Blogs, tips and updates!

REGISTER for these webinars if you want to run a successful marketing business in 2026!

If you are running a solo marketing business, freelancing, or still employed but want the freedom of self employment, you need to know what we know!

You know marketing. You know what you are doing. You deliver good work. But growth feels capped, time feels squeezed, and too much of the business relies on you holding everything together.

That is exactly why our CEO Katie Bullon is hosting two FREE live webinars this month. These sessions are designed for experienced marketers who want to build a profitable, scalable marketing business without burnout, income ceilings or constant pressure.

These webinars run twice ONLY, so you can choose the time that suits you best.

Wednesday 8 January at 8pm
Wednesday 5 February at 12.30pm

Places are limited and pre-registration is required. A space on this webinar gives you automatic access to the waitlist for our next franchise intake – dropping 23rd January, for intake February 2026. We have only 5 spaces available for people who want to scale their business and launch this quarter.

 

Why so many marketing businesses get stuck

Many people who explore the activ marketing franchise are not beginners. They are capable marketers who feel trapped by the structure they are working within.

The most common challenges we see are familiar to many experienced marketers. An income ceiling that refuses to shift, long hours spilling into evenings and weekends, and the constant mental load of doing everything yourself.

There is often tech overwhelm, systems that do not quite work together, inconsistent cash flow, and no clear route to scale beyond five to ten clients without sacrificing quality or sanity.

These challenges are not caused by a lack of skill or ambition. They come from trying to grow alone, without the systems, support and strategic direction needed to scale sustainably.

A model built around clarity, capacity and support

activ marketing was built specifically to solve these problems.

Through our marketing agency franchise, partners operate within a proven structure that creates freedom rather than restriction. At the centre of this model is SoloPower™, our franchise-side framework designed to bring clarity around direction and decision making, expand capacity without adding pressure, and remove the isolation that so many business owners experience.

SoloPower™ is not about working harder. It is about giving people the right structure, tools and support so they can grow with confidence and sustainability.

 

Evidence, not promises

During the webinar, we will share real evidence from across the activ marketing network. You will see real evidence from across the activ marketing network.

We will share how franchise partners typically save over 45 hours every month, how Kora, our AI employee, supports an additional ten to twenty hours of reclaimed time, and how partners avoid traditional agency setup costs of between £7,000 and £16,000. Many earn back their franchise fee within months.

Most importantly, you will see how partners scale beyond the five to ten client ceiling while still protecting quality and work life balance.

activ marketing is ranked among the top 100 UK franchises, meaning we are a UK top 10% franchise!

We operate as a BFA approved, award winning business. This is not a theory. It is how the model works in practice.

 

Business In A Box, without the guesswork

The activ Marketing franchise is designed as a complete Business In A Box, created specifically for franchise recruitment.

Partners receive a complete Business In A Box. This includes a full service marketing offer, clear pricing frameworks, contracts and templates, a professionally built website, access to our bespoke activ Flow CRM system, delivery structure, monthly marketing direction, client plans and done for you acquisition campaigns.

Everything exists to reduce risk, remove guesswork and allow partners to focus on leadership, growth and client relationships.

Who these webinars are for

 

These webinars are for people who want clarity around their future within their marketing business. 

They are suited to people running solo businesses, freelancing, or leading small agencies who feel capped by time, income or capacity, but still value independence, ownership and community. They are also for people who want to leap into self employment this year, but in a safe, secure and supported way. 

There is no pressure and no hard sell. The purpose is to provide clarity, insight and perspective – we want to work with talented individuals that understand the strength they can have with us rather than launching alone. 

What you will gain from attending

By the end of the webinar, you will understand why most solo marketing businesses struggle to scale, how structure can create freedom rather than constraint, and what SoloPower™ looks like in practice.

You will leave with a clear sense of whether the activ marketing franchise is right for you, and what the next steps would be if you choose to explore further.
