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.

Mark Zuckerberg Sues Meta for Blocking Himself
By Vicky Sidler | Published 3 October 2025 at 12:00 GMT+2
It’s hard enough running Facebook ads. Now imagine doing it while being named Mark Zuckerberg.
No, not that one. The other Mark Zuckerberg. The lawyer from Indianapolis who’s spent the last decade getting booted off Facebook for allegedly impersonating… himself.
This month, the real-not-billionaire Zuckerberg filed a lawsuit against Meta after yet another account suspension cost him four months of advertising, client leads, and what’s left of his patience.
According to The New York Times, it’s not even the first time. He’s been locked out at least ten times since 2011.
And that’s with verified documents in hand.
TL;DR:
A bankruptcy lawyer named Mark S. Zuckerberg is suing Meta
Facebook repeatedly blocked his accounts for “impersonating” its CEO
He’s spent over $11,000 on ads that were wasted due to suspensions
His business page was reinstated only after he filed the lawsuit
He wants Meta to finally fix the problem and cover the damages

FAQs on Mark Zuckerberg’s Lawsuit Against Meta
1. Who is the Mark Zuckerberg suing Meta?
2. Why did Meta keep suspending his accounts?
3. What impact did this have on his business?
4. What is he asking for in the lawsuit?
6. What does this mean for other small business owners?
When Your Name Gets Flagged by a Bot:
Zuckerberg (the lawyer, not the hoodie-wearer) has worked in bankruptcy law for 38 years. His main problem isn’t tech support requests or confused friend requests. It’s that Facebook keeps deciding he doesn’t exist.
Meta’s automated systems flag his accounts as fake. Then they lock him out. When he sends in his bar license and ID to prove his name is real, nothing happens. His team appeals. They wait. Still nothing. Weeks turn into months.
He’s now asking Meta to pay for his legal fees, lost ad spend, and the time his IT team spent going in circles trying to get his account back.
Facebook Ads Matter for Small Businesses:
Some people might shrug this off. But if you’re a lawyer, or any small business owner, you know that Facebook ads are not optional.
Zuckerberg says Facebook is where his clients are. And once someone files for bankruptcy, they usually never come back. It’s a one-time shot to reach the right person at the right time.
Losing four months of ads during that window? That’s not just annoying. It’s lost income.
As he put it, “It’s important to market and keep your name out there and get to the people that are in trouble, so you can help them.”
Why This Story Isn’t Just Funny:
Yes, the irony is gold. But the implications are serious. Meta controls access to one of the most powerful marketing tools in the world. And yet even after multiple suspensions, documentation, and pleas for support, it took a lawsuit to get someone’s business page restored.
That’s not just bad customer service. It’s structural neglect.
So if your business relies on Facebook or Instagram to reach clients, you need a backup plan. You also need to know what your message is—because when your account vanishes, your reputation is all that’s left.
How to Protect Your Marketing Strategy:
As a StoryBrand Guide and Duct Tape Marketing Consultant, I always tell clients that clarity beats algorithms.
If your message is simple and consistent, you’re more likely to bounce back when tech fails you. You also reduce your risk of being mistaken for a bot or banned by mistake.
Zuckerberg’s case is extreme. But the lesson is universal.
If your digital presence depends on a platform you don’t control, then your message needs to be rock solid.
That’s where my 5-Minute Marketing Fix comes in. It’s a free tool to help you write a one-liner that explains who you are, what you do, and why people should care.
Because whether you’re named Mark Zuckerberg or not, your business shouldn’t vanish every time a bot gets confused.

FAQs on Mark Zuckerberg’s Lawsuit Against Meta
1. Who is the Mark Zuckerberg suing Meta?
It’s not the Facebook founder. The plaintiff is Mark S. Zuckerberg, a bankruptcy lawyer from Indianapolis who has no relation to Meta’s CEO. He’s suing because Facebook keeps disabling his accounts, wrongly accusing him of impersonating a celebrity.
2. Why did Meta keep suspending his accounts?
Meta’s automated systems flagged his name as suspicious. Even after he submitted verification documents like his law license, the platform continued to block both his personal and business accounts.
3. What impact did this have on his business?
He lost months of access to his Facebook business page, during which time he couldn’t run ads or reach potential clients. He estimates he spent over $11,000 on ads that became worthless due to the suspensions.
4. What is he asking for in the lawsuit?
Zuckerberg wants Meta to pay his legal fees, reimburse wasted ad spend, and finally put safeguards in place to stop this from happening again. He’s not asking for a specific dollar amount in damages—just resolution and accountability.
5. Has Meta responded?
Yes. Meta reinstated his account after he filed the lawsuit and said the suspension was a mistake. They’ve promised to try to prevent it from happening again.
6. What does this mean for other small business owners?
If a real person with a long-standing account and verified documents can be blocked without recourse, it’s a warning to all business owners who rely on Facebook. You don’t own your platform presence—so your message needs to be strong and portable.
7. How can I avoid this kind of platform risk?
Start with a clear, consistent message that works across channels. Then back it up with an email list, website, and brand voice that doesn’t depend on a single platform. If you need help crafting that message, try the 5-Minute Marketing Fix.
8. Is it risky to use platforms like Facebook for business?
It’s not wrong—but it’s risky to use them exclusively. As this case shows, you can lose access overnight. Diversify your marketing and control what you can, especially your core message and customer list.
