In the good old days, you could just phone the executive offices and ask for the president. You didn't get him, but if you got his executive secretary your problems would get resolved in a hurry. I did it with Southern California Edison (1980) K-Mart (2000), and a division of Kodak (2000), as well as numerous small companies. Now, of course, the executives insulate themselves so it's almost impossible to phone the executive offices. But the bottom line is, if you find any way to get their attention like Ed's reader has suggested, it works like a charm! Executives hate being informed of problems, and it's easy for them to say "Fix It!" to subordinates.
