Champions of Your Mission

As local community members invested in our city's future, we're intentional about who we work with. 

Every campaign in our portfolio represents missions we believe in and actively promote and support.

Who We Are

Call To Action Stories (CTAS) was founded by Lesley Turner in 2024 after a 25+ career as a direct response commercial producer and later, fundraising development professional for nonprofits.

But it was Lesley’s personal connection with loss that led her to launch Call To Action Stories as an affordable, women-led video production company. 

The first organizations she worked with were the very ones who supported her after becoming a widow and a single mother, navigating housing insecurity, job insecurity and food insecurity during and after the pandemic.  

Trained in trauma-informed interviewing, Lesley brings a natural sensitivity and understanding to every project. Each impact story is ethically produced always working collaboratively with the client to ensure privacy of participants are always respected.

Who We Serve

👩‍💼 MISSION-DRIVEN WOMEN LEADERS

Compelling book trailers and mood reels that capture the essence of your work and connect with readers emotionally, turning browsers into buyers and building your audience before launch day.

Campaign videos that communicate your vision, build trust with voters, and mobilize supporters—from announcement videos to issue-focused content that cuts through the noise.

🤝 NONPROFITS

Fundraising videos that tell donor-centered stories, awareness campaigns that shift public perception, and impact reports that showcase your work and build long-term support.

🏢 CORPORATIONS 

Content that demonstrates your commitment to social and environmental responsibility, communicates your values to conscious consumers and stakeholders, and proves that profit and purpose can coexist.

LA Fire Recovery Support: Like so many in Los Angeles county, Lesley and her family faced homelessness again after the 2025 fires yet gratefully received support from organizations led by the recovery efforts of the Boys & Girls Club Malibu.

In an effort to give back, she recently partnered with LA Strong Comms Coalition (LASCC) in 2026, to provide pro bono video services for women-owned businesses impacted by the fires.
