Are you a small business owner, freelancer or entrepreneur in Staffordshire or Cheshire?

Do you feel stuck with your business and marketing?
We will help you finish the year strong, start 2026 with clarity, and make a positive impact while doing it.

Join us in less than 2 weeks at The Space in Congleton for a brilliant business and marketing planning session - FINISH THE YEAR STRONG AND START 2026 STRONGER

Tickets are £25 and all proceeds go to the charity Visyon.

FINISH STRONG, START STRONGER
📅 3rd December, 9:30am-12pm
📍The Space, Congleton

Plus – A Christmas Gifting Session
We’re turning this event into a celebration of community and giving.
Every business is invited to bring:
A voucher or service they can gift (e.g. social media audit, coaching session, pet portrait, HR review)
Or products to sell or gift (cards, skincare, festive treats, etc.)
We’ll feature all items on our ‘Gift of Giving’ table and Pop Up Area — so when we thank our clients this year, we do it by supporting each other.

You’ll step out of the daily noise to reflect, reset, and design a 90-day plan that helps you finish the year calm, clear, and in control — and start 2026 stronger.

Here’s an insight into how we help e-commerce clients grow 🌱

We support London jewellery brand GeMMs & Co. with marketing strategy and campaign advice each month. (Providing the team with the feedback and focus they need to achieve their goals and use their skills effectively).

Having worked with them on their initial strategy and branding at the beginning of 2023, we’ve seen them develop a beautiful collection of sentimental jewellery which is now sold internationally. They have recently developed their own collection of unique jewellery which truly matches their brand story. We're pleased to say that this collection has been their biggest success to date.

As well as advising with strategy, Anya supports their team with their e-commerce website content, navigation and SEO which continues to provided positive results.

Here’s what they said:
“I can't speak highly enough about Anya's exceptional assistance...Anya's dedication and reliability have made a significant impact on our website's success.
Her ideas have consistently been innovative and effective, propelling us forward in exciting ways. She's a true problem solver, always finding solutions to challenges that arise.
Her reliability stands out as a defining trait. Whenever we've needed her assistance, she's been there with a proactive and positive attitude. We've come to trust her insights and recommendations implicitly.
Without hesitation, I highly recommend Anya to anyone seeking assistance with their website. Her reliability, expertise, and willingness to go above and beyond make her an indispensable resource. We're incredibly fortunate to have her on our team.”

Do you think about your target market when carrying out marketing activities? 🎯

It’s best practice to do so and will lead to improved results.

Think about the following:
Who are they? What do they do? What are their pain points and how does your product/service help solve that?

Being clear on your target market helps make your marketing activities easier and more focussed.

Even better, segment your target audience. 📊 This way you’ll able to decide what content goes where and even create customised content for that segment. You might also decide to spend more time and money on particular segment.

Did you know we’re a marketing consultancy?

We’ve been a bit quiet on here lately, so here’s a little re-introduction for you.

👋 We are Ascend - a marketing consultancy based in Alsager, Cheshire. We help Directors and marketing teams grow their business by offering outsourced marketing support.

How is that different from a typical marketing agency you might ask? Well, we focus on strategy, coaching, training and implementation. Think of us as your extended marketing team and advisors, with an honest, supportive and creative approach.

We'll try and keep this succinct, so here’s what you should know about us…

👩‍💻 👩‍💻 We are a team of 2 professional marketers - Anya and Debbie - with 26 years experience between us. Anya focusses on strategy, coaching and implementation whilst Debbie focusses on coaching and training. We also collaborate with 8 trusted partners who specialise in different areas of marketing - from SEO to photography.

💜 We’re passionate marketers and love what we do! We especially enjoy working with ambitious business owners to help make their marketing budget work harder and smarter, giving them and their team the guidance and support they need.

🚀 Our super power is identifying the important elements of marketing for business growth, and we work on implementing these for many clients. It’s never a one-size fits all approach and we love the variety our work brings. So one day you’ll find us replying to customer reviews, then the next sketching out ideas for a campaign and putting a schedule together.

If you’ve read this far, thanks!

Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone and try something new with your marketing? ✨

Keeping up with all the latest trends isn't always the best solution.
New shiny things may cause distraction and take up A LOT of your time! Yes, that includes social media and using AI tools. You need to focus on what is really important to your business and create a solid marketing plan.

Only then can you really begin to explore and introduce new ways of doing things (whether it's trending or not).

We are here to help you step out of your comfort zone and make the BEST next step.

We've been busy wrapping up (no, not Christmas presents) the final week of the Marketing and Business Bootcamp and focussing on marketing planning for 2024 🙌

Thank you to those who attended the course.
Our 1-2-1s for the final week of the Bootcamp with ABOVO Marketing were a great success! 💻

These were really beneficial to business owners on the course because we were able to review the marketing plans and activities they had developed during the 5 weeks. We also suggested changes which will them improve their effectiveness with the resources and budget available.

Here’s what Louise from Flourish Administration said: “Really informative course, great knowledge for any business that needs help with their marketing plan.”

We’ll be running new courses in the new year, so watch this space.
