Case Study: Ascend Performance Materials achieves company-wide employee communication and engagement with The Marlin Company’s Electronic Communication Station (ECS/ACS)

Reaching Employees Around the Globe

Ascend Performance Materials, a global manufacturer of nylon, plastics and synthetic fibers, needed a reliable way to reach employees across offices, plants and control rooms—especially those who don’t sit at a computer. To replace broadcast email and deliver consistent, branded communications company-wide, Ascend piloted The Marlin Company’s Electronic Communication Station (ACS) with a clear content strategy and rollout plan.

Ascend rolled out ACS after a successful pilot, training local champions, using branded templates, and combining daily workplace content from Marlin with locally produced posts. Screens in high-traffic areas display safety metrics, success stories, employee highlights and calls-to-action; employee surveys show stronger engagement, increased traffic to the intranet, positive feedback and requests for more screens, demonstrating improved reach and communication across the company.
