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.

Google’s Ad Revenues Surge in 2025—Here’s What Small Businesses Should Really Take from It
By Vicky Sidler | Published 25 April 2025 at 09:00 GMT
There’s a moment every April when Google steps up to the mic like a sweaty TED Talker about to reveal “what the data shows.” The company’s Q1 2025 earnings report was no exception, except this time, they weren’t just making money—they were printing it.
According to Alphabet’s results, ad revenues grew by double digits year-over-year, with YouTube ad sales jumping 10% to a breezy $8.9 billion. Apparently, Gen Z is still watching people shout at video games, and marketers are still willing to pay for the privilege of being wedged between those videos.
But the real kicker? Google credited its good fortune not to luck, or even to us clicking “skip ad” a second too late but to artificial intelligence. Yes, AI. The thing we were told would replace marketers. Turns out, it’s making Google’s ads better (or so they say).
Google’s Big AI Move: Making Ads Work (Just a Bit) Smarter
According to Google execs, their ad growth was largely driven by AI enhancements. Translation: they used machine learning to help advertisers get more bang for their budget—whether that’s through automated bidding, smarter targeting, or tools that write headlines better than a caffeinated copywriter with a thesaurus.
This isn’t science fiction. It’s Google rolling out features that small business owners may already be using—like auto-generated Performance Max campaigns or responsive search ads that morph depending on the searcher’s query. Creepy? A little. Effective? Apparently, very.
It also helps that Google's search business stayed strong, even with the looming threat of AI search assistants that were supposed to eat Google’s lunch. So far, that lunch is still being served with dessert.
YouTube’s Comeback Tour (Now with More Ads)
The 10% year-on-year growth in YouTube ad revenue shows two things: one, people are definitely still watching; and two, advertisers still believe those eyeballs are worth chasing.
For small businesses, YouTube remains one of the only places where you can run a video ad for the cost of a mediocre sandwich. And with newer AI-powered tools for editing, subtitles, and audience targeting, it’s more accessible than ever. No need for a film crew—just a decent smartphone and an opinion.
This isn’t just about scaling; it’s about showing up where people are. If your customers are watching YouTube tutorials on how to stop killing houseplants, you could be the friendly face offering a 20% discount on pots.
What This Means for Small Businesses—An Analysis
Here’s what’s actually useful about this whole “Alphabet is rich again” update:
1. Google Ads still work.
If you’ve been unsure about running search ads or YouTube campaigns, this is a strong signal that the ecosystem is healthy. Businesses are spending, and—crucially—they’re seeing returns.
2. AI in ads isn’t optional anymore.
As a Duct Tape Marketing Consultant, I often help clients simplify and systemise their marketing. But the truth is, platforms like Google are already pushing AI automation whether you like it or not. That means small businesses need to be proactive—testing, measuring, and adjusting to these new tools rather than ignoring them.
3. Attention is shifting.
More people are watching video than reading blogs or opening email newsletters. This doesn’t mean you need to start dancing on TikTok, but it does mean thinking about how your message works in motion. A simple video ad can do more than a static image ever could, especially if you’re telling a story that customers relate to—something the StoryBrand framework is built for.
4. Your data matters.
Google’s success is partly built on its ability to measure what works. That should be your playbook too. Whether it’s through Google Ads, YouTube analytics, or just tracking conversions manually, you need to measure what matters and drop what doesn’t. As Allan Dibb’s Lean Marketing approach teaches: run small experiments, then scale the ones that work. Don’t go all in on a channel just because it’s trendy.
Where This Leaves Us
Google made a pile of money this quarter, and AI helped them do it. That’s good news for anyone who relies on digital ads to grow their business. But it’s also a reminder: the platforms are getting smarter, and so should we.
Your takeaway isn’t just “Google’s fine”—it’s that you now have access to the same AI-powered tools they do. You don’t need a marketing team the size of a sports club. You need clarity, consistency, and the willingness to test a few buttons.
And maybe—just maybe—a decent video intro
