From Superyachts to Start-Ups…

My journey through marketing, tech, and a diverse range of hospitality roles has shaped a relentless drive for hardwork, creativity and client success.

Running Ascent and personally looking after each of our clients (alongside my fabulous team), serving on the IoD Jersey PR & Marketing sub-committee, and co-founding Island Ticket Hut, keeps me busy – but there’s always room in my schedule for a chat about making your brand unforgettable.

Let’s grab a coffee (or a cocktail)!

Fresh, creative ideas

Working with Lauren at Ascent Creative has been a fantastic experience! Her flexibility and support have been invaluable, and she always brings fresh, creative ideas that perfectly capture our brand’s voice. It’s a pleasure collaborating with her – she feels like part of the team!

– David Parish – Owner, Cheffins and Co-Owner, Bar Levant and Colmar

Results orientated

Having had really bad experiences in the past we were tentative about engaging with a social media business ever again. Along came Lauren/Ascent. They have more than replenished our confidence and we are so very glad to have engaged with them .Professional, pragmatic, think outside the box, original, creative, and results orientated. A real pleasure to work with.

– Mark Taft – Owner, La Bastille & Co-Owner, CILC

Huge asset to our business

We have been very impressed with the work that Lauren at Ascent Creative has done with us over a range of social media, including crafting and editing a variety of high quality content and professionally engaging with individual customers on those platforms. Lauren has been a huge asset to our business.

– David Voisin – Co-Owner, Bar Levant and Colmar

A refreshing, targeted approach

We have been working with Lauren since the start of 2024 and her remit was to assist with improving our social media presence with more creativity and to capture the tone of our brand to communicate our story. She brings a refreshing, targeted approach that is professional and most importantly she delivers. She is a pleasure to work with and is now an important part of the CI Liquor Co team.

– Luke Wheadon – Co-Owner, Channel Islands Liquor Company

Open and personalised approach

Ascent looks after the business’ various social media channels, setting them up and creating & maintaining brand templates to ensure consistent and clear messaging to our customers/clients. Lauren always offers an open, personalised approach, and is keen to learn about the inner workings of the business to discover how she can support it from a service structure perspective as well as the end result of the content produced. I enjoy working with Lauren as I feel treated and considered as an individual (business), rather than part of a client book where we need to fit in a box

– Tim, Founder, Great Plates

Unmatched expertise

I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren, and I can confidently say she is amazing at her job. Her knowledge and expertise in advertising are unmatched, and she consistently delivers fantastic results. Lauren takes the time to understand the unique needs of her clients. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for an advertising professional who goes above and beyond.

Ascent created a beautiful logo and website to launch my new book. It has been a real pleasure to work with Lauren. She took on board everything that I asked, and interpreted my thoughts in a very creative way.

A joy to work with

I have had the pleasure of working with Lauren since before she started Ascent and as soon as she mentioned she would be setting up a company, I immediately signed up. No task seems beyond her capabilities. She maintains a great standard and is a joy to work with.

– Ben Newman – Director, Reasons Festival

Perfect skills match

[Lauren’s/Ascent’s] diverse marketing and hospitality industry background proved to be the perfect skills match to provide us with a market research project on millennial trends. Concise and insightful delivery of the project – highly recommended.

– Dave Dodge, Owner – Vienna Bakery

Exceeded my expectations

“Ascent Creative Solutions has been incredible from start to finish. I needed a digital marketing agency to promote my brand, Boomi Limited, and they came highly recommended. They’ve exceeded my expectations, creating custom posters, flyers, social media graphics, and offering business consulting.

When I learned they also specialize in web design, I brought them on to redesign, develop, and maintain my website, integrating Google Analytics. The team is dynamic, customer-focused, and creates a relaxed, fun working environment. Ascent is crucial to Boomi’s success, and I see them as an extension of my team. I can’t recommend them enough!”

– Kim Vallance, Founder & Director – Boomi

We've seen remarkable growth

Lauren has worked with us and MOSS of the ISLES for over 3 years. In that time, we have not only seen substantial growth in our social media activity and engagement, but also we have been incredibly impressed to see Lauren’s adoption and adaptation of our brand DNA.
It has taken several years to find someone who so eloquently and expertly lifts our online visibility in such a bold and confident way. It has always been important to us that we put our brand and our ethos in the hands of someone we know comes from a place of deep understanding of how brand translates to online interest and traction, and we have found a goldmine in Lauren.

– Nigel Franklyn, Co-Founder – MOSS of the ISLES

Understands exactly what I need

Lauren just understood exactly what I needed and was very adaptive and supportive with what I needed week to week. She really knows her stuff when it comes to writing copy and creating Facebook ads and put my beautiful new website together very quickly! I couldn’t have gotten my new branded website online without her and will always ask her when it comes to online tech help!

– Hannah Jacques , Coach

Highly recommend

I highly recommend Ascent. We were blown away with how accurate Lauren was with what we wanted from the start! This took a big pressure off including timesaving and cutting costs.
