Will & Mac
We started Ascend in college after seeing firsthand how our generation wanted to be heard—and how companies need Gen-Z insights more than ever. We see every day how quickly consumer companies fall behind so we work hand in hand to make sure our long standing clients, like Mike here, and new teams like yours stay ahead.
