activ Marketing Franchise, a pioneering marketing agency franchise, is set to transform the industry with the launch of its innovative online marketing agency franchise model on 4th November 2024. This launch marks a celebration of the entrepreneurial spirit driving success in franchising across the UK, and positions activ Marketing at the forefront of a new era for marketing consultants.

Since taking over activ Marketing four years ago, Franchisor Katie Bullon has reimagined the business, transforming it into an award-winning franchise that empowers marketing professionals to build and scale their enterprises. Now, as the franchise continues to innovate, activ has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Creative Entrepreneur of the Year at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, with the awards ceremony set to take place on 18th November at Grosvenor House in London.

“activ Marketing is more than just a franchise; it’s a community where marketing consultants—women and men alike—can collaborate, grow, and achieve their full potential,” said Katie Bullon, leader of activ Marketing. “Our new online franchise model is designed to offer comprehensive, practical support that helps consultants navigate the challenges of scaling their businesses, making it easier than ever to succeed.”

The UK franchise industry contributes over £19.1 billion to the economy and continues to grow, with an impressive 89% of franchisees reporting profitability (BFA survey, 2024). activ’s new online franchise model is the first of its kind, extending the offering of the only BFA-approved marketing agency franchise in the UK. While online coaching franchises have become increasingly popular, activ Marketing is pioneering this approach specifically for marketing consultants, offering a comprehensive accelerator programme that includes strategic guidance, support, and hands-on marketing solutions.

Launching on 4th November with a limited 2024 intake at an introductory price, this new model presents a unique opportunity for marketing

professionals to join a groundbreaking initiative and become part of a dynamic and supportive community.

With a focus on innovation, collaboration, and growth, activ Marketing is leading the future of freelance marketing via franchising, creating new pathways for success in the industry.
