Franchisee James Gentle Takes the Plunge with activ Marketing

In a bold move that would make any marketing professional's heart race, James Gentle—Tring-based strategist and business coach—has decided to join forces with activ Marketing, the UK's sole BFA-accredited marketing franchise, to broaden his business horizons. His motivations are as clear as the strategy diagrams he surely draws in his sleep: to offer more comprehensive services without the ordeal of building his own agency from the ground up.

James first crossed paths with the activ team at Ideas Fest 2024, an intersection of creativity and collaboration that sparked a kindred connection. "It's like finding your marketing soulmate," as one might imagine he quipped, piquing the interest of the franchise's team. "James is a brilliant addition to activ," proclaimed CEO Katie Bullon, encapsulating his charm and strategic prowess in one neat sentence. Just a fortnight post his official enlistment, James made waves at activ’s Annual Franchise Forum in Cardiff, where his poised insights and supportive community spirit made him an instant favorite among the gathered franchisees.

"With the energizing culture here, the structure feels right,” James conveyed. And who wouldn’t agree? His official business launch is already on the horizon, promising to deliver much-needed marketing services to the locality he cherishes. As he embarks on this venture, he joins a flourishing network of energized franchisees—each buoyed by activ's proven systems and extensive training. This is not just a new chapter for James; it’s a significant stride in revolutionizing how marketing professionals can efficiently grow their businesses.
