Once Upon a Time, on a Napkin…
Ideas can emerge at the oddest of times; embrace those moments.
In 2020, Nick Fox sketched out the initial concept for SWOON Media on a Juanitos Taqueria (one of the best Mexican food restaurants in Tucson, TBH!) to-go napkin. Recognizing a need for innovative, local storytelling - and wanting to help grow and support the people and places we love - Nick shared the idea with his business partners and best friends (Rudy Dabdoub, Christina Rosete, and Omar Valle), added amazing team members, and made it a reality.
SWOON Media's ultimate aim is to assist businesses, organizations, and individuals in Tucson and the Sonoran region by helping them share their unique passions and stories through authentic and engaging storytelling. At SWOON Media, we work hard to help our clients achieve their marketing and storytelling goals through digital marketing, public relations, photography, videography, business consulting, and more.
SWOON Media, Loving & Local. Always.
