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.

How Small Businesses Can Finally Use Loyalty Data Properly

How Small Businesses Can Finally Use Loyalty Data Properly

July 06, 20253 min read

By Vicky Sidler | Published 6 July 2025 at 10:00 GMT

If you’ve been bribing your customers with discounts and calling it a loyalty strategy, you’re not alone. But that playbook is wearing thin—and today’s customers are catching on.

A recent Loyalty 2.0 event hosted by Industry Dive revealed that most loyalty programs still operate like it’s 1995. Punch-card mentality. Data trapped in silos. And teams that treat each other like rival street gangs.

Here’s the good news: you don’t need a corporate-sized budget to get loyalty right. But you do need to stop thinking of it as a coupon dispenser and start treating it like a data-powered relationship engine.


TL;DR

Loyalty isn’t just about perks—it’s about understanding people.

  • First-party data is gold, but most businesses don’t use it properly.

  • Break down your internal silos (yes, even in a team of two).

  • Aim for relevance, not just rewards.


What’s Actually Broken in Most Loyalty Programs:

According to Eric Beane from VML, many loyalty programs still run like old-school punch cards. And it shows.

“They’re missing the most important part, which is that human element,” said Beane.

Translation: if your loyalty strategy stops at “10% off your next order,” your customers are just hanging around for the discount. The minute someone else offers 15%, they’re gone.

Loyalty Data: You’re Collecting It—Now Use It:

One of the biggest missed opportunities? Loyalty programs give you first-party data. That’s the stuff you collect directly from your customers—email addresses, purchase behaviour, preferences. The kind of data that becomes more valuable every time someone says, “Cookies are going away.”

Tamara Oliverio from Epsilon hit the nail on the head: “It’s going to reduce waste, it’s going to inform smart targeting.”

But most businesses stash that data away in different systems. Sales doesn’t talk to marketing. Email platforms don’t talk to POS systems. And the result? Everyone’s talking to customers like strangers.

Fix the Silos—Even If You’re a Small Team:

Beane summed it up: “Those legacy silos, those legacy walls, that’s made sharing data feel more like a negotiation than like a collaboration.”

Now, maybe you’re thinking, “But Vicky, I don’t have a marketing department. I am the department.” Fair point. But even solo entrepreneurs use multiple tools—email, invoicing, social media. The key is getting your tools (and your habits) to work together.

Start here:

  • Collect your data in one place (even if that’s a spreadsheet for now)

  • Review it monthly—what’s working, what’s getting ignored?

  • Use it to personalise your offers, follow-ups, and messaging

What Keeps Customers Coming Back (It’s Not Just Deals):

Epsilon found that 70% of consumers join loyalty programs for perks. But staying power comes from connection.

“There’s also value in engaging and having more time with the brand,” said Oliverio.

That means your emails should do more than shout about a sale. Your social posts should do more than share new stock. People stay loyal to brands that feel familiar, relevant, and helpful.

That’s where StoryBrand comes in. Clear messaging. Customer-first language. Offers that actually match what your people care about.

And it’s where Lean Marketing shines too. Rather than throw every idea at the wall, you test what matters, track what works, and ditch the rest.

My Advice to Small Business Owners—Start Simple, But Start Smart:

You don’t need a fancy app to build loyalty. You need to:

  • Collect first-party data from every sale and interaction

  • Use that data to segment your customers

  • Send the right message at the right time

  • Treat loyalty as a relationship, not a transaction

Even sending a personal follow-up email after a repeat purchase is more valuable than giving away another 20% off voucher.

Want to Stand Out? Get Clear First:

If your loyalty program isn’t converting, your message might be the problem.

Most business owners I work with struggle to explain their value in one sentence. And if you’re not clear, your loyalty offers won’t land either.

That’s why I created the 5-Minute Marketing Fix. It helps you write a one-liner that explains what you do and why it matters—in plain English.

No marketing jargon. No AI fluff. Just clarity that gets you better leads and more loyal customers.
