We’re proud to announce that activ Marketing has achieved Expanding status with the British Franchise Association (BFA) – a huge milestone that recognises not only our business growth, but the strength and success of our marketing across the entire network.
This accreditation confirms what we’ve always believed: great marketing delivers real results.
It’s proof that our strategy, creativity, and client-first approach are working – because when our franchisees thrive, so do their clients.
A Recognition of Proven Success
The British Franchise Association awards Expanding accreditation to franchisors who can demonstrate consistent, ethical and measurable growth across their network.
To achieve this level, we provided evidence of:
- Sustained business growth through strong marketing performance
- Financial success from established franchisees
- A scalable, trusted model that delivers results at every level
- Commitment to ethical practice and long-term sustainability
This recognition means activ Marketing is officially operating as an Expanding brand – a mark of quality, credibility, and proven success.
Marketing That Drives Real Growth
Our journey from Emerging to Expanding wasn’t achieved through chance. It happened because our marketing works – for our franchise partners, and for their clients.
Every activ branch combines national-level strategy with local marketing expertise. That means every campaign, every website and every social media plan is backed by the insight, data and creative thinking that drives growth.
“This accreditation validates what our marketing achieves every day,” says Katie Bullon, CEO and Franchisor of activ Marketing.
“Our franchisees are thriving because their clients are thriving – that’s the power of effective, ethical marketing that’s built on experience and results.”
