At Call To Action Stories, 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 at the peak of the pandemic.
Trained in trauma-informed storytelling, Lesley brings a natural sensitivity and understanding to every project. Each impact video is ethically produced always working collaboratively with the client to ensure the privacy of participants are always respected.
