“Rad Dewey works for me as contract content manager covering two business units at PayPal. He tackles whatever project I give him with rigor and energy, producing clear, lively content, and matching PayPal’s style and voice guidelines. He is an amazingly quick study, has come up to speed on projects virtually immediately. He is a pleasure to have around the office, and has a good store of great stories, too.” — Janet Isadore-Barreca, Senior Manager, Global Content, PayPal
“Rad is one of the strongest and hardest working editors I know–and one of the most results-oriented. He did an amazing job radically increasing the number of people who came to Yahoo Personals because of the original content he assigned and edited and then pitched for placement on Yahoo’s front page–he was a master at making it all look easy, but his work drove a lot of eyeballs, page clicks, and revenue. Rad has great ideas and is a tremendous learner–he helped reformat the entire content area and refocus it with a fresher voice and feel. Rad is a great asset because of his skills and his work ethic. I would work with him again with pleasure.” — Susan Mernit, Senior Director, Product, Yahoo!
“Wonderful wonderful wonderful. I copied the (marketing email) subject line and first paragraph and sent them to my boss all by themselves as an excellent example of how to subtly do all the right things. Just great stuff.”
— Mark Doty, marketing manager, Ancestry.com
“Rad is one of the best writers I know…Rad used to produce the front door and much more each day – he more than me was the heart and soul of the company.” — Mary Furlong, founder, ThirdAge.com

— Daniel Goevert, proprietor, Heritage Coin Books
“Rad has made an outstanding contribution to ArtByNorva.com as he conceived and promoted his idea of my web page designs.

Kevin Plagman, principal of Communications West, San Francisco, praised my “immediate grasp of objectives and subject material and fast turnaround of tight, crisp copy that only a veteran can bring.”
