Escalate joins Pimento – the UK’s leading virtual marketing agency network

Escalate, the multi-award winning dispute resolution platform, has joined the Pimento marketing network as their exclusive dispute resolution support provider to all Pimento members.

Pimento is an independent network of 200 consultants and agencies covering almost every aspect of marketing. Escalate is one of only a few non-marketing providers to be invited to join Pimento.

Escalate helps businesses to achieve a prompt settlement to a wide range of commercial disputes, with fixed fees payable only on a successful outcome and no upfront costs. The Escalate process has won four prestigious national awards: ‘Innovation of the Year’ at the British Accountancy Awards 2017, ‘Best Collaboration Initiative’ at the Lawyer Awards 2018, ‘Excellence in Business Development’ at the Law Society Excellence Awards 2018, and ‘Legal Services Innovation Award’ at The British Legal Awards 2018.

Escalate is already helping businesses – including a number in the marketing sector – to recover more than £50 million that is currently locked up in commercial disputes.

Escalate will help Pimento members in the marketing world to resolve their commercial disputes 

Chris Clay, Managing Director of Escalate, said: “Resolving a commercial dispute has historically been time consuming, costly and risky for claimants, which is why many of them decide to reluctantly write-off what they’re owed. Escalate has helped to put that right.

“We’ve supported a number of marketing agencies with their commercial disputes and developed a strong reputation in the sector. Joining Pimento is therefore an obvious next step.

“We want to help small businesses so that the £40 billion that’s written off each year as bad debt is reduced. In our view, a bad debt is just a commercial dispute that didn’t get resolved.”
