This is more than just a great day out. It is a powerful opportunity to connect, reflect and plan your next move with expert support.
Why Katie Is Taking the Stage
When Katie took over activ in 2021, she stepped into more than just a business. She stepped into a mission.
Her goal was to make marketing franchising smarter, faster and genuinely supportive for people who want to build something of their own.
Since then, she has led the activ Marketing Franchise into a new era. One that empowers everyday entrepreneurs to launch their own marketing business with real backing, built-in systems and a strategy-first approach.
At Ideas Fest, often called the ‘Glastonbury of business’, Katie will share that vision live on stage. She will join the Elite Franchise Live panel alongside names like Pip Wilkins, CEO of The British Franchise Association, to talk about why franchising deserves a bigger voice in the business world.

Franchise Your Freedom: Be in Business for Yourself, Not by Yourself
Katie will also be sharing one of the most powerful benefits of the activ franchise model. How our franchise partners save over 45 hours every month.
That is time to focus on clients. Time to spend with family. Time to actually run a business without getting buried in admin or learning everything from scratch.
At activ, we believe in building businesses the smart way. We provide the systems, strategy and support you need from day one.
Why We’re Going to Ideas Fest
Ideas Fest is not your typical business event. It is an outdoor, high-energy festival for founders, creatives and entrepreneurs who think big and act boldly. It is about fresh ideas, honest conversations and building meaningful connections in a space that encourages inspiration.
For activ, it is the perfect environment to talk about franchising differently. We are here to show how the right franchise model can give you flexibility, purpose and growth without doing it all alone.
If you are curious about launching your own marketing business, come and find us.
