Through the Noise #152

Ian Mcleod // Founder // Cleod9

On Through the Noise today we’re joined by Ian McLeod, Founder of Cleod9, a music production firm that specializes in the outdoor adventure field. Ian is a nontraditional guest as we don’t sit down with many people from start-ups but he has some creative approaches to generating clients and buzz that could be valuable to nonprofits ready to think and work outside the box. One of his secrets to success is working from a weekly work plan of deliverables, rather than a daily list. What about you? Any useful tips you’d like to share with fellow listeners?

Ian McLeod was born and raised in the Washington, D.C area. He graduated JMU in 2013 with a degree in Communications and Music Business. In 2014, he left his job at an ad agency to put his musical/business skills to use by starting Cleod9 Music.

Cleod9 is a music production company that creates original/licensed music for commercials, digital shorts, documentaries and film. Our business reach is on a national basis.
