In 1987 Alan Stephens Associates Limited was established as a new creative agency in Manchester.

With a strong background in design and pre press production, ASA was well placed to help clients get the most from the rapidly changing technologies which effected advertising and marketing at the time.

Throughout the last 23 years ASA has remained at the leading edge of marketing services. We were early adopters of web based technologies in the mid 1990’s, produced the original SiteBuilder self build web tools in 1998 and have worked continually in technology led marketing services for many blue chip corporate businesses and smaller companies in the UK, Europe and the USA ever since.

During this period we have been listed as part of a  public company but have been back in the private ownership of the original founders since 2001.

We have made many friends and helped many organisations in these 23 years, building an unrivalled NETWORK of expert companies, talented individuals and vast commercial experience.

In 2010 businesses want lean, cost effective solutions to marketing services. They want results from marketing spend and they want their budgets to go further.

Outsourcing marketing and communications to the ASA Network gets businesses the right service, at the right price, at the right time and ensures the best possible return on your investment in business marketing.
