Looking to advertise something other than a job
We don’t currently offer advertising / promotional services other than those offered in our Employers Zone. In due course we will be offering ways to promote additional products / services. If you have something that you think is a good fit for the Esc audience please email us at team[@]escapethecity.org
Looking to work for Escape the City
We’re really flattered by the amount of people who are interested in working for Escape the City itself! Unfortunately we’re a small team and plan to keep it that way for now. We’ll be sure to advertise our own opportunities on the site when we have them.
In the meantime, if you’re looking to get more involved with the concept the best way to do this is to join your local Esc meet-up (or create one if it doesn’t exist!).

Looking to bring Escape the City to my city / country
Esc was born in London but the sentiment behind the concept is truly international. We want to help people all over the world. If you want to get involved with Esc where you live the best thing for now is to join / start your local Esc meet-up.
For the time being we aren’t intending on expanding a full-time Esc presence to countries outside of the UK and the US (no franchises or salaried jobs – sorry). However, watch this space for a fuller Escape the City service near you soon!

Looking to meet like-minded people
One of the main things Esc does is connect you with like-minded people. There are lots of ways we can do this (and we are building more). Online: it’s all about our Connections Zone. Offline: get involved with an Esc Meet-up near you.

Looking for a business partner
We have had some really exciting successes connecting people for business partnerships and start-ups. If you’re looking for someone to join you for your venture (or just to bounce ideas around) please post up a Connection (it’s free). Interested people will then contact you via email.

Looking to promote my event
If your event is relevant to the Esc audience then we would be happy to help you promote it. In due course we’re intending on building a specific Events Zone however for now please use Connections to share your event’s details.

Looking to coach your members
