Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephen Skeel.
Stephen, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I am the Emmy®-winning co-founder of 7 Wonders Cinema, a multi-million dollar video marketing agency that drives business growth through authority-building digital content. I studied Film Production at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, where I met my business partner and began building what would become 7 Wonders—an agency focused on using video as a strategic tool for measurable outcomes.
7 Wonders is an official partner of NASDAQ and produces campaigns for Mercedes-Benz, Stanford University, Colgate, Expedia, Comcast, and the American Heart Association. The team helped Wasabi Technologies grow from a $25 million valuation to over $1 billion. One of our core offerings, the 7 Wonders Video Podcast Program, provides a turnkey system for founders and marketing teams to produce platform-native video content—expert interviews, brand storytelling, and social clips—designed to build trust, expand reach, and support growth across every channel.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It has definitely not been a smooth road. Creative industries present constant pressure—grow too slowly and you lose momentum, grow too quickly and you risk financial instability. In the early days, we operated out of a basement and cold-called businesses just to get a foot in the door. That first break—the moment someone trusts you with real budget and visibility—is incredibly difficult to earn. Every step since has required resilience, smart pivots, and a willingness to learn fast under pressure. The challenges never fully go away, but the stakes and opportunities evolve as the business grows.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
7 Wonders is an Emmy®-winning video marketing agency that helps companies grow by turning their expertise into consistent, high-quality content.

We have produced campaigns for global brands like Mercedes-Benz, Stanford University, Colgate, Expedia, Comcast, and the American Heart Association.

What sets us apart is our ability to pair cinematic production with business strategy—so content does not just look good, it drives measurable results.

Is there anyone you’d like to thank or give credit to?
My co-founder and business partner, Michael Ayjian, deserves a great deal of credit. We built 7 Wonders together from the ground up, and his drive and vision have been instrumental every step of the way. Both of our families also played a major role—his parents, as entrepreneurs, and mine, with my father as a law professor and my mother as a writer—gave us a strong foundation of belief, encouragement, and stability. I also owe a lot to our team and staff, who bring exceptional talent and commitment to the work every day, and to the advisors who have guided us through critical decisions over the years.
