Loni Swain is…
A New Orleans native who's never met a stranger, Loni Swain has been talking since she was 8 months old, before she could walk!
After graduating from the University of New Orleans with a Bachelor of Liberal Arts Degree in Mass Communications, she began her full-time radio career in Baltimore,MD. She then went on to grace the airwaves of St. Louis, Tampa, Chicago, XM satellite radio and ultimately, a nationally syndicated radio show. While in Chicago, she also executive produced The Loni Swain Show , which was a weekly 30-minute slice-of-life cable television show highlighting people and organizations that are making positive contributions to their community. She also started her own chocolate candy company, Loni Loo's.
Her expansive media career, both on-air and behind the scenes, have given her a unique ability to create organic content and conversation that engages audiences around various products, brands and topics. She has leveraged her personal brand and experiences to create identity brand collateral for clients, script and voice commercial copy, and serve as the host and ambassador for aligned brand partnerships. Her current focus is designing a life she loves while leveraging her vast skills and experience to be of service to individuals and businesses who wish to creatively tell their brand story online through brand strategy, digital marketing, and social media.
