The acquisition maintains the original team behind these websites but incorporates Escalate Media’s resources for the best approach towards future growth and development. Staying true to the original vision while meeting the needs of these ever-growing communities led to this win-win decision.

Expanding our Home & Garden Vertical is an exciting development that increases opportunities for both advertisers and community members. We are looking forward to working with the team behind these websites to further the presence and outreach among home and garden audiences on the web. We also look forward to being an integral part of these communities, in addition to already being longtime fans of these websites.

Welcome LumberJocks, HomeRefurbers, and GardenTenders to the Escalate Media family!
