Makeda Loney is a Copywriter at FCB Chicago, writing for a variety of brands across the Health and Wellness spectrum. Over the span of two and a half years, her career has led her to develop a diverse client roster including McDonald’s, Toyota, Walmart, Comcast, Nike and Delta. In 2018, she was honored as one of The Drum’s 50 under 30 in the U.S., a list celebrating young women blazing a trail in creative fields. She also serves as a Content Creator for Coalesce Chicago, an organization dedicated to cultivating and supporting diversity + inclusion in Chicago’s advertising scene.

As a Brooklyn native living in Chicago, her love for grit and glamour knows no bounds – from sending people glitter-coated poetry in the mail to literally covering herself in it in her various performances. She can also be heard arguing with Chicagoans over acceptable pizza depth and trying to spread a little glitter everywhere she goes.
