"I have two words: A - MAZING!!!! Seriously, it is gorgeous from cover to cover. Great looking, designed beautifully, rich with content and useful information, well sorted and easy to read exhibitor directory. This team deserves a huge (& hefty!) congratulations! You’ve delivered everything we discussed. I am sure I speak for my colleagues and all of the exhibitors in Las Vegas in saying... I am really proud of this media product and believe it’ll provide tremendous value to our attendees and advertisers. Thanks for raising the bar and all of your hard work!”

"Dear Barbara,

Following the wonderful meeting we had in Dallas with our respective teams, I wanted to take this opportunity to expand on how pleased I am with Ascend’s customer service and innovativeness throughout all our products.

Like every business around the world, American Heart Association’s focus is our customers.  To this end, Ascend is 100% in step with us.  Whether the customer is our attendee, exhibitor, internal client, patient or someone new who we haven’t thought of yet, Ascend treats them like their customer too.

From Ascend’s internal processes which help us stay on track and make our staff more effective to the understanding of our priorities, the contributions Ascend makes to our continued success are demonstrative and meaningful.  Ascend goes well beyond every day tasks to create opportunity in nuances and pathways to the future.  Ascend’s ongoing study of our attendee meeting information is a unique and welcome attribute of a supplier.  
 
Over the last year, it has been a special privilege watching the Sessions365 site come to life.  Ascend has once again demonstrated that it is on the cutting edge of the industry.  The Sessions365 site is better than some AHA sites which have been around for years!  eMedia has become such a strong initiative within Ascend and we are very appreciative of the effort.  We are extremely excited about the new mobile projects, the snap tag offerings and the data collection under consideration.  It seems like every day, the Ascend staff is communicating new and unique products to assist us in reaching our audiences.

Finally, I would be remiss if I did not thank you for your support and active participation in all the AHA/Ascend strategy development and execution, as well as our ongoing brainstorming from an executive level.  Your involvement as President provides us with a sense of importance and priority which we truly appreciate.  Ascend provides the AHA with the most seasoned team of any of our suppliers and their experience is noticed, noted and invaluable.  Your team exhibits nimbleness, creativity, flexibility, accuracy, organization, self-awareness and professionalism, all combined with dynamic personalities and great senses of humor.
At the risk of sounding cliché, but the sentiment is sincere, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Sincerely,"

 

Leigh Ann Stockard, CMP Vice President, Meetings - American Heart Association

“The combination of the e-newsletter request and the reader’s forward thinking and compassion did in one night what would have taken us several weeks to generate. What an amazing outpouring of support that will make a huge impact on the lives of our residents!”

Sara Rowden – Director of Development & Communications - Save, Inc - Regarding their eNewsletter

“I have worked with Ascend for several years now, and the sales team always goes the extra mile to exceed my expectations and budgeted ad revenue.

They are so great to work with! We brainstorm on a regular basis to either come up with new products or improve the existing ones. It’s that kind of teamwork that makes Ascend so valuable. I look forward to continuing our successful partnership for many years to come.”

"OMG!!! Y'all rock!!!!! I have really enjoyed working with each of you as well and can't wait to do it again next year!"

"We had an amazing experience advertising with Ascend Integrated Media in the Stylemax show guide!
Being new to the show, we were very impressed with the impact that placing an ad had on our brand awareness!
We had so many buyers come to our booth to see what all the buzz was about. The success (sales) of our first show spoke for itself.

Ascend Integrated Media is really on top of their game; Lee Harmon is so helpful. I had many questions and Lee was always available to support us.

We will definitely continue to advertise in the Stylemax show guide. Now our buyers look for our ad spot in the guide to easily find our booth, and to see what product we are featuring. The quality and performance of Ascend Integrated Media is unmatched.

We advertise in many other show guides, and by far, Ascend Integrated Media is the consistent one that continues to surpass our expectations.

I would strongly recommend that anyone who is wondering how successful an ad in the Stylemax show guide is, to try it. You will not be disappointed!"

"I am really pleased that Ascend Integrated Media was recognized in this way for your outstanding work on the prospectus!  It really was an impressive piece. Congratulations and thanks again for your continued partnership!"

"We’re so pleased with how well the Annual Meeting news project is going, and look forward to it’s continuing to gain more traction with members and advertisers going forward.  Not sure if you have heard, but our pre-registration numbers are looking like we may beat San Francisco (our previous record city!) and I firmly believe at least some of that has to do with the increased marketing efforts focused on this meeting, including the e-newsletter.  We really appreciate what a great partner Ascend has been."
