PRMoment.com – Meet the founder – Ben Smith

We’ve recently been following a website/blog called PRMoment.com. The site talks about the PR industry and is definitely worth a follow to catch up on a bit of news, or to find out how some the PR industry’s big names are spending their time.

So before Christmas, CES and the snow, we caught up with Ben Smith the founder of PRmoment.com to see what makes him tick.

RPR – So tell us a bit about your background before you set up PRmoment.com

PRM – I’ve worked in publishing for over 10 years, at Archant and then at Haymarket, yes on PRWeek. I then worked at Lansons Communications for a couple of years before deciding to set up PRmoment.com

RPR – So what led you to set up PRmoment?

PRM – A number of things. First of all I’ve always wanted to run my own business. Secondly, I’ve commuted from Winchester to London for the last 6 years and I didn’t want to continue to do this indefinitely. And most
importantly I believe that PRmoment can do something different and something fun that offers PR people an interesting perspective on the world of communications.

RPR – Who would you most like to interview in the PR world and what three questions are you dying to ask!

PRM – You’d need to ask my editor Daney Parker this one. But the likes of Alistair Campbell and Max Clifford hold the most interest for me.

RPR – So where do you see PRmoment.com in the future?

PRM – I’m afraid I like to keep my cards fairly close to my chest, but clearly, the site as it stands is very much a first step. We have some significant changes in the pipeline and we believe these will be a bit of a
game changer.
