MediaPodium reflects the expertise of its founder, Mark Undeberg. After fifteen years of classroom instruction and curriculum development, Undeberg formed a copywriting company in 1995. A former composition instructor, he hoped to promote the benefits of concise yet communicative language in a marketplace that had come to value the “digital” over the “legible." He contracted with Microsoft to write high-quality articles for Encarta Encyclopedia. For the next two years he researched, edited, and wrote thousands of pieces for Microsoft educational products. When the Internet began to drive powerful new technologies, Undeberg was drawn by the potential that eLearning offered.

In 1997, he joined a handful of people in forming what would become AdvanceOnline, the first environmental health and safety training company to focus exclusively on Web-based training. During the next four years, Undeberg was instrumental in conducting learning management system (LMS) needs analysis, in creating both courseware and marketing materials, and in developing business alliances for the company. In 2001, Undeberg left AdvanceOnline to start a firm that would re-define the roles of conventional and emerging communications media. MediaPodium aims to empower companies to create unique learning solutions by blending the best of tradition with the promise of technology.
