David Rawlings

Director
Landmark Media

David Rawlings is a seasoned communications professional with 30 years’ experience in the digital space. His expertise spans government, corporate and not-for-profit and a vast range of industries, represented by local, national and global clients.
His take on digital communication is to focus on results through engagement, going beyond attention through excitement. That includes AI – applying the lessons learned from the mistakes Government agencies made with web sites in the 1990s and then social media in the 2000s, and they are tending to make again with the AI revolution. David’s workshops for Government in the digital space are a challenge to use tools rather than toys, and to build frameworks around them to protect privacy and manage risk.
