Katie Bullon, CEO and franchisor at activ Digital Marketing has been shortlisted at the 2024 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
The awards aim to celebrate the achievements of entrepreneurs who demonstrate innovation, creativity, and leadership, with previous winner alumni including Steven Bartlett.
Bullon will be contending for Creative Entrepreneur of the Year award following her leadership and development of activ Digital Marketing’s franchise model.
She acquired the franchise in 2021 and has since tripled turnover as well as onboarded two franchises.
Lisa Smith, franchisee of activ North Essex, said: “We are thrilled to see Katie recognised for her exceptional leadership and creativity.
“Her ability to inspire and lead with authenticity has been instrumental in our growth and success. This nomination is a well-deserved acknowledgment of her hard work and dedication.”
Lou Eddy, one of the business’ latest franchisees, also commented:
“Katie presented the activ Digital Marketing Franchise, which I could see was a fantastic opportunity, but the hook for me was her passion and approach to business, especially as a female in what can be a brutal industry.
“She has fostered a creative safe environment where business growth is tangible, and I’m delighted this has been recognised by the Great British Entrepreneur awards.”
Winners will be revealed at Grosvenor House in London on Monday 18 November 2024.
