About Ascend
Studio Ascend's approach: turn social media into a customer acquisition engine. We specialize in organic and paid media on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Substack. Not only do we know how to go viral, but also how to make it pay off.
At 17, Brianna Pham started a viral art business. While at NYU Stern, she worked with the McKinsey & Company social team and Simplify (YC W21). In 2025, she earned her B.S. in Business & Political Economy and launched Studio Ascend upon graduation.
Since then, we've taken a client from 0 to 1,000 TikTok followers in 3 months, written Substack blogs for a16z, and 3xed a client's LinkedIn impressions to 400k+ in 1 month…and converted into booked demos.
Why 'Ascend'? The name 'Brianna' means 'she ascends.'
