Salary benchmarks
Our take
Ascentia dates back to 1887 when it was founded as a newspaper investment company in the north of England. Its shift into business analysis and optimisation can be traced to its acquisition of Glenigan, a provider of leads and information for the construction industry in 1996. This move has evolved into an umbrella of companies which are today listed on the London Stock Exchange and the FTSE 250 Index.
After selling off many of its newspaper subsidiaries between the 90s and the 00s, Ascential utilised its catalogue of business insight to expand into events, commerce, marketing, and retail, owning dozens of businesses that provide information on and help businesses grow.
Ascential continues to grow internationally. With much the same intuition as when it evolved its magazine sector to capitalise on newspaper printing downtimes in the 50s, Ascential invested in Berlin and Singapore-based eCommerce and analytics startups in 2022. It has proven that despite being a legacy company, it still has its ear to the ground to elevate the next generation of digital media and marketing tools.
