MEET THE FOUNDER & CEO
I'm Meredith Banka
For 25 years I've been building brands and telling the stories that make them impossible to ignore. I've led marketing at the highest level as Vice President, Marketing — for a company that scaled to nearly $100 million in revenue in its best year — overseeing brand strategy, multi-channel campaigns, and everything from creative direction to crisis communications.
II've stood behind the podium as a corporate spokesperson and behind the scenes running multimillion-dollar launches. I've worked with local, national, and international media. And through all of it, I learned the thing that changes everything: the businesses that win aren't the loudest or the slickest. They're the ones brave enough to tell the truth about who they are.
That's what I do now for founders and operators who've built something real but whose marketing doesn't show it yet. I find the story inside your business, shape it, and put it in front of the people who need to hear it most — so your marketing finally sounds like you, and sells like it should.

we're different and it shows
what we believe
YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPERPOWER. It's the one thing no competitor can copy, buy, or fake.
PROFIT AND PURPOSE BELONG TOGETHER. You can do work that matters and make serious money. Marketing should help you do both.
MARKETING SHOULD SOUND LIKE YOU. Not templated. Not forced. Not a robot. Like your actual voice, at scale.
TRUTH OVER TACTICS We tell you what's real — what's working, what's not, and what to do about it — even when it's not what you hoped to hear.
Your Questions, Answered.
What makes True Story different?
Most agencies start with tactics or templates, and True Story starts with your story. Every strategy, message, and build sits on the specific truth that makes your business the obvious choice. It's what keeps your marketing unmistakably yours, even as AI makes most brands sound the same.
Who does the work?
Meredith leads every engagement and owns the strategy directly. Design, copywriting, and technical builds are handled by a trusted network of specialist contractors she directs. You get senior thinking on every decision and skilled hands on every deliverable.
