Hi, I'm Vicky Sidler

A StoryBrand Certified Guide & Fellow Entrepreneur


And believe me, I GET IT! I understand the frustration of marketing that just doesn't seem to work. I know what it's like to feel lost in a sea of tactics and strategies. When I started my agency in 2020, I was just a small fish in a big pond, trying to stand out from whale-sized competitors. (I’m also a qualified scuba diver, in case you’re wondering about these metaphors…)

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.

  • We boast a proven track record of transforming marketing messages to resonate with target audiences.

  • As StoryBrand Certified Guides, we apply the renowned StoryBrand Framework to everything we do with impressive results!

  • And as a Duct Tape Certified Agency, we’ve gone through an extensive certification process to offer you a holistic, systematic approach to marketing – a system that truly works.

You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we'll take your marketing from confusing to crystal clear. Let's make your brand's message stand out and connect with the people who matter most to your business.

I used the StoryBrand ‘one-liner’ yesterday for the first time to create some awareness on my various social media platforms. I have never had so many likes and interest on one of my coaching ads before. I am booking some consultations as we speak. You guys are amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are our answers to the most frequently asked questions about marketing and lead generation.

What is StoryBrand?

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.

How can StoryBrand help my business?

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.

What does the process of creating a StoryBrand BrandScript involve?

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.

How do I choose the right StoryBrand guide for my business?

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.

CMOs Bet Big on Generative AI—Here’s What Small Businesses Should Watch

CMOs Bet Big on Generative AI—Here’s What Small Businesses Should Watch

July 05, 20254 min read

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.


TL;DR

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


What the Big Brands Are Doing:

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.

What This Means for Small Business Owners:

Here’s the part where I translate corporate excitement into real-life, budget-friendly actions:

1️⃣ Quality over quantity still wins:

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.

2️⃣ Personalisation isn’t just for the big guys:

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.

3️⃣ Measure what matters:

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.

4️⃣ Talent beats tools:

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.

Don’t Panic—Strategise:

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.

Want to Stay Clear While the Big Guys Get Complex?

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.
