Meredith Poling loves finding ways to clearly communicate messages that move people to action, and she has more than a decade of experience doing just that…for everything from local non-profit organizations to a small manufacturing business to a Fortune 200 power giant.
Her diverse background in marketing, communications, design and fundraising has given her a unique ability to create strategies that are both unconventional and effective. For five years she served one of Tulsa’s oldest non-profits and led them in raising more than $7.5 million over her tenure and growing their fundraising event to be the largest of its kind in the country. At Propeller she leads non-profit services and creative strategy.
Meredith excels at combining good business strategy with creative thinking, and her favorite projects are those where she can help a client achieve their goals through routes they never thought about taking. She completed her undergraduate work at Ozark Christian College before receiving her MBA from Oklahoma State University.
