Makeda Loney
Copywriter
FCB Chicago
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. She has been named to impressive industry lists, including The Drum’s 50 under 30 in the U.S. and The Pitch Fanzine’s 100 Supermen and Women. She also serves as a content creator for Scapi Magazine, co-hosting a podcast called Fat Outta Hell, a podcast that strives to break down the stigma of fatness and celebrates body liberation.
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.
