about Real Gumption
storytelling strategist & creative director
meet megan
Founder of Real Gumption and your favorite storytelling girlie
With a masters degree in storytelling, I'm here to show you how to tell good stories.
Over almost a decade in creative marketing, I’ve helped brands like Steve Harvey and Dr. Kellyann grow through story-first strategy and cinematic content.
Now, I work with leaders and brands as a Fractional Creative Director and Storytelling Strategist focused on crafting story-driven content and strategic systems that move people (and profits).
Think of me like a strategic brainstorm buddy. Or a swiss army knife of branding and marketing knowledge (website, social media, ads, copywriting…you name it).
Basically, I help you tell stories to build genuine connection and grow your brand.
my approach
story
brand clarity, cohesive messaging, positioning
Define your voice, your positioning, your emotional core. So your audience knows you, not just your offer.
strategy
content roadmap, platform planning, frequency
I plan the roadmap: what content, for which platforms, how often. You’ll see exactly how your ideas turn into momentum.
system
automation, repurposing content, operational frameworks
From cinematic video shoots to repurposed content across YouTube, reels, emails, blog—you get a sustainable system that works for you, not just a one-off burst.

Working with Megan and Real Gumption was such a great experience. She created a beautiful film that really captured the heart of the Keala Foundation and what we do. Megan was always on time, super responsive, and didn’t hesitate to follow up when we got busy, which was a huge help. The way she wove together interviews with our kids, parents, coaches ,and staff felt so true to who we are. She really understood our mission and told our story in a way that felt real, honest, and moving.

Working with Megan has been a pleasure, and our work together does not end here.
