Mike Middleton

I’m an advertising and music industry professional with a wide range of creative, production, and performing experience who thrives in creative environments and team project settings.  I have an extensive background in music that includes a BA in Music Composition from Miami University.  Subsequently, I spent over a decade as a studio musician, audio engineer and performing artist in Chicago, including a brief entrepreneurial stint at the helm of Diplomacy Music Design.  After several years of applying my talents across the music and post-audio industries, my desire to learn other media platforms and further immerse myself in content creation lured me to the 'agency side.’

Since becoming an integrated producer, I’ve tackled campaigns spanning all mediums - broadcast, social, experiential, events, digital, OOH and print - across a multitude of clients including IBM, Bank of America, Kellogg’s, Marshall’s, Aldi, Kraft, and more. 

Albeit sparingly, I can still be found playing the occasional live or studio gig and am a very active member of my church's music worship team. Creating music will forever remain my foremost passion and endeavor.
