Thought Leadership, Built With Intention and The Right Company.
Create and Innovate Solutions partners with individuals who are ready to step into thought leadership, helping them shape their ideas, clarify their message, and build influence in a way that feels human, aligned, and sustainable.
Here's what that means for you.
We Are Not A Marketing Agency
We’re not here to run ads, chase algorithms, or follow the traditional influencer blueprints.
Our focus is on individual leaders and contributors, people with lived experience, insight, and perspective who want to contribute meaningfully through their voice, ideas, and leadership.
Our work sits at the intersection of clarity, strategy, and execution.
Schedule Your Free ConsultationOur Focus:Â Developing & Distributing Thought Leadership
Thought leadership isn’t about being the loudest voice in the room.
It’s about being intentional, credible, and deeply human.
We help clients:
đź’ˇClarify what they stand for and why it matters.
đź’ˇShape ideas into clear narratives and points of view.
đź’ˇBuild platforms that support speaking, writing, and visibility.
đź’ˇTranslate expertise into content, conversations, and opportunities.
đź’ˇBring thoughtful projects (websites, podcasts, talks, social media, media, speeches) to life.
Often, we serve as both thought partner and execution arm...helping move ideas from concept to reality without losing their integrity.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
Amanda has a phenomenal mind and probably the best compliment I can pay, is while she may appear competent, she over delivers on any expectation you have. She not only does great work, but also, she does it with creativity, thoroughness and a keen insight of what will have the greatest impact.
- Howard Morgan, Managing Director - Leadership Research Institute
I met Amanda a couple of years ago through a networking group and my first impression was, "I want to work with her someday". We have stayed in touch and when I was looking to improve my business model I quickly turned to Amanda. She is very professional while simultaneously makes me feel at ease like I am with a friend (and she is a friend). Over just four sessions we accomplished productive yet simple strategies to help my business grow. She is also very connected and has made some great introductions. I highly recommend Amanda's coaching.
-Mark Hayes, Bridge South Investments.
I've had the pleasure of working with Amanda across a wide range of ventures -including public speaking, business development, idea generation, and real estate. She is a kind, driven, and thoughtful individual who genuinely wants to see others succeed. Amanda brings a spirited and engaging presence to every interaction, inspiring those around her to reach their full potential. Her coaching is both empowering and effective, grounded in discipline and responsiveness. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will quickly recognize they’re in exceptionally capable hands.

If you are lucky, your world will meet the world of Amanda Banks. We met on a panel at Vanderbilt's The Wondr'y, and I've been learning from her ever since. It's rare to meet a visionary leader who takes the time, all the time, to connect people and ideas that matter for the greater good. That's Amanda - whether she's leading events, coaching business executives or keynoting, this professional is moving the needle in thought leadership. Widely respected by many of the country's top business leaders, Amanda gets things done when others cannot, creates space and connections for innovation, and truly makes anything better she is involved with. If you need help building your company or leadership team, or want to broaden your perspective, get to know Amanda. Your life will be better. I call it the "Amanda Effect".
