She\u2019s been on both the agency and client-side of the business, helping build brands from the ground up. Alicia\u2019s produced work for global companies like Jeep, Chrysler, and Esurance. She once had the opportunity to direct Peter Dinklage during a voiceover session for a :30 TV commercial. Some say that\u2019s when she peaked. Currently, Alicia is working as a copywriter at a Chicago-based startup. In her free time, she loves exploring new restaurants with her boyfriend, sipping fancy cocktails at rooftop bars, and jogging along Lake Shore Drive with her goofy Goldendoodle.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.alicialiken.com\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/aliciawrites"],"url":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/author\/aliken\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2094"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74949\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
