We’re Ascend Media
This Is Where Your Story Begins
We're Josh & Emily
A husband-and-wife team passionate about Northern Colorado and the businesses that make it thrive.
When You Know, You Know
We met in Northern Colorado and were married in less than a year. People said we were crazy—but when you know, you know, right? That same instinct drives how we approach our work: trusting our gut, moving with intention, and pouring our whole hearts into everything we create.
Now we're building a life here together—two kids under two, a business we believe in, and deep roots in a community we love. When you live in the most amazing place in the world, you can't help but want to capture it.
That's why we started Ascend Media. We wanted to help the businesses that make Northern Colorado special share their stories with the people who need to hear them. From Fort Collins startups to established companies across the Front Range, we've had the privilege of telling stories that matter.
More Than Just Video
We believe every business has a story worth telling. Not a sales pitch—a real story. One that answers the questions your customers are actually asking: What problem do you solve? How will my life be better? Why should I trust you?
Great video doesn't just look professional. It connects. It makes people feel something. It invites your audience into something bigger than a transaction. That's the kind of video we're here to make.
We're not interested in churning out content for content's sake. We want to understand your business, your customers, and your goals—then craft something that actually moves the needle.
What It's Like to Work With Us
We keep things simple. No complicated processes, no industry jargon, no surprises. Just honest conversations about what you need and how we can help you get there.
When we show up on shoot day, we bring positive energy, professional equipment, and a clear plan. We make the experience easy—even fun. And we deliver on time, every time.
But don't just take our word for it. Our clients tell us we're honest, trustworthy, and genuinely good people to work with. That means as much to us as any creative award ever could.
How We Think About Storytelling
Every project we take on starts with three questions:
-
Before we pick up a camera, we need to understand the people you're trying to reach. What are they struggling with? What are they searching for?
-
Your business exists to solve a problem. We help you communicate that solution clearly and compellingly—no fluff, no filler.
-
This is where the magic happens. We paint a picture of the transformation your customers experience. That's what gets people to act.
Proud to Be Part of Northern Colorado
We love this community. The local businesses, the mountain views, the people who choose to build their lives here. Every project we take on is a chance to celebrate what makes Northern Colorado special.
We've been honored to work with organizations across the region—from the Town of Timnath to local restaurants and health practices to national brands with Colorado roots. Each project teaches us something new about the incredible businesses and people in our backyard.
