I met the ESCAL teams during various missions carried out during my current job at Medef as a lobbyist. We were able to discuss and work together, in particular during the installation and animation of a French digital coalition, to act on the transformation of professions. On these various occasions, I greatly appreciated the quality of our discussions and ESCAL's ability to listen and understand. The human qualities of the teams had a lot to do with it.

For a year, ESCAL Consulting brilliantly took care of our media and influencer relations. In a few months, we have become essential with journalists, but also the business and institutional ecosystem. ESCAL managed smart campaigns, including open forums, which received wide coverage in the media, thanks to their impressive hand-help agenda. In addition, ESCAL has been proactive in offering to react to economic and political news, which has earned me frequent visits to the sets. Finally, the Chinese consultant ESCAL organized a press conference during a memorable evening around the Chinese New Year. I can only recommend this agency for its seriousness, its availability, its strike force.

The ESCAL Consulting team was able to quickly understand our activity and our needs, which allowed us to set up a very rigorous working relationship combining efficiency and responsiveness. The various members of the ESCAL Consulting team always intervene in the right way and at the right time: they support us with great professionalism.

If you are a fan of mothballs and dust, if you like anything that is soft and slow, if you are a "tradition lover" and have a deep aversion to all forms of change; If words such as "ultra-responsive, efficient, pragmatic, disruptive, agile" scare you, or even bother you ... then above all, do not choose ESCAL !! Joking aside, it took me several years to finally find the agency we were looking for precisely because not all of the agencies I had met up to now had the same DNA as us. In a year, we have had an almost daily media presence. All the agencies that I had met so far or that I had contracted to accompany us excelled in taking fees, but many; much less in delivering the "promised" job ... ESCAL has delivered much more than I expected, and the pace has never slackened since. They are 200% committed to us and with us. Like us, they were in combat every day, braving the confinements and the many constraints that this funny year 2020 will have imposed on us. The various members of the ESCAL Consulting team always intervene in the right way and at the right time: they support us with great professionalism.

What about my collaboration with ESCAL Consulting for the past 4 years? It's simple, without them we wouldn’t have been where we are today. I am a communication professional and to be able to go from 0 to a 1000 media coverage in the 1st year, I had never seen it before… If we simply take the Med Start up and the CES, essential events for us, ESCAL Consulting has generated more than a 100 press mentions in the biggest American and European media outlets!

We shortlisted the ESCAL consulting agency after studying 4 other offers on the market. Despite the size of the agency and its maturity, the team knows how to show flexibility and agility to adapt to our needs. The team is very professional, attentive and responsive. In terms of results, Escal consulting is able to offer quality visibility on all types of media, thanks to a fine network of journalists.

It has been 3 years since we renew our confidence in ESCAL Consulting. We particularly appreciate their ability to understand and adapt to our industry and specific needs

ESCAL Consulting supported us on a high-stakes global mission: press and public relations, institutional lobbying, and preparation for crisis communication. This mission took place in a very complex context: rebranding from Eon to Uniper, COP 21 and COP 22, implementation of the capacity market by the European Commission, energy transition, Franco-German cooperation, biomass, development plan, support for employees ... The team put in place was able to demonstrate great responsiveness in choosing an efficient strategy and the appropriate tools: setting up a monitoring unit (regulatory, parliamentary, ministerial, etc.), production and mapping analysis, strategic crisis management plan, meetings with presidential candidates, preparation of language elements and communication guidelines with unions, media, influencers, analysts and public authorities. Organization of speeches in target media, and analysis of the impact. I have fond memories of this collaboration: a very professional, dynamic and rigorous agency. The teams are also very friendly and well-trained

Since 2016, we have been accompanied by ESCAL Consulting to develop a differentiating and striking press relations strategy. The agency works with our communication department on the implementation of our relations with the French media and foreign press correspondents in France. The results obtained are constant, of quality and increasing year by year, covering mainstream media (Télé Matin, Le Figaro, Télérama), as well as more specialized publications (History, Beaux-Arts Magazine etc.). 2019 in particular allowed us, in collaboration with the Center-Val de Loire Region, to obtain exceptional coverage to mark the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci. I would like to stress the importance of a quality relationship with management and the operational team; available and responsive. We have full confidence in their recommendations and act together with good intelligence and total transparency.

We worked with Escal Consulting on a PR assignment. They have shown professionalism and managed to get results rapidly. They are very inventive to make you appear in the press. I strongly recommand working with them.

A big thank you to ESCAL Consulting with whom we were able to forge a solid and efficient partnership, which allowed us to benefit from great visibility. Rigor and responsiveness are there, which strengthens our desire to continue our collaboration with them, in view of the results obtained in just 2 months.!
