Another New Franchisee for Activ Marketing

Laura Lloyd Lewis has taken the next step in her career, launching her own marketing business with the via Activ’s market leading franchise for marketers, as she moves from senior marketing roles into business ownership.

With more than 10 years of experience, Laura brings a strong commercial mindset and a proven track record across both B2B and B2C environments. Her career has spanned the public, private and third sectors, where she has led CRM transformation projects and delivered strategic marketing initiatives focused on measurable growth. As a PRINCE2 practitioner with a postgraduate qualification in events, she has consistently aligned marketing Activity with wider business strategy, ensuring time, budget and performance work together to deliver clear, tangible outcomes.

After building a successful and varied career, Laura reached a point where she was ready for a new challenge. She wanted to step into something that would allow her to use her full skill set in a more purposeful way, while creating something of her own and having greater control over her direction.

The decision to partner with Activ marketing was shaped by both experience and trust. Laura has known the CEO and Franchisor, Katie Bullon for several years. Watching the business grow over time, and seeing the consistency in its values and approach, gave Laura the confidence that Activ was the right fit for her next step.

What stood out most was the balance between independence and support. The opportunity to build her own business, while being backed by a proven model and a strong community, offered a clear advantage over starting alone. The variety within the Activ model also appealed, giving Laura the ability to work across different sectors, challenges and client needs while delivering meaningful, results driven marketing.

A key moment in Laura’s journey came following a conversation with Lou, which helped bring the opportunity to life in a practical way. Hearing first hand about the support available, the structure behind the model and the reality of running the business reinforced her decision and made the move feel both achievable and right.

Now, as a business owner, Laura is focused on helping clients achieve measurable growth through clear, commercially driven marketing strategies. Backed by the Activ framework, she is combining her experience with a proven system to build a sustainable, scalable and impactful business.

Her journey reflects a growing number of experienced professionals choosing franchising as a route into business ownership. By combining independence with structure, and ambition with support, Laura is building a business that not only delivers results for clients, but also aligns with her long term career goals.
