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.

TL;DR
“Orange aesthetic” searches spiked 712% after Swift’s reveal

Which industries can benefit most from this trend?
How long will the Taylor Swift Orange trend last?
Can this trend work for businesses outside the Northern Hemisphere?
What if trying this trend doesn’t boost my business?
How can I make sure my trend-based marketing still works long-term?
Why This Matters for Small Businesses:
Color trends aren’t new. But in the age of TikTok and Instagram Reels, their lifespan is often measured in weeks, not seasons.
As Keith Kakadia, CEO of Sociallyin, puts it:
“Color is one of the fastest-moving levers in marketing right now, and Taylor Swift just pulled the biggest one of the year.”
Translation? If your product or service could be styled, packaged, plated, or posted in orange—and still look authentic—this is your shot.
The 7 Industries Set to Gain:
While not every business can (or should) go full tangerine overnight, some sectors are naturally positioned to make orange work without it feeling forced. Here’s where the opportunity is ripest:
1. Fashion & Apparel:
Think capsule collections, accessories, and statement pieces. This is low-hanging fruit for any retailer who’s not afraid to re-merch a window display overnight.
2. Beauty & Cosmetics:
Lipsticks, nail polish, and eyeshadows in warm orange shades. Bonus points if you tie it to autumn and influencer collabs.
3. Food & Beverage:
From pumpkin spice to citrus launches, seasonal packaging updates in orange can make everyday items feel “limited edition.”
4. Home Décor:
Accent pillows, throws, rugs, and candles. Subtle swaps can make a whole product line feel trend-aligned without remanufacturing your range.
5. Events & Entertainment:
Orange-themed parties, pop-ups, or merch drops. Tie it to Swift-inspired playlists and you’ve got a ready-made event hook.
6. Sports & Fitness:
Limited-edition gear, jerseys, or accessories in bold orange tones. Perfect for sports teams or athleisure brands.
7. Hospitality & Travel:
Cafés, hotels, and lounges adding seasonal décor or menu highlights. Easy, affordable, and instantly Instagrammable.
How to Make Orange Work for You:
Swift’s influence extends beyond her fanbase—people who don’t even follow her music are seeing orange in ads, influencer content, and store displays. But “orange-washing” your brand without a plan is a fast track to looking try-hard.
Here’s how to do it without losing your brand identity:
Blend with Brand DNA: Integrate orange into existing designs, packaging, or photography styles.
Go Seasonal: Tie the color to whatever season is relevant in your market. In the Northern Hemisphere, autumn campaigns make orange feel natural and cozy. In the Southern Hemisphere, link it to spring and summer with fresh, citrusy, or floral themes.
Think Micro-Moments: Try orange in social media frames, thumbnails, or ad borders.
Partner Wisely: Work with influencers whose audiences overlap with Swift’s demographic.
Test First: Trial orange in digital ads before committing to physical production.
Keith sums it up by saying:
“The sweet spot for brands is between novelty and saturation. Move too late, and you’re yesterday’s news. Move too aggressively, and consumers will see it as forced.”
But honestly—at Strategic Marketing Tribe, one of our team mantras is “We’re some crazy mofos who love experimenting with new shit, and we’re not afraid to admit when it was a kak idea.” (Kak means “shitty” in Afrikaans.) We test, we learn, and we move on. So don’t overthink this. If the orange thing feels like a natural fit for your brand, give it a shot. If nothing comes of it—or worse, it flops—it’s still a win if you learned something along the way.
Don’t Just Chase Trends—Clarify Your Message:
Jumping on a cultural wave like this can work wonders—but only if people understand why they should buy from you in the first place.
If your brand message is as fuzzy as a peach, all the orange packaging in the world won’t fix it. That’s why your first step should be to nail one clear, compelling sentence that explains what you do and why it matters.
The 5-Minute Marketing Fix walks you through exactly how to do that—so your trend-based marketing actually drives sales.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the “Taylor Swift Orange Effect”?
The term refers to the surge in interest for orange tones across fashion, beauty, home décor, and more following Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl reveal. Searches for “orange aesthetic” spiked 712% within a day, driving a wave of trend adoption across industries.
Which industries can benefit most from this trend?
Sociallyin’s research identified seven industries with the highest potential: fashion & apparel, beauty & cosmetics, food & beverage, home décor, events & entertainment, sports & fitness, and hospitality & travel.
How long will the Taylor Swift Orange trend last?
Color trends can peak quickly—sometimes in weeks rather than months. Acting early while staying authentic to your brand identity is key to making it work without looking opportunistic.
Can this trend work for businesses outside the Northern Hemisphere?
Yes. Seasonal context matters. In the Northern Hemisphere, orange ties naturally to autumn. In the Southern Hemisphere, it can be positioned as fresh, citrusy, and spring/summer-ready.
What if trying this trend doesn’t boost my business?
At Strategic Marketing Tribe, we believe in experimenting without fear. If a trend aligns with your brand, test it. If it doesn’t deliver results, treat it as a learning experience and move on.
How can I make sure my trend-based marketing still works long-term?
Trends work best when built on a strong, clear brand message. If your core messaging is unclear, a color change won’t fix it. Start by creating a compelling one-liner with the5-Minute Marketing Fix, then layer trend-based marketing on top.
