ascension is a boutique marketing strategy practice based in London and operating globally across a wide range of sectors and cultures.


Marketing is locked in a conspiracy of mediocrity

The cartel of global marketing services groups have set marketing’s agenda to serve their own vested executional interests. The resulting scarcity of enterprise, rigour and accountability has diminished marketing in the eyes of both boards and shareholders.

ascension believes passionately that:

Marketing has no value in itself, only to the extent that it creates shareholder value

Independence of ownership and independence from execution are the only guarantees of honest counsel

There are no local markets, only consumers and brands

Clients for whom we have demonstrated our beliefs include Unilever (Axe, Rexona, Dove, Bertolli), InBev (Stella Artois, Brahma, Bass), Sony, easyJet, Ernst & Young and egg.
