Background

About David Ratz

I help companies share their stories with their target audiences. I'm a specialist in internal communications, B2B public relations, and industry analyst relations. The through line of my career has been content development. I've created a variety of content over my 18-year career, including award submissions, byline articles, case studies, executive messages, speaking proposals, microsite copy, news releases, speaker scripts, talking points, and video scripts. I'm currently at Wolters Kluwer supporting internal communications for Compliance Solutions, a business unit in the Financial & Corporate Compliance division. Previously, I was at Inprela Communications helping healthcare and manufacturing companies increase their brand awareness through B2B public relations. Prior to this, I was at Wolters Kluwer for nearly seven years supporting internal communications for Compliance Solutions, then a business unit in the Governance, Risk & Compliance division. Before this, I was manager of industry analyst relations at FICO supporting the company's customer lifecycle and credit risk software applications in the areas of origination, customer management and debt collection. Prior to FICO, I worked at Weber Shandwick in the agency's Technology practice, where I worked with companies across a variety of industries, including enterprise software, data storage, human capital management, and discrete and process manufacturing. In my time at Weber Shandwick, I helped manage the day-to-day account activities for a segment of Honeywell Security supporting its thought leadership and media relations activities through development of award submissions, byline articles, case studies, news releases and speaking proposals. I also supported industry analyst relations programs for Data Direct Networks, sectors of ADP and Microsoft, and X-IO (formerly Xiotech). In addition, I helped companies introduce products to market, identify their key influencers using a measurement framework from the Knowledge Capital Group (KCG), and strengthen their industry visibility through media coverage.
