About Meredith B

Meredith Palmer Bogardus is the force behind Palmer Creative Studios, a bold marketing consultancy offering high-impact strategies through a fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) model. Her entrepreneurial path began serendipitously at just 15, when a creative spark turned into her first business: painting artwork on shoes. Little did she know, these early ventures (and 300 pairs of shoes later) were sowing the seeds of resilience and creativity that would one day be the foundation for, transforming a career setback into a mission-driven enterprise.

After a sudden career twist (to put it lightly)—complete with a write-up stamped ‘INCOMPETENT’—Meredith made the bold choice to resign via email, followed by a casual call to her husband with, ‘Hi honey, by the way, I just quit my job!’ (a day after signing on a new house). Determined to bridge an unexpected resume gap, she had a plan.

This bold plan to strike out on her own as the reason for quitting her job, (the plan: a short-term band-aid solution to finding a 'real' job) did not go as planned and evolved into Palmer Creative Studios, now approaching its third year as a multimedia, full-service AI-driven ad agency. A forward-thinking micro-agency, Palmer Creative Studios harnesses the power of AI tools and strategic insight to redefine modern marketing. By offering a fractional CMO model, Meredith has pioneered a fresh approach to marketing leadership, enabling businesses to access top-tier strategy without the full-time commitment. Her expertise bridges digital innovation and traditional media, creating a unique blend of current tools and future-focused solutions that elevate brands in a rapidly changing landscape.

Based in Huntsville, Alabama, she’s passionate about helping her clients connect with their audiences, inspired by a blend of artistry, resilience, and purpose. What began with being labeled ‘incompetent’ transformed into a mission-driven business that has since empowered women in crisis pregnancies with essential resources, supported clients in securing vital grants, and accelerated fundraising efforts—revolutionizing how they achieve their goals and impact their communities.
