why franchise

Open your new agency with a 17-year headstart.

There’s no better way to open or expand your own Live & Experiential marketing agency than with Mertel franchising.

We know how big a step it is to start your own agency and how impossible it seems to get into large new business pitches when you’re a small player.

That’s why we decided to franchise Mertel. To help people, who love Live & Experiential marketing as much as we do, succeed at their dream of owning a profitable agency.

Our proposal is simple. On day 1 you get all the benefits of a long-established agency – a strong brand, efficient processes, client references and access to new international business. On top of that you also get ORCHESTRA – an AI platform of unique ideas, strategies from local markets, combined with a next generation project planning system.

And the best part? You get to keep all the freedom and ownership that motivated you to start your own agency in first place.

Let's open a Mertel Live & Experiential marketing agency in your region together.


how it works

It's easy as 1, 2, 3.

Here’s a short recap of what your road to opening a Mertel franchise agency will look like.

First, we get to know each other.

This business is about people. That’s why we’d like to get to know you (and you us) first. Just fill out the form below and your dedicated Mertel representative will get in touch with you.

Get all our know-how over a weekend.

If we got great chemistry with you, we’ll invite you for a weekend training workshop in one of our established office. Our experienced tutors will teach you everything you need to make your Mertel office a success. You’ll also get an in-depth understanding of ORCHESTRA.

At the end of the workshop, you take a test.

Open your Live & Experiential marketing agency.

Congratulations, you’ve passed the test!

Now we give you your Mertel office – a MacBook packed with ORCHESTRA and everything you need to start working.

We will also continue supporting you, providing continuous mentorship and training to assure that your agency will be successful.
