Creative Ascension was a passion project. We value our employees' passions and goals and try to incorporate them in our business wherever possible. We encourage and are impressed with out-of-the-box thinking when attacking challenges and creating new strategies.
Creative Ascension is successful because of the diversity of its counterparts' and clients' lives and educational backgrounds. We believe that a room full of people that look and think differently exponentially grows the number of creative ideas and/or solutions that are possible.
Our industry and today's society are both fast-paced worlds. Our team thrives at this pace and uses it as motivation to exceed in the realms of quality, quantity, and timeliness. We're self-starters that know how to multitask, but also know when to and how we focus best.
If the pandemic surfaced one positive thing, it was work/life balance for much of the workforce. We understand that flexible schedules and working wherever you work best not only helps employees maintain work life balance, but also helps with focus during working hours.
The idea of starting a consulting firm began in 2020, as Colby observed businesses across the globe juggle learning how to simultaneously work remote and continue to grow in a new, almost all-remote market. Then, as businesses began to 'return to normal', they were met with a workforce that had a new taste of work-life balance and wasn't willing to go back to the way things were.
As someone who has held project-related roles with Fortune 500 and 100 companies, as well as #GreatPlaceToWork certified companies, Colby has seen how companies sometimes view employees as merely a means to achieving growth, instead of an included, integrated part of the growth strategy. The 'doers' are the heart of every company and need to be involved when strategizing company growth, but effectively communicating between leadership and the doers can often be difficult.
"So now we're at a place where companies are wanting to continue on their pre-pandemic trajectories in an entirely different world, and we're having employees not willing to give up their mental well-being, but ultimately everyone involved wants the business to expand and become more profitable. I realized I could help with that." - Colby Lucas, President & CEO
In 2022 Colby provided freelance consulting for several small companies that were beginning their entrepreneurial journey on the east coast, focusing on business growth strategy development and brand marketing. In July of 2022 she built the Creative Ascension brand, and in August 2022 Creative Ascension Services, LLC was born.
