David Rattray is a Head of Audience Engagement at Newsquest Specialist Media Ltd. He possess expertise in email marketing, digital marketing, digital media, digital strategy, content management and 47 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "David & I worked together on the development and launch of a new website for the charity CITA (www.cita.org.uk). David managed the project & undertook the substantial workload, delivering on time and with a site that exceeded the initial expectations of the Board. I found working with him very easy - his professionalism and commitment were exemplary. It is not often that you work with somebody with the right balance of the technical ability to deliver, with the initiative to ensure that new ideas aren't missed; and with the communication skills to ensure that expectations were set and met. Worth noting - that this was all undertaken during the CV-19 Lockdown & everything had to be undertaken virtually." and "David is a dream to work with. If you have an idea, he will go away and think about it then come back and tell you how he can make it happen. He will embrace it, run with it and turn that idea into reality, thanks to his exceptional skills and knowledge in the digital arena. Two years ago, I had an idea. It was to completely overhaul the Boxing News website. In a nutshell, to develop a paywall and heighten the user experience. This was a gargantuan task, a case of rip it up and start again. David, working tirelessly late into the night (and often through it), created the platform and infrastructure that was exactly right for Boxing News. He’s creative, adding his own ideas to the project, his communication skills are faultless and he worked with great care to ensure the reputation of Boxing News was never in jeopardy during a complicated migration process. For all that, I can’t thank him enough. In February 2020, that website David created from scratch won Best Sports Website at the Sports Journalism Awards (SJAs, known as ‘the Oscars of sports journalism’). The Guardian, Mail Online, the Telegraph and Sky Sports were all runners up to Boxing News."
