Pitching Insights

Benton Smith's coverage primarily focuses on the food and beverage industry, with a heavy emphasis on dairy-related topics such as industry updates, new product launches, and promotional deals. He also covers business and industry themes.

Based on Benton's articles, he appears to have a preference for press releases from companies in the food and beverage sector. Therefore, if you represent a company launching a new product or making an announcement related to the dairy or food industry, reaching out with concise and factual information could be effective. Additionally, providing exclusive insights into trends or innovations within these industries may capture his attention.

Given Benton's focus on dairy products specifically (cheese products included), any pitches should be tailored toward this niche within the broader food and beverage sector.
