Written by John Himics, President of First Ascent Design
First Ascent Design, an award-winning digital marketing agency in Downtown Wilmington, has moved to a spacious office at 605 N. Market Street. It’s an exciting return to our origins. This address is more than just an office to us; it is a homecoming.
We kicked off our journey eight years ago when this space was the coIN Loft coworking space, and now we’re back, stronger and bigger, with a team of 20 dedicated professionals. Our agency is entering a new era of growth and success, just like Downtown Wilmington.
Wilmington’s steadfast support for startups and small businesses has led to an energetic and diverse economic scene. The city’s growth mirrors our agency’s expansion, and we couldn’t be happier. We’re not just growing in Wilmington; we’re growing with Wilmington.
Our Journey: From a Humble Startup to a Thriving Agency
From our beginning in 2015, we were supported by the local community. We started our journey with the guidance of respected Wilmington entrepreneurs. I’m proud to now have worked with and alongside many members of that community. Among our diverse clientele are notable institutions like Delaware State University, Goodwill of Delaware and Delaware County, the Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement, Coalition for a Safer Delaware, Cancer Support Community Delaware, and the Buccini/Pollin Group. We cater to a diverse range of clients, bringing cross-industry experience and an adaptable and versatile team to meet our clients’ needs.
I couldn’t have built this agency anywhere else, but Wilmington and we’re all proud to be in this community. Thank you to all that have supported us over the years!
