Ashton Media is a B2B Foodservice + Hospitality media company - and the most affordable B2B media partner in the industry. Built from 36+ years working alongside thousands of operators across Canada and the U.S., we build podcasts, publications, summits and events that connect brands, associations and companies with chefs, operators and decision-makers. Our goal is simple: earn your business and prove you can advertise and build your brand without the worry of it costing too much. We've got the reach, we've got the content, and we connect in a variety of ways to put you in front of the people who matter. We're different.
We exist to support brands, associations and companies that want to grow inside - or connect closer to - foodservice and hospitality. Through trusted storytelling, real audience reach, and partnerships that put your brand in front of the right rooms.
From The Late Night Restaurant Podcast and our newsletter network of 10,000+ readers, to national summits and the Restaurant Hall of Fame Awards, every channel is built on transparent reporting, verified analytics and measurable results.
