Since then, we developed a proven, data-driven marketing strategy (powered by StoryBrand) that has helped both us and countless clients get noticed, attract the right customers, grow their ideal client base, and make an impact with their marketing and their businesses.

StoryBrand is a marketing framework developed by Donald Miller that helps businesses clarify their message so it resonates with their target audience. It centres around creating a story for your brand where the customer is the hero, and your business is the guide that helps them overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.
Implementing the StoryBrand framework can transform how you communicate with your customers. It simplifies your message, making it easier for customers to understand how your products or services can solve their problems. This clear communication helps increase engagement, conversions, and customer loyalty, ultimately driving growth for your business.
Creating a StoryBrand BrandScript involves identifying key elements of your brand's story, such as defining your customer's problem, positioning your brand as the guide with a solution, and outlining a plan that leads the customer to success. This script serves as the foundation for all your marketing materials, ensuring a consistent and compelling message across all platforms.
Be sure to choose a StoryBrand guide who prioritizes strategy over tactics. A strategic-first approach ensures your marketing is built on a solid foundation, preventing wasted time and resources in the long run. Look for a guide focused on aligning your core message and goals before diving into marketing actions, ensuring your efforts attract the right leads and drive meaningful results.

Take a deep dive into the world of strategic marketing insights,
where you’ll find expertise to help your business thrive.
By Vicky Sidler | Published 5 July 2025 at 12:00 GMT+2
If your marketing budget doesn’t include $10 million for AI experiments, you’re not alone. But according to a new global survey from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), that’s exactly what most large marketing departments are planning to spend—each year—for the next three years.
In a world where CMOs (Chief Marketing Officers) are tossing seven figures at generative AI with increasing confidence, the question isn’t “Should small businesses keep up?” It’s “What should we actually do with all this AI talk?”
Let’s break it down.
Big brands are all-in on GenAI—but that doesn’t mean you should follow blindly.
Here’s what small business owners should take away:
CMOs are focused on content quality, not just speed
Personalisation is delivering 3x the returns of mass offers
AI tools are growing, but training people still matters most
You don’t need $10M—just a clear message and smart, simple systems
The BCG report surveyed 200 CMOs across Asia, Europe, and North America. Their verdict? Generative AI isn’t a phase. It’s becoming a standard part of how marketing gets done.
Highlights from the research:
83% of CMOs feel optimistic about GenAI in 2025 (up from 74% in 2023)
71% plan to invest $10M+ per year over the next three years
60% expect GenAI to grow revenue by 5% or more
Focus areas include video generation, personalised offers, and AI-powered agents
But the most interesting part? Fewer CMOs are claiming efficiency gains. Instead, they’re seeing more value in better content and stronger customer experiences.
That’s good news for smaller businesses. Because you don’t need a huge team to improve your message—you just need the right system.
Here’s the part where I translate corporate excitement into real-life, budget-friendly actions:
AI can help you produce more content, but that’s not the end goal. CMOs are seeing better outcomes from personalised, customer-relevant content—not just cranking out blog posts. That’s where StoryBrand comes in. Clarify your message first. Then, if you use AI, you’re scaling clarity, not confusion.
CMOs are using GenAI to send offers tailored to specific behaviours. The takeaway for small businesses? Don’t send mass emails to your whole list. Use basic segmentation (even with a free tool) to make your emails feel like they were written just for that person. It makes a difference.
CMOs are deprioritising ROI measurement tools—which is... bold. But you don’t need advanced dashboards to make smarter decisions. A simple Google Sheet and three metrics (lead source, conversion rate, and average spend) can go a long way. Lean Marketing is all about finding what works without overcomplicating it.
The winning CMOs aren’t just buying software—they’re upskilling their teams. For small business owners, this means learning just enough about AI to use it well. You don’t need to become a prompt engineer. But you do need to know how to spot bad content and steer AI toward what makes sense for your voice.
As a Duct Tape Marketing Consultant and StoryBrand Guide, I’ve seen too many small businesses try to “do more” with AI and end up sounding less human. The trick is to stay human while using the machine to save time.
Here’s what I’d recommend:
Use AI to draft ideas—not to finish them
Make sure your one-liner is clear before you automate anything
Don’t invest in every new tool—pick one thing and get good at it
This tech isn’t going anywhere, but you don’t have to sprint to keep up. You just need a system that helps you make smart, simple choices—and keeps your message front and centre.
If AI has you feeling like you need a second brain just to do your marketing, you’re not alone. But before you sign up for another tool, start with the basics.
Grab the free 5-Minute Marketing Fix—it’ll help you explain what you do in plain English, without needing ChatGPT or a creative team.
In the world of business, feeling overwhelmed by marketing strategies that don't deliver can be disheartening.
At the Strategic Marketing Tribe, we understand that you might be unsure on how to effectively apply the StoryBrand framework and perhaps hesitant about investing in yet another marketing solution.
Our approach is designed to alleviate these concerns:
We offer a completely free strategy session that’s designed to help you with some great ideas for marketing your business. These ideas are 100% yours to keep – and there is no sales pitch to endure (not even a secret one).
What’s the catch? Well, if you’d like help with finalizing your StoryBrand Framework or implementing any of the tactics we discuss, we hope that you’ll consider us.
Best of all? If you’re not completely blown away by the work we do for you, we’ll give you a full refund. Sure, it’s a massive risk for us because we can’t undo the delivery once it’s been made, but we are so confident in the value our service provides that a guarantee is a no-brainer.
With our expert guidance, you can shift your focus from marketing worries to what you do best – growing your business, spending time with those you love, and enjoying the success that comes with clear, effective strategy.
