We’re excited to share that we have joined forces with Mod Op, a leading full-service marketing communications agency. This combination creates a 450+ person company with offices in the United States, Canada, and Panama, further expanding our global reach and capabilities.
The business combination will align our depth in data, marketing technology, and integrated campaign management with Mod Op’s deep capabilities in digital media, web, e-commerce, consulting, experiential marketing, and more. Our team and delivery model will act as a business unit within the combined organization alongside Mod Op’s existing units.
This allows us to continue what we do best—delivering deeper, data-driven, martech-enabled experiences that drive stronger engagement and higher-performing campaigns—while also expanding our capabilities to offer a truly world-class approach to customer engagement across the world.
Despite the expanded scale and service offering, our people-centered ethics and company values remain unchanged. As our founder, Rich Herbst, said, “We founded Ascend with a mission of being a service-centered, people-first partner for our clients. We are thankful to have found a partner organization who shares our same values.”
We are excited about this new chapter and can’t wait to connect along the way.
