businesses who are done with agencies that disappear after onboarding.

How it works

Three clear steps. No jargon, no hidden phases, no disappearing after onboarding.

01

Discovery call

30 minutes. We look at your business, your current setup, and what you're trying to achieve. I'll tell you honestly whether paid ads are the right move right now — and if so, what I'd do.

02

Strategy & setup

Before anything goes live, I build the full strategy — audiences, creative direction, budget split, and conversion tracking. You approve everything. Nothing launches without your sign-off.

03

Launch & optimise

Campaigns go live and I actively manage them — testing, trimming spend on what's not working, scaling what is. You get a clear monthly report with the numbers that actually matter.

Who I work best with

  • E-commerce brands with a proven product (£1k+ monthly ad budget)
  • Coaches and course creators ready to scale their audience
  • Service businesses with a clear offer and margin to grow
  • Founders who want honest reporting — not vanity metrics

Not the right fit if…

  • You need results within the first two weeks
  • You want to run ads on a budget under £500/month
  • You're not willing to invest in creative alongside ad spend
  • You're looking for a large agency with a full team of specialists

What it's like to work with me

No fabricated reviews. One retained client. One real relationship — and one genuine testimonial from someone who's been there.

Things people always ask

Straight answers. No fluff.

It depends on what you need. I charge a management fee based on the scope of work — not a percentage of ad spend. That means my incentive is to get you results, not to inflate your budget. We'll talk through pricing on the discovery call once I understand your situation.

I generally recommend a minimum of £1,000/month in ad spend to give campaigns enough data to optimise properly. Below that, the testing phase eats the budget before you can scale what's working. If you're not there yet, I'll tell you — and we can talk about what to do in the meantime.

Paid ads aren't magic — the first 4–6 weeks are usually a testing phase where we're gathering data, finding what resonates, and cutting what doesn't. Months 2–3 are where campaigns typically start performing consistently. I'll set expectations clearly before we start so there are no surprises.

No fixed contracts. I work on a rolling monthly basis. That said, paid ads perform best with consistent management over time — so I'd always recommend committing to at least 3 months to see real results. But you're not locked in.

I'll tell you before we start if I think paid ads won't work for your situation — not after I've taken your money. If campaigns aren't delivering after proper testing and optimisation, we'll have an honest conversation about why and what to do next. I'd rather lose a client than keep one on a service that's not working for them.
