Joanna Stone brings a strategic, cross-media perspective to The Agency at Brown Books, built over more than two decades working across publishing, media, and public relations. She has led author campaigns from narrative development and media positioning through launch and long-term platform growth, combining traditional publicity with digital channels like YouTube, podcasting, social, and email. Named one of the Top 50 Women Leaders of Dallas, Joanna is known for building campaigns that extend beyond press hits—helping authors turn books into durable visibility, authority, and opportunity.
At Brown Books, she draws on that experience to lead integrated PR and marketing efforts grounded in publishing fundamentals and modern growth strategy. She is also the creator of the Icarus AI Marketing Masterclass, which teaches authors and brands how to responsibly use AI to scale thought leadership and audience reach.
