Bio
Eric Feldman
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Craig for the last six years at Riverside. He’s an exceptional writer, a creative thinker and a reliable collaborator. Any project I’m working on, particularly if I’m looking to communicate with a broad audience, gets screened by Craig because I trust his attention to detail and his ability to simplify the message. Craig is eager to help and is someone I’ve come to rely on for his expert editing capabilities. In addition to all of this, Craig is an absolute pleasure to work with.

I had the pleasure of working with Craig whilst at The Riverside Company. In addition to his excellent writing abilities, Craig is a supportive and thoughtful colleague – never hesitating to help when asked. He always produced thoughtful and considerate pieces, for a wide variety of outlets and marketing channels, and was mindful of every nuance in differing audiences. Whilst being based in the US he was more than capable of producing meaningful write-ups for both our European and Asian audiences. He is engaging and respected by even the most challenging of clients. Affectionately acknowledged as the ‘Pun King’, following his brilliant internal communications that helped lighten the stereotypical corporate communications landscape, Craig is a reliable and expert copywriter who I would not hesitate to recommend.
