We’re thrilled to announce that James Gentle has joined the activ Marketing as our newest consultant-led franchise partner!
Based in Tring, Hertfordshire, James brings a powerful mix of marketing expertise and business coaching experience to the table. He’s worked closely with senior leaders and ambitious businesses who are serious about growth, strategy and real results – which makes him a perfect fit for our franchise model.
Our paths first crossed at Ideas Fest 2024 – and it was clear from the very first conversation that there was something special about James. We knew we were aligned on values, ambition and vision. Fast forward to today, and we’re so excited to officially welcome him on board.
James joined us two weeks ago, attended our recent Annual Franchise Forum, and immediately got stuck in. He was a key contributor throughout the day, sharing valuable insights, asking the right questions and showing genuine support for the rest of the network. There’s no doubt he’s going to bring a huge amount of value – not just to his own clients, but to the wider activ franchise community.
“James is a brilliant addition to activ. He’s got that special mix of strategic thinking and down-to-earth approachability that clients love. We’re so excited to support his journey and already know he’ll play a big role in the network as it grows even further.” – Katie Bullon, CEO, activ Marketing
For James, joining activ just made sense.
“After years of working in marketing and coaching, I wanted to offer more – without building an entire agency from scratch. Meeting the activ team at Ideas Fest last year was the turning point. The structure, the support and the energy of the team felt like the perfect fit. I’m excited to launch, excited to launch and bring much-needed marketing services to the local community” – James Gentle, Franchise Partner, Tring, Hertfordshire
We’re currently working with James on his launch behind the scenes, so keep an eye out – he’ll be going live in the coming weeks!
For now, we’re just buzzing to have James onboard. He’s got the drive, the expertise and the mindset to make a real impact, and we can’t wait to see where this new chapter takes him.
