About Michael Joiner

Michael´s Story

Inspired by True Events

Michael shared a karaoke mic with Bob Dylan at 3 am in Tokyo. That’s a great story. And Michael is full of them—spending his career writing great stories for global agencies, in-house shops, film studios, and late-night television.

Experienced in traditional, multicultural, digital, social, and content, Michael has produced disruptive, culturally relevant work and one-of-a-kind experiences for some of the world’s most iconic brands: The U.S. Postal Service, Verizon, NASCAR, Mastercard, Coca-Cola, WarnerBrothers, G.M., Purina, and Microsoft.

Recognized at Cannes, One Show, Clios, Kinsale Shark Awards, and Spikes Asia Festival, his storytelling has also garnered praise at the Academy Nicholl Fellowship and the Page International Screenwriting Awards.

His work has been featured at the Emmys, the Oscars, the World Cup, and jumbotrons at a NASCAR track near you. He is also proud to be a top 50 ISA Fast Track Fellowship screenwriter.

Michael’s storytelling has taken him across the globe, where he has held senior creative positions in New York, Vancouver, Tokyo, London, and Detroit. He currently lives and works in a quaint 1920s bungalow located directly underneath the flight path of the Burbank Airport, which is a story unto itself.

Michael’s storytelling took him from a small farm in Kentucky to an even smaller one-bedroom in New York City. In between, he has worked in senior creative posts in Tokyo, London, and Detroit. He currently lives and works in that small one-bedroom in NYC.
But everything is negotiable.
