Well, ‘We’ is actually ‘I’.

Hi, I’m Laura — founder of ASCEND Social and a lifelong believer in the power of health, movement, and mindset.

Before I ever stepped into the world of marketing, I spent my childhood as a professional swimmer, competing nationally from the age of 12 to 17. With 4am training starts and weekends spent travelling the country and even representing England in talent camps - discipline, dedication, and wellness became second nature to me. That experience didn’t just shape my lifestyle; it shaped who I am.

With a degree in Business and Marketing and a career in fast-moving consumer goods, I’ve spent the last three years immersed in brand and shopper marketing. I’ve seen how powerful strategy and storytelling can be, but I also know that for small health and fitness businesses, time is tight, and social media can feel like a full-time job.

I started ASCEND Social to help small (or big), passionate businesses in the health and fitness space grow their presence, tell their story, and connect with their community, without the overwhelm. Whether you're running a gym, launching a wellness product, or sharing your expertise in nutrition or Pilates (a personal love of mine!), I’m here to help you scale your socials and build something meaningful.

What makes me different?

I live and understand the world my clients operate in. With a background in elite sport and a lifelong passion for health, fitness, and nutrition, I bring genuine insight into the mindset of your audience. And while I’ve got the hands-on experience from working alongside leading media and marketing teams, I also know what it means to show up consistently, whether it’s for a gym session, a content plan, or your business goals. I’m all about the balance: the grind, the growth, and the time to pause (hello, spa day). I’m not just here to manage your socials, I’m here to help your brand rise.
