About a Project
Ascend Agency gives PR agencies and in-house teams a single dashboard to browse a curated catalog of premium publication placements. Filter by price range, region, genre, and metrics like Domain Authority (DA) and Domain Rating (DR), then compare turn-around times, sponsored options, and do-follow status. It turns scattered media lists and spreadsheets into a searchable, professional pricing console so teams can plan campaigns and request access to placements faster.
Project Idea
- One catalog for hundreds of vetted publications with key details in one table.
- Smart filters: search by name; filter by price range, region, genre; sort by price or DA.
- Request full access and export lists for internal planning and client proposals.
Project Challenges
- Fragmented intel—rates and requirements buried in emails and spreadsheets.
- No single source of truth to compare price, DA/DR, region, and TAT.
- Slow discovery of the right mix of reach, niche, and budget.
Results
- Single source of truth for publication placements
- Faster discovery and planning
- Professional pricing console
Business Challenges
Publication rates and requirements were buried in emails, old decks, and spreadsheets. Teams had no single source of truth to compare placements by price, quality (DA/DR), region, and turnaround in one view, and wasted time hunting for the right mix of reach, niche, and budget.
