S4 Ep3: Kate & Laura - Liberty Hive

On this week's epsiode we celebrate the first birthday of the business founded by my guests Kate Merritt & Laura Braithwaite. In Febuary 2021, Kate and Laura launched Liberty Hive connecting media, marketing and martech specialists to businesses quickly and easily. Their vision is to disrupt the media industry by dialling up flexibility in the workplace, made possible by creating a dedicated technology platform for media specialists and companies. 

Turning the tables on traditional recruitment, the instant matching technology means Liberty Hive behaves more like a dating service for the industry! However, it’s not all about the tech as both founders recognise the importance of the personal touch and love nothing more than talking to their new and growing media community – they are always up for a chat and a cuppa. 

Between them, they have a combined media experience of over 50 years working at global networks, independent agencies as well as media owners including Dentsu, OMD, Rocket, Hearts & Science, Publicis, BLM, Havas, WPP, ITV and The Telegraph.  They believe it’s this industry knowledge and network that sets them apart. 

Ultimately, it is a love of the media industry and a determination to make a positive change for talent that drives their ambitious plans for Liberty Hive.  Hybrid working, accelerated diversity and inclusion, flexible work/life balance, and agile resourcing are all things they support and celebrate at Liberty Hive – these are the reasons they launched nearly a year ago.

Please share you own take-outs from the series on my Linked In page I'd love to hear what you think and also your suggestions for future founder guests.
