Dave, Account Manager This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Dave Bartons’ Public Relations career began five years ago after fruitless attempts to work in academia, and several coma-inducing endeavours, (which included hawking fragrances in West End department stores, eking out a living on minimum wage for HM Revenues and Customs, and bartending in East Grinstead’s less salubrious nightclubs).

Although bathed in the dry rigours of industrial and B2B PR, he has managed to swim to the shores of the media and creative industries with the ease of Michael Phelps in the local lido.

Aside from a penchant for technical and business writing, Dave is also a passionate ambassador for social media and online content creation. His blind enthusiasm has seen him project-manage, script, present and edit a number of audio and online interviews for pan European and global businesses.

At Renegade Dave marries strategic vision with tactical implementation. This involves building clients’ reputations within the shape-shifting media landscape ensuring their share of voice is recognised and absorbed by key influencersOr something like that.

Despite being a native Brit and never having lived abroad, Dave is a regular contributor to Emigrate magazine and curiously speaks decent French.  He is also a successful short story writer and is collating a raft of unpublished gems. He has much higher hopes for his young son Noah, who at five months old is already poised to become the next Lord Protector of the Commonwealth. Either that, or an astronaut – in fact anything but a writer.
