Introducing Local Professional (and Mom), Loria Oliver

By Terri Walker

 
If you have lived in NWA for any amount of time, then you are familiar with Peekaboo magazine- a local, monthly family and parenting publication. There hasn’t been an issue yet (since I have lived here) that I have not picked up and read. What (or who) you may not be familiar with is the PR specialist that plays a significant role in the brand– her name is Loria Oliver.  Loria is responsible for Public Relations and is also a contributing writer for the magazine.  One of her columns, “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” is about women in business. She recently profiled the owner of the Press Room.

Last year, Loria co-founded a new company, Peekaboo Media Group, with two business partners. She serves as Director of Public Relations & Special Events. Peekaboo Media develops and distributes relevant and creative content, connects brands with audiences, and produces events that bring women (and moms) together around products and services that make their lives easier, more fulfilling, and fun!

Her business has worked with multi-million dollar companies, such as Hasbro and Tyson Foods, Inc. Recently, they hosted a “Mom’s Night Out” Event sponsored by Evenflo and gave away thousands of dollars in merchandise.  The Peekaboo Media Group also has a morning news segment the focuses on parenting, fashion, marriage, children and more! Moms- you can watch it on Thursday mornings on KNWA/NBC and KFTA/FOX!  Their last two were focused on New Year resolutions and post-baby weight loss.

Loria has been married for almost four years and has two sons, ages 21 months and 2 months. (Yes, she’s a busy woman!) They moved to NWA almost three years ago. She is originally from Maryland and has lived in Atlanta, New York, and Houston.  She is also a board member at the Rogers Public Library and has served as a Marketing Chair for the Children’s Museum of Northwest Arkansas’ annual fundraiser.
