    Dani Peleva is the Founder & CEO of Local Fame and Franchise Fame - global digital marketing agencies with Franchise Fame also serving as an in-depth franchise directory. With headquarters in London, it is aimed exclusively at franchisors and franchisees. Dani spearheaded its creation and successful take-off. She ensures all franchisors and franchisees get optimal outcomes from their budgets, raises their profiles and helps them exceed their marketing objectives.

    She brings to everyone a boundless wealth of knowledge and experience, which began 13 years ago when she led the marketing team of a franchisor. She then became a franchisee herself, with her team growing from one person to 12. After this, she launched two successful businesses - Local Fame and Franchise Fame, wrote her bestselling book Franchise Fame, published in 2022, and has since become an industry ambassador for all franchising matters.
    Her profound knowledge of franchising has empowered countless in the franchise ecosystem to achieve “franchise fame” through highly detailed and targeted marketing efforts. Dani’s absolute dedication to clients, among which is a global franchisor with over 2,600 locations worldwide, is affirmed by her agency winning the Best PR & Marketing Firm by the Global Franchise Awards.

    Since its establishment, Franchise Fame has grown in strength. Under Dani’s incredible leadership, the agency continues to help everyone in the franchising ecosystem exceed their objectives. A few examples of Dani’s efforts are:

    ●  Franchise Fame the book: The book outlines the tried-and-tested “Five Fs of franchise marketing” model for franchising success. Created by Dani and applied to franchising clients in numerous industries, the model has produced incredible results for Mail Boxes Etc. - Australia, Caribbean, Central America; Fantastic Services, and many others across the globe. Within mere days of publication, the book became an Amazon bestseller, owing to its value-add and high-quality implementable recommendations for everyone in the franchising ecosystem.

    ●  Clients - Goals - Results: Dani has proven that it’s not the sheer size of the agency that matters but the results. Her motto, “what gets measured gets managed”, is applicable to each client’s case. First, a thorough audit of the franchisor’s current efforts is undertaken. Then, precise points for action are identified that are completely and uniquely tailored to the client. Finally, the bespoke strategy is implemented, yielding impressive results.

    ●  Award-winning agency: In line with the UN’s SDGs, franchising can pave the way for a more equitable future by creating more equal opportunities for women and decent work. In recognition of Dani’s commitment to these SDGs, both  agencies’ unwavering efforts to help franchisors and franchisees exceed their objectives also saw Local Fame win Best PR & Marketing Firm by the Global Franchise Awards in 2022.

The model touches on real case studies with franchisors across the world and how the model has helped them reach soaring success.
