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.

TikTok Ban 2025? What Small Businesses Should Do Before the Scroll Stops
By Vicky Sidler | Published 27 April 2025 at 10:00 GMT
If you’ve ever spent 90 minutes “just checking TikTok for five minutes,” you already understand its gravitational pull. Now imagine waking up tomorrow and it’s gone. That’s the scenario American businesses are quietly panicking over—and for good reason.
As of 20 April 2025, TikTok’s future in the United States has been up in the air. Congress passed a law forcing ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company, to sell its US operations or face a total ban. TikTok briefly went dark in January, and now it’s operating on borrowed time thanks to a presidential extension.
If this feels dramatic, it’s because it is. But before anyone deletes the app or burns their content calendar, let’s look at what’s actually happening—and what small business owners should do next.
The Backstory, Without the Legal Jargon
The US government believes TikTok’s ownership by a Chinese company is a national security risk. ByteDance has until later this year to divest or face a nationwide ban. The app already had a brief (and highly publicised) 24-hour shutdown in January, which served as a loud test of what the internet would look like without it.
In response, President Trump delayed enforcement by executive order, pushing the deadline into April. Now, we’re here: TikTok is live, but shaky, and negotiations are ongoing.
Meanwhile, allied governments have taken smaller steps. Canada, the UK, Australia—they’ve all banned TikTok on government devices, and private-sector pressure is mounting. If a ban happens in the US, others may follow—or at least rethink their platform policies.
What’s at Stake for Small Businesses
TikTok isn’t just where people learn about mushroom coffee and off-brand relationship advice. It’s a sales engine. According to data released by the app last month, small businesses in the US generated $15 billion in revenue via TikTok last year. That’s real money, not just vanity metrics.
Roughly 7 million US-based businesses use the platform to connect with customers. Some have built entire brands on it. If TikTok disappears, those followers? Gone. The comment section? Silent. The reach? Cut off at the knees.
This isn’t hyperbole—it’s a real possibility. And while the biggest creators might migrate to other platforms, small businesses need more than a backup plan. They need a strategy.
Don’t Panic, But Do Prepare
Let me translate this mess into something useful. As a StoryBrand Certified Guide and a Duct Tape Marketing Consultant, I spend a lot of time helping small businesses build sustainable marketing systems—not fragile ones. TikTok’s situation is a perfect reminder of why that matters.
1. If TikTok is your only pipeline, diversify immediately
This is Lean Marketing 101: never depend on a single channel for visibility or conversions. If TikTok vanished tomorrow, could you still reach your audience? If not, it’s time to get active elsewhere—Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, Facebook, even Pinterest or LinkedIn depending on your industry.
Instagram and YouTube are most likely to absorb TikTok’s audience if the ban proceeds, so start there.
2. Start moving followers into owned channels
Social platforms rent you access to an audience. You need to own your audience—via email, SMS, or even a basic CRM. Start adding calls to action in your TikTok content: “Sign up for our list,” “Join our community,” “Grab this freebie and stay in touch.” If TikTok gets cut off, you’ll still have a way to reach the people who cared.
3. Back up your content and repurpose it now
Every video you’ve made? Save it. You can republish it to Reels or Shorts with minimal tweaks. The most viewed TikToks are often just repackaged versions of content that works well across platforms. Start testing that repurposing process now so you’re not caught off guard.
4. Stay visible—and human
The biggest risk of a platform shake-up is going quiet. That’s when momentum fades. Even if TikTok vanishes, don’t disappear. Keep showing up elsewhere—in people’s inboxes, feeds, DMs. If your content adds value, your audience will follow you.
A Few Things You Can Do This Week
Post the same video to Instagram Reels and TikTok—track which performs better
Add a simple lead magnet to your TikTok bio (free guide, discount code, etc.)
Email your list and ask where they follow you most—use that to guide your next move
Watch your analytics and flag content types worth republishing on other channels
Where This Leaves Us
TikTok may or may not be banned. But that’s almost beside the point now. What matters is that you can no longer afford to build your business on borrowed land.
If TikTok stays, great—keep using it. If it goes, you’ve already started spreading out and shoring up. Either way, you’re in control of your customer relationships—not just a passenger in an algorithm rollercoaster.
