Meet the True Story Team
Meredith Banka
True Story Founder and Marketing Magician
" I help entrepreneurs turn their story into strategy, their message into magnetism, and simplify their systems—so they can experience unlimited growth."
I started my career at $10 an hour and worked my way up to VP of Marketing—leading teams, launching campaigns, and managing millions in revenue for brands.
I loved the work. But when my son was born, I wanted a new kind of success. One with more freedom, more meaning, and a whole lot less burnout.
So I built a business from home—with a laptop, a secondhand desk, and a mission to help others market with more clarity and heart.
I’m here to help you get clear, get confident, and get results — by building a marketing foundation that’s story-first, strategy-smart, and actually sustainable.
Because I believe:
✨ A clear story is your most powerful strategy.
✨ Your message should sound like you—not everyone else.
✨ Sustainable growth starts with systems that work for you.
Through our work together, we don’t just make your content magnetic. We simplify your systems so you can do more of what you love — and make more money doing it.
Whether you’re reimagining your next big move or finally ready to stop duct-taping your marketing together, I’d be honored to guide you. Let’s turn your message into momentum. And your vision into your reality.

Marketing Systems and Content Strategist
"Great marketing runs on great systems. That’s how we create consistency and conversion."
I help small businesses and entrepreneurs cut through the noise with marketing that connects, converts, and scales.
With roots in luxury hospitality, real estate, and corporate marketing, I bring a high-touch approach to every brand I support—elevating your presence with polish and purpose.
To me, great marketing isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about how it performs. I design marketing systems that clarify your message, streamline your efforts, and deliver real, measurable results.
Whether you’re refining your brand, launching your next big idea, or building a system that works while you sleep—I’m here to help you make it happen.
