I'm proud of relationships I've built while doing great work. The following are excerpts and recommendations given by colleagues over the years and across multiple organizations. You can find the full and original versions (and more) in my LinkedIn recommendations.

"Bradley was a great partner to work with. He was intelligent, curious and always a pleasure to talk to. We worked together on a number of marketing campaigns and he always made my life easier, took the ideas we'd brainstorm together and turn them into great writing and really helped me think of the overall stories we were trying to tell. Any organization would be lucky to work with him."
- Simon Wistow, Fastly Co-Founder

Bradley has an exceptional ability to take complex technical concepts and turn them into clear, engaging content that resonates with our audiences. Bradley’s work consistently drove engagement and delivers results. Bradley is an absolute joy to work with. He brings a passion for solutions, innovative ideas, and a collaborative spirit to every discussion."
- Daisy Alexander, Integrated Campaign Manager @ Fastly

"Bradley built an impactful and collaborative content organization at Fastly. I valued working with him due to his broad expertise and bias for action, and I deeply enjoyed working with him because he's great and fun! His extensive experience and obvious passion for technology makes him very effective at building technical content programs that reflect an organization's unique positioning while placing it in an industry-wide or universal context. I hope it's not too long before I get my next opportunity to work with Bradley!"
- Hannah Aubry, Fast Forward Ecosystem Lead @ Fastly

"He quickly understands complex technical topics and how to convey value to the reader. He has a unique talent for understanding both the big picture and the finer details, allowing him to craft content that hits the mark. Bradley is creative, collaborative, and resourceful—he just gets it. He developed and coached a strong and impactful team."
- Robyn Bean, Senior Product Marketing Manager @ Fastly

"Bradley is a resourceful, effective and creative marketing professional. My team worked with Bradley on a variety of Mozilla marketing projects and I always found him to be resourceful, collaborative and resilient in the face of change. In a big organization, Bradley distinguished himself as a trusted colleague and leader."
- Ashley Boyd

"Bradley is not just extremely competent in what he is doing but also a pleasure to work with. His ideas and approaches to hard questions and problems surprised me again and again. He gets stuff done."
- Rainer Cvillink

"There are not many people in the field of work that left such a deep impression on me like Bradley did. Working with him significantly enhanced my own work, my brain, my creativity and strategy skills. Bradley knows how to transform an idea to an actionable plan. Extremely smart and resourceful, Bradley is also an incredible leader, having the ability to show respect, empathy, and care and let you grow by encouraging and nourishing your ideas rather than trying to put his on top of yours."
- Anja Fordon

"Bradley is an absolute delight to work with. He always brings fresh ideas and perspective to our discussions and I'm never in doubt that he 'lives' the mission we're following. I greatly appreciate his thoughtful approach and enthusiasm for collaboration. He's a 'must have' on any great marketing team!"
- Justin O'Kelly

"For the "content marketing" success and applause Eloqua enjoyed (and there was plenty), Bradley takes no credit. But he deserves busloads of it. Bradley was our behind-the-scenes thought master. He helped guide strategy, translate business needs to creative minds, zero in on technical requirements at reflex speed, and just be a pal when a pal was needed."
- Joe Chernov

"Bradley is hands down and by far the best content strategist I've worked with. His ability to understand deeply technical concepts, and his genuine curiosity led to some of the most relevant and impactful expose of Fastly's tech stack to date. I was particularly impressed with his ability to distill technical competencies to their value core for a particular audience and the ways in which he would describe that value in real-world and relatable ways."
- Omeed Nosrati, Global Sales Overlay @ Fastly

"Throughout our time working together at Fastly, I had the pleasure of collaborating with and learning from Bradley as he built out the content marketing team. Bradley has the unique ability to navigate and simplify complex concepts into clear, compelling narratives which result in content that resonates deeply with target audiences and drives results. Bradley led his team with compassion and empathy, creating an inclusive environment where his team members felt comfortable, valued, and inspired to perform at their best."
- Terri Allegretto, Senior Product Marketing Manager @ Fastly

"Bradley is truly a man of many hats. He simultaneously drives strategy and vision for content marketing, garners buy-in from cross-functional teams, provides guidance and clarity to his team, and gets down in the weeds and produces stellar content. As a leader, he easily identifies strengths and weaknesses in his people, and adjusts strategies and direction accordingly. He supports and elevates his people and ensures they operate in an environment where they can grow. He is also a highly-technical individual who can easily step in to write an asset on short notice. He will be an incredible asset to any organization he joins. "
- Natalie Lightner, Senior Marketing Manager @ Fastly

"Bradley deftly managed the Mozilla brand, elevating from a neglected idea with no obvious meaning to a major, global brand that speaks with one clear voice. He's creative, intuitive and resourceful and will excel in a variety of demanding roles."
- Chad Kimner

