Cheryl Shinton

As President & CEO and owner of Stoner Bunting Advertising, Cheryl Shinton is shaping what a 40-year agency looks like next. The fourth owner in the agency’s history and its first woman to hold that role, she brings both deep institutional knowledge and a clear vision for where the industry is headed, expanding beyond its building products roots into complex B2B categories including life sciences, agriculture, and industrial markets. A vocal advocate for thoughtful AI integration, Cheryl believes the agencies that get it right will use AI to sharpen strategy and elevate talent, not replace either. That conviction shapes how Stoner Bunting approaches its work and the clients it serves.
