About Dave Phelan

I am a digital content manager at Scouts, where I lead a team that informs the future of content on Scouts.org.uk and other products in the Scouts digital portfolio. With over 12 years of experience in content creation, editing, and management, I have developed a keen eye for quality, user-centricity, and innovation in digital media.My core competencies include content strategy, agile methodologies, web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG), and multimedia production. I am passionate about creating engaging and inclusive content that serves the needs and interests of diverse audiences and stakeholders. Currently, I am working on transformation projects that involve integrating user journeys across multiple platforms using a single sign-on (SSO) and creating a content style guide that will inform the development of future products. Previously, I was at the forefront of Times Newspapers' digital strategy for ten years, where I implemented best practices and technologies that enabled novel and traditional news media components to be published in ways that were easily navigable, engaging, and user-centric. I once met Bruce Springsteen.