"Bradley has been one of my favorite people to collaborate with my time at Mozilla (and probably throughout my career). He has an incredible knack for not just knowing what ideas will resonate with a certain audience, but how to execute those ideas quickly, efficiently, and in a way that's completely unique to the brand he's working on. Bradley is a great leader, contributor, and team member. He's also got a better sense of humor than most people and that's pretty important."
- Liz Hull

"In addition to Intel, I was able to work with Bradley on other brand work spanning from Samsung to American Express, Facebook to Microsoft, and new business development. No matter who the client or what the ask, Bradley had the attitude and motivation to provide leadership and direction, strategic insights and planning, and above all else, mentorship and guidance. Personally, Bradley will forever remain one of my favorite people. Whether he knew it or not, he seemed to teach me something new every day, whether it was personally or professionally, I was definitely taking notes."
- Sheri Cook

"Bradley's ability as a strategist goes far beyond understanding digital and social and content -- it stretches deep into the world of product development, business logic and user experience. In a sentence: Bradley is the most well-rounded digital strategist I've ever had the pleasure with which to work. He also happens to be a wonderful human being, ever compassionate, insightful and humorous. He's the full professional package, if you will."
- Leslie Bradshaw

"Bradley demonstrated excellent digital strategy insight into a complex product offering at Janrain. He was excellent at presenting and discussing how the Janrain product line would integrate with a customer's overall digital strategy. In his role as Director of Communications he helped create a clear and consistent message around a diverse product offering. His contributions will be missed."
- J.P. Baker

"He was instrumental in helping our teams create a content strategy for impactful web and digital experiences. He was really thoughtful in every cross-functional meeting that we were in together—always making sure that we were meeting business goals and had actionable steps to move forward with."
- Nathaniel Abrea, Senior Web Designer @ Fastly

"I've had the pleasure of working closely with Bradley Cohen, initially as a peer in Product Marketing and later under his leadership when he became my manager of the Fastly content team. Bradley is one of the most technically astute and versatile professionals I've encountered. His ability to grasp complex concepts and translate them into clear, compelling content is nothing short of remarkable. Bradley's talent for interviewing people and extracting key insights is exceptional. He’s a natural storyteller who can bring narratives to life with precision and creativity, all while injecting the perfect amount of humor to keep his audience engaged. He has a unique knack for quickly unblocking challenges and turning roadblocks into smooth paths forward, making him a critical asset to any team. His blend of technical knowledge, storytelling flair, and problem-solving acumen make him an invaluable leader and collaborator. Bradley inspires trust, creativity, and excellence in everyone he works with.
- John Agger, Principal Industry Marketing Manager @ Fastly

"One of Bradley’s standout strengths is his ability to build strong, collaborative relationships with subject matter experts across the organization. These connections enabled him to create content that not only resonated with our audience but also showcased Fastly's deep industry insights. He built a highly successful team of content marketers from the ground up, improving the variety and excellence of our marketing materials."
- Katie Slad, Head of Global Brand Design @ Fastly

"He was always focused on crafting the best messaging that resonated with our end users and worked very efficiently cross-functionally with numerous departments to get projects to the finish line. Bradley is a joy to work with and any team would be EXTREMELY lucky to have him onboard! Bradley- I hope our paths cross again in the future!"
- Anat Williams, Social Media Manager @ Fastly

"He was always generous with his expertise, collaborative and communicative. He took care to find ways to lower the barriers to having people across the company of all disciplines tell stories about their work while maintaining corporate voice in a way that was still accessible to developers. He was my main advocate within the Marketing team for sharing content coming from our developer community."
- Jen Schiffer, Director of Community @ Fastly

"I had the pleasure of working with Bradley at Mozilla for almost 5 years. One of his super powers is being able to go deep on a topic, understand the cultural nuances and extract the universal human truths. Bradley is also a savvy storyteller, and can translate a strategic vision into a tangible experience that connects emotionally and intellectually. And above all, Bradley is a great team player and bridge builder, who values and fosters community and collaboration."
- Mary Ellen Muckerman

"In addition to providing much-needed stability, structure and mentorship to his own team, Bradley stepped up to the plate to help make the tough company-wide decisions. He was fair, honest, thoughtful and wise beyond his years. He quickly became our executive team's gut check and voice of reason. He
didn't sweat the little things or blow problems out of proportion. He listened to criticism with an open mind. He didn't shy away from hard conversations. And, he always, always remembered to thank the people who helped him."
- Jenny Karn

"Not only does he lead, he leads by example, rolling up his sleeves and getting his hands dirty. His strategic wisdom and oversight have guided some of our most successful accounts and projects--from social to interactive--and his natural curiosity and drive for great work has helped the success of accounts that he wasn't tasked on; moreover, he didn't do this by meddling, he did this by getting the best out of others and pushing them to do great work."
