I'm Joshua Munoz. Fractional CMO, Digital Strategist, and Founder of Ascend CRM.

For over a decade, I’ve helped 6- and 7-figure business owners grow through smarter marketing, streamlined systems, and strategic execution. Along the way, I kept hearing the same pain points: “Our CRM is outdated and clunky.” “We’re using too many disconnected tools.” “Marketing feels like guesswork, and we’re spending too much just to stay afloat.”

As a dad and business owner, I understand the need for simplicity, clarity, and results. That’s why I built Ascend CRM an all-in-one platform that bridges the gap between strategy and execution so you can grow your business with confidence, visibility, and ease.

But tech alone doesn’t drive growth. That’s where my Fractional CMO work comes in. I partner with service-based businesses to launch high-converting Meta ads, build scalable marketing systems, and develop growth strategies that actually move the needle.

If you’re tired of duct-taping your marketing together and are ready for clarity, simplicity, and scale, you're in the right place.

Let’s grow smarter, not harder.
