About

Give your brand wings. Rise above the sea of sameness. Meaningfully connect with your audiences. Convince them to buy your product. Support your cause. Attend your event. Most of all, make them a raving fan. Put the lessons learned since our founding in 1989 to work for you. Quickly.

Marketing that rises to the top
From our location in the Air Capital of the World we work with some of the world’s leading aviation companies. We know the products – and the customers. From the pilot in the left seat to the CEO in the cabin. We attend the tradeshows, but we also talk to the people in the field. Who train the pilots. Service the planes. Sell the aircraft.

Our Ascend branding process guides the insights, creative and plans that truly engage your audiences. Working with you, we go through a series of fun-but-instructive interactive exercises. For one, we create target personas to zero in on who we’re talking to, understand their motivators and where we’re most likely to connect – mobile, outdoor, online, broadcast, print, events? We maximize those points of relevance with strategic creative second to none.

Moving both hearts and minds
We don’t believe in silos or in isolated departments. Within our marketing mix, we offer PR integrated into the fuller strategy. Whether you’re needing to get important news out fast, increase your share of voice, develop a crisis management plan, create a speakers bureau, strengthen media relations (whether with print and broadcast journalists or leading bloggers), or launch a major event; we’re your team. Nimble. Responsive. And solutions oriented.

Working for good
Our aviation expertise translates to other industries. In addition to our growing roster of aviation clients, we support a range of causes and clients, from healthcare and children’s issues to tourism and government. That diversity keeps us fresh – and helps us make a difference.

You might find us helping roll out a new community hospital or cutting-edge robotic surgery option. Promoting the state’s largest event – the Kansas State Fair – connecting with younger, more urban audiences while maintaining strong bonds with longtime, diehard rural attendees. Working with city planners and architects to brand a new terminal for the region’s largest airport. Developing large-scale environmental projects such as the Keeper of the Plains plaza at the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas Rivers. Assisting with efforts to protect the well-being of children.

We’re not just about the work. We’re about the results. And those include making tomorrow better than today.
