Faced with the fast-evolving landscape of news media and technology, Reach, one of the UK's largest newspaper groups, required the help of Elevate to appoint a transformational leader for Reach’s Scottish portfolio of publications.

Elevate was tasked with identifying exceptional leaders for Reach: an Editor in Chief to drive journalistic excellence and execute a compelling, evolving digital strategy for the Scottish portfolio, and a newsroom innovator to spearhead AI initiatives and transformative strategies across the organisation.

The appointments of Gary Rogers and Neil McIntosh strengthen Reach’s leadership team, with Rogers driving newsroom innovation and AI-led transformation, and McIntosh overseeing and positioning the Scottish portfolio for sustained growth.
