Dave King

Previously included in the Evening Standard’s list of the most influential people in the UK, Dave has advised many global organisations on digital strategies, reputational and cyber risk. He co-authored Online Publication Claims: A Practical Guide, the de facto solicitor’s handbook in addressing the increasing phenomenon of online attack. He is a regular source of expert comment for BBC, CNN, Sky and various broadsheets and is listed in the Spears 500 and the Spears Reputation Index. He advises governments in areas including fake news and radical recruitment, and educational institutions on online child safety. His hypothesis on online recruitment by extremists framed highly influential research by the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change and resulted in a refined focus by those fighting radicalisation. Digitalis has been involved in mapping, analysing and countering a number of significant international disinformation campaigns.
