About Kate, Laura and Liberty Hive

Kate Merritt and Laura Braithwaite have always been passionate about people. In March 2020, these female co-founders set out to use technology to enable a new and disruptive approach for connecting great talent in the media industry to companies, and Liberty Hive was born! Laura has worked at various networks and smaller independent agencies including Carat, BLM and Omnicom, and is a champion of work-life balance and creating a warm and welcoming environment. Kate has twenty years of experience with companies like Carat, Zenith, Mindshare and The Telegraph. Liberty Hive lets her put her passion into making a real difference to the way the industry works with talent.


Launched in February 2021, Liberty Hive is a tech-led talent platform that connects consultants and media businesses quickly and easily. Turning the tables on traditional recruitment, they’ve developed an instant matching technology that behaves more like a dating service for the media industry - doing the heavy lifting whilst the two founders work on building their winning community. Their approach is inclusive of everyone, talking to every new member and providing advice and guidance to all.
