At activ, we believe great marketing happens when you combine local knowledge with national expertise. That’s exactly what our unique model delivers.
Every activ Marketing consultant is a franchisee, which means they’re business owners in their own right, fully committed to delivering the best possible outcomes for their clients. But they’re not doing it alone.
Behind every activ consultant is a national team of specialists providing ongoing training, tools, strategy and support. So whether you’re working with someone down the road or on the other side of the UK, you benefit from a marketing expert who’s plugged into a wider network, one that’s always evolving and sharing what works.
National support. Local focus.
One of the ways we ensure this high standard is through our Annual Franchise Forum, a key event where all activ consultants come together to reflect, learn and align on the year ahead. In 2025, this event received an 88% feedback score for delivery and value, reinforcing our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.
The event included updates on new marketing tools, customer service enhancements, future-focused AI discussions, and best practice sharing across all territories. That means when you work with an activ consultant, you’re accessing not only their personal expertise, but also insights, strategies and systems developed and refined by a UK-wide team.
A network committed to your success
Clients across the UK choose activ because we offer more than just marketing services. We provide:
- A dedicated local consultant who understands your market and builds strong, personal relationships
- A central support team with expertise in SEO, social media, web design, content and more
- Regular innovation rollouts to help you stay ahead
- Consistent quality, with every consultant trained and supported by a national infrastructure
Our clients often tell us they love the combination of local care and national capability, it means they can build trusted relationships with their activ consultant while also benefiting from cutting-edge tools, insights and strategy.
It’s no surprise that 75% of businesses now prefer working with one trusted marketing partner rather than juggling multiple suppliers¹. But while demand for a one-stop shop is growing, solo freelancers often struggle to meet that need, with 30% reporting difficulties retaining clients due to limited resources or skill set gaps².
That’s where activ stands apart. Our consultants don’t have to do it all alone. Each one is backed by a national team of experts in SEO, content, PPC, design and more, so clients get the best of both worlds: personal service and powerful delivery, all under one roof.
That’s the activ difference
We’re proud of the success of our 2025 forum, but even more proud of what it means for our clients: better service, better ideas, and even better results.
