MARKETING THAT FEELS NATURAL

WATCH THIS VIDEO

If your message isn’t landing—and the right clients aren’t showing up—it’s not your fault. Most service business owners are great at what they do. They just struggle to talk about it clearly.

In this video, I’ll walk you through how we fix that using the StoryBrand Framework, plus how to get started with either DIY or done-for-you options.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOUR MESSAGE ISN’T CLEAR

Can your mom explain what you do?

Can you easily explain what you do?

Can anyone?

If not, that's the problem we fix.

Because when people don’t understand what you do, they move on. You end up working harder just to stay in the game.

  • You’re always re-explaining yourself

  • Your website doesn’t convert visitors into clients

  • Your leads aren’t the right fit

  • Referrals become scarce

  • Marketing is frustrating as all hell

But it doesn’t have to be this way. A clear message makes all of that easier. It’s the difference between chasing leads—and attracting the right ones.

You might not believe it yet, but marketing can actually be the opposite of frustrating when you're doing it right.

FIXING YOUR MARKETING SHOULDN’T FEEL IMPOSSIBLE

Most small business owners aren’t marketers—they just want to explain what they do in a way that makes people care.

But when the message isn’t clear, everything else gets harder: websites don’t convert, leads go cold, and social posts fall flat.

You might worry that getting it right will take too much time, cost too much money, or feel like just another online course you’ll never finish.

That’s why I offer three simple paths: do-it-together support through the StoryBrand Course, 1:1 and team coaching, or done-for-you services where I build your full funnel myself.

You’ll get clear messaging, practical templates, and real support—so your marketing finally works and your business actually grows.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

We know marketing can feel overwhelming, and you probably have questions. That’s why we’ve put together answers to the things people ask us most.

What makes Strategic Marketing Tribe different from other StoryBrand marketing agencies?

We’re the StoryBrand marketing agency that skips the boring "corporate speak." We blend the power of StoryBrand with strategic marketing solutions to craft content that feels human, genuine, and impossible to ignore.

How can your strategic marketing solutions benefit my business?

Our strategic marketing solutions simplify your message, clarify your brand story, and help you connect with your ideal customers. It’s marketing that makes sense and gets results – no jargon, no gimmicks, just growth.

What is StoryBrand, and why does it matter?

Think of StoryBrand as a cheat sheet for marketing clarity. It helps you explain what you do in a way that makes people stop, listen, and say, “Oh, I get it.” We use it to create marketing that feels human and that your audience will actually enjoy reading.

Do I need to be familiar with StoryBrand to work with you?

Not at all! Whether you’re a StoryBrand superfan (like us!) or have no idea what it is, we’ll walk you through everything. We’re here to make the process simple, clear, and (dare we say) fun.

How do I know if this is right for my business?

If people keep saying “I don’t really get what you do,” or you’re getting the wrong kind of leads, it’s a sign your message needs work. That’s what we fix.

What if I don’t have time to take a course?

The course is built for time-strapped business owners. You get short lessons, plug-and-play templates, and live support so you’re never stuck or overwhelmed.

What’s the difference between the course and the done-for-you service?

The course gives you training, tools, and weekly support so you can do it yourself. The done-for-you option means I build your whole funnel for you.

How long does it take to see results?

Most people see clearer messaging and better engagement within a week of applying the one-liner. Bigger results (like leads and conversions) follow as you apply it across your marketing.

What if I’ve already tried StoryBrand and it didn’t work?

Many people try to apply StoryBrand on their own and miss key parts. This course walks you through it step-by-step, with real examples and live feedback from a Certified Guide.

STORY, MEET STRATEGY

Work from Home Is Better For Business—Here’s the Tech That Proves It

Work from Home Is Better For Business—Here’s the Tech That Proves It

July 21, 20253 min read

By Vicky Sidler | Published 21 July 2025 at 12:00 GMT 

Let’s skip the debate: working from home isn’t just a lifestyle perk—it’s a productivity upgrade.

Logitech says remote workers are just as productive, if not more, than their office-bound counterparts. And when you add in fewer distractions, less commuting, and fewer arguments over the office aircon, you start to see why many small businesses are sticking with remote or hybrid setups for the long haul.

But here’s the twist: making WFH work long-term takes more than a laptop and prayer.

A recent ZDNET article featuring Logitech executives shows how smart hardware, hybrid-friendly tools, and a shift in mindset are helping small teams get more done—with less stress.

Let’s break it down.


TL;DR

  • Remote workers can be more productive than in-office teams—if they’ve got the right setup

  • Logitech tools are powering smoother video, audio, and team communication

  • AI is helping meetings run better (finally)

  • Tech equity matters—remote workers shouldn’t feel like second-class participants

  • Clear messaging still beats fancy tools if you want real results

Need help getting your message right? Grab my free 5-Minute Marketing Fix. It’s a quick and easy tool to help you get clear and build trust fast.


Small Teams, Big Flexibility Wins:

Here’s what Logitech’s president, Prakash Arunkundrum, told ZDNET: “We already know that people can be just as productive, if not more, from home.”

And they’re not wrong. For many small businesses, ditching the office means fewer costs and more agility. Remote setups offer flexibility for team members and free up cash that would’ve gone into rent, electricity, and bad instant coffee.

In 2025, remote isn’t a concession—it’s a competitive edge.

Tools That Actually Move the Needle:

The tools that make remote work work aren’t particularly flashy. They’re just smart.

Logitech’s Brio 505 webcam lets team members easily show sketches, documents, or physical products—without playing acrobat with their laptops. AI framing keeps everyone centered. Two-way noise cancellation helps your client hear you—not your neighbor’s lawn mower.

Their Logi Dock combines USB ports, calendar buttons, mute control, and power into a clean little hub that reduces clutter and friction.

Bottom line: better gear means fewer “Can you hear me now?” moments and more progress.

What AI Actually Does (Besides Buzzwords):

AI isn’t just for writing social media captions. Logitech’s tools use it to:

  • Auto-frame people in hybrid meetings

  • Cancel noise intelligently

  • Equalize voices so everyone sounds balanced

  • Automate small but annoying tasks (like muting and screen switching)

It’s not about sounding futuristic—it’s about sounding human.

Stop Treating Remote Staff Like Spectators:

One of the most underrated insights in the ZDNET piece? Remote workers often feel “othered” during hybrid meetings.

Logitech’s fix? Tools like the Rally Board smart monitor and Logitech Sight tabletop camera that use beam-forming audio and smart switching to give remote team members an actual seat at the table.

That’s a mouthful, but this isn’t about being fancy. It’s about making sure the whole team feels included—and heard.

What Smart Small Businesses Are Doing:

If your business is leaning into remote or hybrid work, here's your checklist:

  1. Decent hardware: You don’t need a studio. But you do need a solid webcam, clear audio, and reliable connections.

  2. Simple collaboration tools: Think shared calendars, call summaries, and dock features that speed things up—not slow them down.

  3. A message that lands: All this tech means nothing if your team (or clients) can’t clearly say what you do and why it matters.

The Bottom Line:

Work from home isn’t just working. It’s working better.

But only if your setup supports it—and your message doesn’t let you down. If you’re relying on guesswork, jargon, or “we do a bit of everything” messaging, the tech won’t save you.

Start with clarity.

That’s what the 5-Minute Marketing Fix helps you do. It’s a free tool I created to help small businesses turn their message into one clear, compelling line that sticks.
