In high school, Michael Stoner started an underground newspaper. A few decades later, he co-founded mStoner, a digital creative agency in the education space.
Meet Michael Stoner — the Co-Founder of mStoner, one of the most respected digital creative agencies in the education sector that has worked with more than 300 universities in eight different countries.
Michael grew up on a farm. As a child, he spent a lot of time outdoors reading, thinking, and dreaming. He even wrote a science fiction book (which he just might share with us if this podcast gets 10,000 downloads). In high school, he started an underground newspaper that was eventually shut down by the school’s administration (they didn’t agree with the perspective on social issues that Michael was passionate about).
Michael always thought a little differently — his unique perspective propelled him to take risks, challenge conventional thinking, and adopt and invest in new technologies and communication channels. After heading up communications at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, working in media at The College Board and Halstead Communications, he founded and led the New Media division at Lipman Hearne during the advent of the internet in the late 90s.
Committed to quality, innovation, and technology, in 2001, Michael decided it was time to start something new. Tune in to find out how and why, with the support of his colleague, Voltaire, he founded mStoner.
