Clede Spooner
In 2019, with over 17 years experience in multi-facetted marketing strategies and content creation, I left the “real-world” to bring my part time marketing agency to a full-time career. In late 2020, I joined the Xpedition Marketing team and continue to operate my personal business, Crossroads Media Productions, on the side. Focusing on outfitter marketing strategies and support has allowed me opportunities to pursue game across the world that I once only dreamed about. Continuing to pursue this outdoor lifestyle as a career, I live each day with one hand on the camera or computer, and the other on my bow. From website design to television production, commercial creation, graphic design, and marketing strategy, I am fortunate to have found a space to continue to live life to the fullest in the outdoors, while making a living doing what I love. You can follow our progress on Struttinbuck TV on the Pursuit Channel or on demand at Carbon TV and Waypoint TV. Current work projects can be found at www.markettheoutdoors.com and www.xpeditionmarketing.com. "If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself" - Henry Ford3 Articles
