6. Corporate website focus
•Our most important
communication channel
•But an under-performing,
dated site
•Did not match the ambition
of our company,
communications ambition
and new brand identity
•Disjointed recruitment
experience
•Accessibility issues

7. A new digital strategy
1. To communicate to FTSE100 best practice standards
2. To tell the Dana story
3. To help attract and retain talent
4. To support a new brand
Crucial aspect was to ensure we
• cater all our audiences…
