Randy Savicky, Founder & CEO, Writing For Humans

Award-Winning Writer, Journalist, Editor, and Senior Public Relations & Marketing Executive

My Journey as a Writer — From Typewriter to AI

I started my writing career in the newsroom of a daily paper, banging on a typewriter, before becoming features editor at a music magazine, editor of a healthcare magazine, and editor-in-chief of a professional audio magazine. From there, I transitioned into roles as the staff writer at the public relations agency-of-record for Sony and later became senior vice president at two global public relations agencies in New York City (Edelman and Ruder Finn) and then director of marketing and public relations at a law firm. 

I’ve spent my career crafting messages designed to influence audience opinions and drive decisions. And what I’ve learned is this: writing is far more than stringing words together — it’s about simplicity, clarity, and the emotional intelligence that only humans possess.

Now, with artificial intelligence (AI) capable of generating content simply and at an unprecedented scale, a pressing question emerges: What role do human writers still play in the age of AI? 

My answer is simple: a crucial one. The real power of AI in content creation isn’t about replacing skilled human writers, but in placing them firmly in control of the AI content creation process. 

That’s what my firm, Writing For Humans, was founded on more than two years ago just before OpenAI released ChatGPT — ensuring that human intelligence and emotions and not AI — remains the driving force behind effective communications. I make sure content stays human in today’s age of AI.

It’s all about humans writing for humans.

Selected Former Clients

Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of companies — large and small and at all stages of development — across diverse industry segments. What all of these companies had in common was a communications challenge that was limiting their ability to reach their business goals — a challenge that needed to be addressed in a proactive, cost-effective manner.
